When to Book Maternity & Newborn Photography

motherhood, newborn

Hi everyone! I hope you all are looking forward to Thanksgiving tomorrow as well as celebrating all of your favorite holiday traditions with your family. Looking into 2024 (already!), I was reminded about the great families I have been honored to work with and continue to work with in the future. I wanted to brief in the next few weeks on helpful tips (and tricks!) when booking photography or even taking your own pictures. PSA: I have something FUN coming soon for that to keep the blog handy!

In 2024 there will be so many beautiful mamas glowing and ready for their maternity photoshoot as well as newborns. I know new Moms especially think when should I book? What will I look like? What outfits photograph best? All of the things! I am here to share a few helpful ideas to consider.

Maternity sessions typically between between 27-32 weeks. This can vary depending on the size of your bump or what size you want it to be for photos.

Newborn sessions should take place in the first 7-10 days of life. Babies are still very sleepy during this time and are in the cuddly stage which makes for great pictures! The younger they are the smoother your session will go. I will make sure to get photos of the all the sweet little toes, fingers, button noses and all of the features you’ll surely miss as they grow and want to remember. I will also capture as many of those sweet details you put into their nursery to always keep in your memories when they were little!

Stay tuned in the next few weeks for more tips booking into 2024, some fun guides for your own photos and Holiday items to come!

Meet CARLY

SOUTH CAROLINA WEDDING
AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m a wife and mom of two, which has taught me to notice the in-between moments that matter most — the way your parents tear up during the vows, your best friend adjusting your veil, the quiet touch before you walk down the aisle. These are the moments that become priceless over time. I work with couples who not only value thoughtfully designed details and personal touches throughout their day, but who see their wedding as a celebration of something much bigger — a marriage built on love and friendship. With a calm, candid approach, I capture timeless, film-inspired images so you can be fully present and trust that every meaningful moment is documented.

And I can't wait to get to know you!

I’m Carly
