Newborn Baby Boy in Wrap with Bonnet

5 day old baby | baltimore newborn photographer

Many of the babies I photograph are between 2-3 weeks old – occasionally I even photograph a 6-8 week old baby in this style. Babies do not expire – there’s nothing wrong or worse about an “older” newborn and I have a lot of experience getting them to sleep and pose just like a few-days-old baby.

That being said, capturing a baby before they turn a week old is something very special. Their skin, expressions, shape all change so fast so I love photographing babies as early as their parent is able to coordinate a portrait session. The studio is set up to be comfortable for a newly postpartum parent, or we can shoot in your home so you don’t have to leave while you’re recovering.
