Why
Newborn Photography Matters
They’ll never be this little again.
The newborn stage passes in the blink of an eye, a sacred window of time when your baby is still brand new, sleepy, and curling gently into those sweet, womb-like poses. These fleeting days deserve to be remembered. They deserve to be captured with intention, artistry, and deep care.
A professional newborn photography session preserves the tiny details, the fuzzy shoulders, the delicate lashes, the way their fingers curl around yours. These images become heirlooms, cherished for generations
When
to Book
To ensure availability during this brief window, we recommend booking your newborn session well before baby arrives, ideally during your second trimester. The best time to photograph newborns is between 5 and 21 days after birth, when they’re still beautifully sleepy and naturally curled, making it possible to achieve those soft, posed images Chantelle is known for.
We only take a limited number of sessions each month to guarantee the highest level of care and attention, so early booking is essential.
