Hershey Newborn Photography: How to Book a Newborn Photographer

For some parents, newborn portraits are one of those special experiences they look forward to most when they’re preparing for a new baby. Your newborn photos will become treasured heirlooms that will forever remind you of how tiny your ever-growing child once was. But if this is your first experience with Hershey newborn photography, you might not know where to start. Consider that problem solved! Here’s what you need to know.

When Should You Book a Newborn Photographer?

This question is confusing for many parents-to-be, because a newborn photo session typically happens in your baby’s first few weeks of life, but you don’t know exactly when your baby will arrive until, well, they arrive. Can you really book a photo session on such short notice?

It’s actually best to book your newborn photography while you’re still pregnant - ideally around halfway through your pregnancy or even at the end of your first trimester. But if you’re already past this point or even if your baby has already made their entrance, give me a call anyway! You never know when I may have a cancellation.

How Does Booking a Newborn Photography Session Work?

Booking a newborn photo session is a bit different from other photo sessions, so here’s a look at the process. When you contact me during your pregnancy to book, I’ll reserve space for you in my calendar during a general timeframe based on your due date. I accept a limited number of newborn clients each month to make sure I have the time and flexibility to give you the focus you need.

When your baby is born, you’ll contact me again. At this time, we’ll set the specific date and time for your session. From there, it’s just a matter of coming in for your session with your beautiful new baby!

What Do I Need to Know When Booking My Hershey Newborn Photography?

Some parents-to-be are hesitant to book their newborn photo session because they don’t yet know what they want. Good news: you don’t have to! If you have specific newborn photo ideas in mind, that’s great and we’ll discuss it while booking your session. If not, don’t worry, I can style a session you’ll love.
