When Tatum’s mom reached out for her infant session, her little girl was already a month old. Most parents think newborn sessions have to be scheduled right after birth, but the truth is—it’s always worth reaching out. And Tatum proved exactly why.
The morning of her session, she arrived at the studio wide-eyed and curious. I had her mom give her a little feed, and before long, she melted into sleep. From that moment on, she was a dream. She didn’t stir as I gently moved her from pose to pose, and she breezed through my entire posing flow as if she were still in those brand-new, curly newborn days.
While she wasn’t quite as bendy as a baby just days old, Tatum still let me capture all the sweetness—from snuggly wraps to delicate lace outfits and even the more intricate poses. In fact, she flew through everything so beautifully that what was supposed to be a micro newborn session (a shorter sampling of my full newborn experience) ended up feeling like a full newborn session.
Her mom ended up choosing just a handful of favorites, but we truly created a full gallery of variety—soft textures, cozy baskets, floral backdrops, and all those timeless little details that will forever freeze this moment in time.
Why This Matters for Parents
Tatum’s session is such a beautiful reminder that it’s never too late to schedule. Yes, I recommend booking in your second trimester if possible—this guarantees your spot and helps me prepare for those sleepy, fresh newborn poses. But if your baby is already here, don’t hesitate to reach out. You never know what magic we can still create together.
If you’re expecting, now is the perfect time to reserve your newborn session. And if your little one has already arrived, let’s still chat—you may be surprised at what’s possible. These fleeting weeks deserve to be documented, whether your baby is 7 days or 7 weeks old.
Contact me today to learn more about newborn sessions and to reserve your spot. Your baby’s story deserves to be told, and I would be honored to capture it for you.
