Are you a new parent or soon-to-be new parent on the Gold Coast eagerly anticipating capturing those precious early moments of your newborn, but finding it challenging to schedule a photography session amidst the whirlwind of parenthood?

You're not alone.

One of the most common hurdles new parents face is aligning their newborn's unpredictable schedule with their own busy lives, especially when it comes to arranging a photo session. It can feel a bit like madness!

But we can help! Let's delve into some ways to navigate these scheduling challenges...

Firstly, it's essential to communicate openly with your newborn photographer. An experienced and understanding newborn photographer will understand the unpredictable nature of newborns and be flexible with scheduling.

By discussing your availability and your baby's routine, they can offer suggestions for optimal times to conduct the session while ensuring minimal disruption to your family's routine.

Secondly, consider booking your newborn photography session well in advance, ideally during the latter stages of your pregnancy. This allows you to secure a spot on the photographer's calendar and increases the likelihood of finding a mutually convenient time for the session. Additionally, scheduling early ensures that you have ample time to prepare and reduces the stress associated with last-minute arrangements.

Another helpful tip is to be adaptable with your expectations. While it's natural to desire the perfect timing for your newborn's session, sometimes flexibility is key. Keep in mind that newborn photography sessions can be conducted within the first few weeks of your baby's life, allowing for some flexibility in scheduling.

While scheduling a newborn photography session may present its challenges, open communication, early booking, and flexibility are key to a stress-free experience for both you and your little one.

With the right approach and the assistance of a skilled newborn photographer, you can capture those precious early moments to cherish for a lifetime.

Here at Jade Read Photography, we offer studio sessions in Helensvale or we can do mobile sessions in your home for a more relaxed, lifestyle feel.

You and your baby’s comfort and safety is our top priority and we hope to accommodate your needs as best we can before, during and after your session.

We recommend your session be held around two weeks after bub’s arrival. If you have booked before bub is earthside, we simply pencil your EDD (due week) onto our calendar, and all we need to do is wait for your baby to be in your arms, and then we schedule a firm date once you are comfortable and you feel everyone is ready and up for a photo session.

Please feel free to email me or find me on socials if you have any questions about maternity, newborn or family photos!
