Fulshear Newborn Photographer | When to Schedule Newborn Portraits

Expecting mamas in Fulshear, TX often ask me: “When’s the best time for newborn photos?” The ideal window is within the first 14 days. During this magical time, babies are usually blissfully sleepy, letting me capture those dreamy, serene portraits you see in my portfolio.

Don’t worry if you miss it — gorgeous photos can still be captured at any age. Your little one might just be more alert and curious, which is adorable in its own way.

Newborn Portrait Timing at a Glance

• Under 2 weeks: Sleepy, peaceful, perfect for those classic curled-up newborn poses.
• 2–4 weeks: Tiny but expressive. Wide-eyed portraits and little personality shine.
• 1–3 months: Early smiles and sweet expressions. For babies older than 3 months, tummy time sessions are always a favorite.
