This timeframe is ideal as babies at this age are often in a sleepy state, which makes for a more relaxed <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">newborn photography<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> session. Of course, you can still have their photos taken even after the first two weeks. Meanwhile, you can also opt for \u201cfresh 48\u201d photos, where the photographer captures your baby in their first 24 to 48 hours of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How To Prepare For Your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Newborn <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baby\u2019s First<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Photography <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shoot\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Book Your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Newborn Photoshoot<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Session Ahead Of Time<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start planning and speaking to photographers who do <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">newborn photography <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by your second trimester. This will give you ample time to secure a session while the photographer\u2019s schedule is still available and not fully booked. Let the photographer know when your estimated due date is, and when your baby finally arrives, you can secure a confirmed date. Avoid booking at the very last minute, as you\u2019ll risk not being able to find a photographer who can capture your baby within their first 14 days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wash Your Baby\u2019s Hair In The Morning Of Shoot Day\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48635\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48635\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-48635 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/shopee.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wash-baby-hair-.jpg\" alt=\"sleeping baby\" width=\"900\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shopee.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wash-baby-hair-.jpg 900w, https:\/\/shopee.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wash-baby-hair--300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shopee.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wash-baby-hair--768x354.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shopee.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wash-baby-hair--696x321.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-48635\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Credit: <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@ivone-de-melo-1450251\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ivone De Melo<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> via <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/baby-sleeping-with-animal-plush-toy-2797865\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pexels<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &amp; <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/shopee.com.my\/johnsonandjohnson.os\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Johnson &amp; Johnson<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> via Shopee<\/span><\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make sure your baby\u2019s hair looks good on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shopee.com.my\/Point-Shoot-Cameras-cat.11001100.11001144.11001820\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">camera<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, wash it with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shopee.com.my\/search?keyword=baby%20shampoo\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">baby-friendly shampoo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the morning, on the day of the shoot.

One way to prevent this from happening is to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shopee.com.my\/Feeding-Nursing-cat.11000345.11000405\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> them at the right time. Aim to feed them about 30 minutes before the shoot. This way, they\u2019re less likely to be cranky during the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">newborn photoshoot<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> session. Instead, you get a happy, well-fed baby who\u2019s in a sleepy, milk-drunk state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure Your Baby Is Awake Before The Shoot\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your baby is fed, it\u2019s important to keep them awake until you arrive at the studio.

The key is to ensure the fit is slightly looser than usual. This helps prevent red marks on their skin at the waist or thighs, which you would not want translated on the photos. Tip: Photographers tend to shoot babies in their birthday suit, so it\u2019s ideal to undress them out of their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shopee.com.my\/Baby-One-Piece-cat.11000345.11000354.11000362\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">onesie<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> beforehand so you don\u2019t interrupt their sleep during the shoot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep Baby Essentials Like Milk On Standby\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Newborn photography<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shoots are never perfect.
