When Should You Book Your Newborn Session in Canberra or Bungendore?
The short answer: earlier than you think.
If you’re pregnant and googling “when should I book newborn photography in Canberra” — you’re already in the right window.
Most newborn photographers book out months in advance, especially during busy seasons. The ideal time to reserve your newborn session is during your second trimester.
Not because we’re trying to rush you.
Because babies have terrible scheduling habits.
They do not consult calendars. They do not respect due dates. They arrive when they feel like it.
Booking early means you’re safe no matter what.
Why Timing Matters for Newborn Photography
If you’re looking for that sleepy, curly, squishy newborn photos, then newborn sessions work best when babies are between 7-21 days old. This is the sleepy, curly, snuggly stage parents fall in love with.
But never fear, if that doesn’t feel right. Or your baby is already past that stage, Warmer Sol Photography can absolutely get you some beautiful photos. At that age, we expect babies to be more awake, a little more fussy but this is where their beautiful personalities start to shine through, they may have filled out their sweet bodies a little more and they still might offer us a sleepy photo or two!
What happens after you book?
Once your Canberra newborn session is secured:
✔ You’re penciled in based on your due date
✔ We adjust when baby arrives
✔ No stress if they’re early or late
✔ You don’t have to panic-book postpartum
You focus on birth + recovery.
I handle the calendar Tetris.
The risk of waiting
The biggest reason parents miss newborn photos?
They assume they’ll book after baby arrives.
Then suddenly:
you’re sleep deprived
time has evaporated
photographers are booked
baby is already 3 weeks old
And now it feels too late.
Booking early is not about pressure.
It’s about removing one future stress from your plate.
