As a Miami Newborn Photographer, I do a lot of lifestyle newborn sessions per year. There are a few tips I always give my clients to help them prepare for their session and get the best results. Today, I’ll share a few of these tips with you. The first and best question is: when to schedule your newborn photos. It’s never too early to schedule your newborn photos, but it might be too late. Keep scrolling to read more!
- How far in advance should you book your newborn session?
First things first: book your newborn session. I suggest reaching out during your second trimester. Like I said, it’s never too early to book a newborn session, but it can be too late if you reach out too close to your due date or even after your baby is born. Generally, clients book 2-3 months in advance. Fall and Spring are usually busiest, so for those I would recommend at least 3-4 months in advance to be sure I have a space for you on my calendar!
2. When to schedule your newborn session
The best time to schedule a newborn session is within the first two weeks of the baby’s life. Ideally, the session should take place when the baby is between 5 and 14 days old. During this time, newborns tend to be sleepier and more likely to curl up into adorable poses, making it easier to capture those sweet and precious moments.
3. Prepare for your newborn session
I send a newborn preparation guide to all my clients to help them prepare for their newborn session. I ask moms to feed and change baby’s diaper about 20 minutes before I arrive. This helps ensure that they are ready, full and happy as soon as I arrive. I also recommend to have your bed’s sheets white! Sheets with too much color and pattern will distract and reflect onto your baby’s face, casting a colorful shadow that’s challenging to edit out later on. Keep it simple!
4. Prepare your outfits
I send a Style Guide to my clients to help them look great during their photoshoot. It includes a lot of outfit recommendations and more! For my editing style, think light, pastel colors. Neutral and light colors work best. I help you coordinate your outfits before the session and moms can even borrow a dress from my Client Closet. I have a variety of dresses that all look great on camera! They photograph beautifully, and are carefully chosen to flatter every body type, from maternity to post-partum.

These are AMAZING. I've looked at our gallery at least a hundred times. Every photo is more beautiful than the next. Kamy truly captured our family and you can see that in every single shot. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Kamy is so sweet and has the biggest heart and smile. She bends over backwards to make everything turn out lovely! Kamy Photographie is wonderful! Not only were our photos of the highest quality, Kamy is a dream to work with. She knows how to get the perfect poses for family photos (it’s not easy to get a 2 year old to stand still but she knows what she’s doing and how to get the little ones attention) and captured natural smiles on every face.

Kamy is wonderful! She is always so accommodating and makes you feel very comfortable. We took photos with our baby at various milestones and she knew exactly what to do to make our daughter and us look great!

I’ve worked with Kamy twice already and she has been amazing! The photos with my husband and daughter came out so beautifully. I love her editing and also how confident she is during the photography session. She tells you exactly what to do and how to pose which takes out all the anxiety of a photo shoot. I really recommend her for a family shoot, maternity, and milestones for your little ones.

I cannot express how talented Kamy is. I’ve done a few photoshoots in the past, and I’ve never been so blown away by the results. Kamy makes you feel so comfortable and makes it a point to make sure you look great in all of your shots.
