Session Options for Older Newborns

If your newborn is a little bit older than 2 weeks of age (the most recommended age of a newborn session), not all hope is lost!!! We can still get some beautiful photos even if your baby! Older babies do not like to be naked and will not be sleepy enough to “stay” in poses.

Older babies are more alert and sensitive to posing but it does not mean you will not walk away with beautiful memories that capture your family as they are in this new stage of life. The following photos are perfect examples of what we can do for those older newborns! 

All of my studio sessions take place on a beautiful white set. We will focus on keeping baby swaddled to keep them settled and happy, or dressed in a white onesie or outfit. We will get mostly cute awake poses that are more natural and baby-decided (haha!), along with family and sibling photos!

What if my baby is older than 2 months old?

Once your baby is 2 months old, I recommend waiting just a few extra weeks to schedule a tummy time milestone session instead. This is where your older baby can be dressed up in a few of my many boutique studio outfits I offer clients! Parent and sibling photos are included!

Meet Megan

NJ Newborn & Family photographer

I know how important it is to us parents to capture our children just as they are today. No frills or over-the-top props. I specialize in maternity, newborn and family photography with a natural and organic style to achieve just that. I love all things vintage so you will often see me using old crates, quilts, and lace during your session. Time goes by so fast and the little details of babies and children disappear too quickly. I would love the opportunity to capture your memories.
