Celebrating New Life
Safety and Timing Are Essential for Every Maternity and Newborn Portrait Session
Maternity and newborn photography are beautiful ways to capture the fleeting moments of pregnancy and the early days of your baby’s life. However, these sessions require careful planning, attention to safety, and an understanding of the ideal timings to ensure the best results. At Life Times Photography in Madison, WI, we prioritize safety, comfort, and artistry to create exquisite albums and wall art that you’ll treasure forever. Here’s everything you need to know about the process and why we’re the right choice for your maternity and newborn photography needs.
Safety Considerations for Maternity and Newborn Photography
The ideal time for maternity photos is between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. During this period, your baby bump is beautifully pronounced, but you’re still comfortable enough to move and pose. Avoid scheduling too close to your due date, as you may feel fatigued or uncomfortable.
We prioritize poses that are safe and comfortable for you. This includes avoiding positions that strain your back or require balancing on uneven surfaces.
Outdoor sessions are carefully planned to avoid extreme weather conditions, uneven terrain, or other hazards.
Indoor sessions are conducted in a clean, controlled environment with proper lighting and temperature regulation.
Newborn sessions are best scheduled within the first 1 to 14 days of life. During this time, babies are sleepier and more flexible, making it easier to capture those curled-up, peaceful poses.
Safety is our top priority when handling your newborn. We use gentle, natural poses that do not force the baby into uncomfortable positions.
All props, blankets, and wraps are sanitized before and after each session.
We maintain a clean studio environment and ensure that anyone handling the baby washes their hands thoroughly. We recommend having your session in your hospital room when possible.
Parents are encouraged to stay close during the session to provide comfort and reassurance to their baby.
We never rush the process and take breaks as needed for feeding, diaper changes, or cuddles.
Babies tend to be calmer and more cooperative in the morning, so we recommend scheduling sessions during this time.
At Life Times Photography, we combine safety, expertise, and artistry to create a seamless and memorable experience for you and your family.
