When should you book a newborn photographer?

While every photographer may have a different answer, for Rachel Joan Photography we typically are booking 2-3 months in advance. That means that by the end of your second trimester you want to have a spot secured. I suggest reaching out at the beginning of your first trimester if you are also interested in maternity photos. I only take a limited number of newborns per month to insure I can get you and baby into the studio within the first 3 weeks after delivery. All that is required to secure your spot is a $100 retainer. The remaining balance is then due two days prior to your session date. The initial "session date" is set as your due date, and once baby arrives and as long as everyone is healthy, your newborn session is scheduled immediately after delivery. If you are interested in a newborn session, make sure you submit an inquiry or e-mail me at racheljoanphotography@gmail.com
