As a newborn photographer serving the San Jose and Silicon Valley area, I used to tell my clients that newborn styled photos could only be achieved with babies that were 2 weeks old or younger. However, after working with several babies that were already 3-6 weeks old, I have come to realize that there is still an opportunity for older babies to be captured in those sleepy, adorable newborn poses!

Meet beautiful little Morgan who came to my studio at 40 days old! Like most parents, Morgan’s mom and dad were so overwhelmed with the arrival of their first baby that they didn’t even realize the need to schedule their daughter’s newborn photo session within the first few days of birth! Well, it’s a good thing they didn’t give up because Morgan turned out to be quite the sleepy head and allowed me to pose her in multiple setups! How gorgeous is this little girl?

Even though I still highly recommend bringing your newborn baby to our studio within 5-14 days of birth, I also happily welcome babies that are a few weeks older! Every baby is different, so don’t pass up the precious opportunity of having your new baby’s portraits captured! They only stay this tiny for a few short weeks!

Heads up! Two Leaf Photography will be moving to the San Francisco Bay area in August and will be serving San Jose, Palo Alto, Saratoga, Mountain View, Santa Clara and the surrounding areas for maternity, newborn, baby, children, family, and birthday party photography! Not to worry though since I will continue to serve Bergen County and other surrounding New Jersey and New York Metro areas until July 2015.
