If you’re searching for a newborn photographer near you and wondering when to schedule your Peoria, Illinois newborn photos-that must mean congratulations are in order! What an exciting time for your family! As you begin to prepare for baby’s arrival, keep these things in mind when scheduling your photos!

1. You’ll want to book your Peoria, Illinois newborn photos by about your 4-5th month of pregnancy. This will make sure you get on your preferred photographer’s schedule, as photographer’s schedule by due date. Most photographer’s also take on a limited amount of newborn photos each month to ensure flexibility as babies can be unpredictable. At that time, we will tentatively schedule your newborn photos for approximately 10-14 days after your due date.
2. Booking by about the 4-5th month also allows you plenty of time to schedule a maternity session to document this transformative time. Before you know it, you’ll be busy with baby showers and baby moons and this short time will have passed you by. Scheduling a Peoria, Illinois newborn and maternity session at the same time means that you will get to freeze these moments forever.
3. Don’t wait until the last minute. The biggest regret I see is families who don’t schedule newborn photos. Of course-you can take photos of your family at any time. But those first few weeks are so tender and indescribable. You’ll be so thankful you have the photographs to look back and remember the magical newborn blur.
