When to Book Your Newborn Shoot

To ensure availability, the best time to schedule your Lake Elsinore newborn photography session is during your second or third trimester. Booking early guarantees a spot on our calendar and allows us to capture those precious first days when your baby is still sleepy and easily posed.

The ideal window for newborn photos is between 5-14 days old. During this time, babies are still very sleepy and naturally curl into those sweet, womb-like poses that make newborn photography so special. After two weeks, babies tend to be more alert, but don’t worry—Rebel and Lace Portraits can still capture stunning lifestyle images at any stage.

Keep Your Baby Comfortable

A warm and cozy environment helps your baby stay content and relaxed during their session. Our Lake Elsinore studio is set at a baby-friendly temperature. If you’ve booked an in-home session, we recommend slightly increasing the room temperature before we arrive.

Feed Your Baby Before the Shoot

A full tummy leads to a sleepy and happy baby. Try feeding your baby just before the session begins to help them remain calm and drowsy throughout the shoot.

Choose Simple, Easy-to-Remove Outfits

Avoid clothing that’s tight or leaves marks on your baby’s delicate skin. Instead, dress them in a loose-fitting onesie or swaddle for easy outfit transitions and minimal disturbance.

Relax and Enjoy the Moment

Your newborn session should be a calm and joyful experience. As your experienced Lake Elsinore newborn photographer, we’re here to guide the entire process—so there’s no need to stress. Your baby will sense your energy, so take a deep breath and enjoy these sweet moments.

Add Meaningful Personal Touches

Feel free to bring special keepsakes like heirloom blankets, family accessories, or cherished toys. These personal touches add sentimental value and uniqueness to your baby’s portraits.
