Or maybe you just heard about newborn photography. Whatever the reason &#8211; your baby is the smallest they will ever be now. And we can capture beautiful baby portraits no matter the age of your baby.<\/p>\n<p>However, in an ideal world&#8230;I&#8217;d recommend reaching out while you are still pregnant. Then I can save time in the month of your due date, so that I know we can find a time to fit you in. I find that babies are their curliest, sleepiest little selves usually between 8-16 days old.\u00a0 They usually are still so sleepy that they let me place their hands just so, and don&#8217;t really mind if we go from pose to pose. So for the greatest variety of images, the 8-16 day window seems to work best.\u00a0 However I&#8217;ve found that babies who are even a month old will do fabulously! Sometimes older babies are more alert. So I can&#8217;t always put their hands just so, and maybe they don&#8217;t like to rest their chin on their hands&#8230;however in exchange we get some beautiful open eye contact!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Really babies are just their own little individuals, even some very new babies are very alert. Others are super sleepy. Some are big 10lb-ers and some are teeny 5lb-ers. Its just always a treasure to have professional crisp photos you can cherish for a lifetime!<\/p>\n<p>Here are some examples of older babies!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-20303\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-18688-pp_gallery\/2026-01-02_0001-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-18688-pp_gallery\/2026-01-02_0001-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-18688-pp_gallery\/2026-01-02_0001-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-18688-pp_gallery\/2026-01-02_0001-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-18688-pp_gallery\/2026-01-02_0001-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-18688-pp_gallery\/2026-01-02_0001-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-18688-pp_gallery\/2026-01-02_0001.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-20274\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2025-06-30_0001-300x220.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2025-06-30_0001-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2025-06-30_0001-1024x751.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2025-06-30_0001-768x563.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2025-06-30_0001-1536x1127.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2025-06-30_0001-50x37.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2025-06-30_0001.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-20290\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-18688-pp_gallery\/2024-11-18_0009-Copy-300x220.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-18688-pp_gallery\/2024-11-18_0009-Copy-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-18688-pp_gallery\/2024-11-18_0009-Copy-1024x751.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-18688-pp_gallery\/2024-11-18_0009-Copy-768x563.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-18688-pp_gallery\/2024-11-18_0009-Copy-1536x1127.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-18688-pp_gallery\/2024-11-18_0009-Copy-50x37.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.jeneanne.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-18688-pp_gallery\/2024-11-18_0009-Copy.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Long time -no blog!
