Connecticut Photographer: Maternity vs Newborn Sessions!

Hear me out! If you can only book ONE session...maternity or newborn...pick the maternity. I know, I know many would opt for the newborn! But here's the truth no one talks about: newborn photos are tough. Mom has to stay in the hospital longer than expected after the birth, or baby does. You get home and start accumulating a sleep debt, and you're in a really different place than when you booked. It's hard! So here's my advice: get the maternity photos. Book to shoot when you're 6-8 months long - bump in all its glory, and you're glowing. If you want the newborn photos, then by all means get those, too! But you can also book something for 1 month, 4, 6, 8, 12 months later. Because there's a lot after newborn you won't want to miss!
