Soft blues, warm browns, and sweet little bear details to tie it all together— timeless doesn’t always have to mean “all white”. This kind of set-up is cozy and classic, with just enough colour so it feels ‘playful’ instead of ‘plain’🧸🩵

There’s no perfect age for newborn photos.
There’s no “deadline.”
There’s no “missed window.”
… and there’s no such thing as “too late.”

The key is simply knowing what to expect at each stage:

🌼 2 weeks and under
This is the brand-new stage. Babies are extra sleepy and naturally curled up from the womb, which makes it easier to achieve those soft, peaceful poses. They’re still close to their birth weight too; they only stay this small for such a short time! The hard part for many families is that it’s a huge adjustment period. Moms are still healing, baby is adjusting to their routine, and sleep is… basically nonexistent. If you can make it to the studio during this time, it’s one of the sweetest ages to capture.

🌼 3–6 weeks
Babies are more awake and alert. You’ll see more expressions and little hints of personality starting to shine through. This stage can be a bit unpredictable— they’re often less sleepy and more difficult to soothe. They’re growing faster and feeding schedules change. It just means we allow extra time to get the baby settled.

🌼 6–12 weeks {baby girl pictured is 7 weeks old}
This is when connection really begins to show. Eye contact, little smiles, more interaction between you and your baby. The trade-off? They’re usually wide awake; certain wrapped or deeply sleepy poses (ex: posed on tummy, in a basket prop) aren’t as comfortable or safe anymore. We focus on natural moments and expressions instead (and if baby falls into a good sleep, we can *sometimes* still get those ‘typical newborn poses’).

I always recommend “sooner the better”— but every baby is different. You can have a 5 day old who cries the entire session and a 5 week old who sleeps the whole time! There’s no way to fully predict how any session will go, and that’s okay… I have plenty of techniques to help babies feel calm and comfortable at every stage.

If you take anything away from this post let it be this: what matters most isn’t “when” you book your session— it’s that you DO book it… because every stage is worth remembering.

💛 September is NICU Awareness Month 💛

Combining my love photography, storytelling, and my experience both volunteering and in nursing, BEEhind The Lens was inspired to create a complimentary service for families with babies staying in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit).

During these difficult times, it is only natural for professional portraits to be pushed off a family’s list of priorities; many miss out on capturing special milestones. My goal is to provide parents a sense of normalcy in an otherwise chaotic and emotionally challenging time, as well as to help them create memories to last a lifetime.

These sessions are FREE— there is no charge for the photos (note: only a small travel fee may apply as I do not drive).

—> Do you or a friend/family member have a little one staying in the NICU? Visit my website to read more about my services and to get in touch.
https://beehindthelensphotography.mypixieset.com/bee-strong/

Please understand that the guidelines I have created are to ensure that my services are safe for your baby (this is always the top priority) and that the time being donated is going to the families who can benefit from it most.

I also offer bereavement photography (for pregnancy loss and stillbirths). Do not hesitate to get in touch at any point throughout your journey.

Looking forward to connecting with more families!

Would you believe me if I told you that smiley Serena was actually CRYING for most of her cake smash session? You’d NEVER know from looking at these photos!

It’s not uncommon for little ones to get a bit overwhelmed by the excitement of their big moment, and sometimes, that means a few tears...

Don’t worry, I do this every single day… it takes a lot— and I mean A LOT— of tears to scare me. No matter how your baby is on the day of their photoshoot, I’m *quite* skilled at masking the sweet chaos and will do everything I can to beautifully document your birthday boy or girl’s first encounter with cake.

Sharing this because people are often discouraged when their photoshoot doesn’t go 100% as they planned or envisioned, but you can trust that after 450+ cake smashes throughout my career, I know how to capture the BEST moments.

THREEnage Dreams (Katy Perry) themed cake smash for this west coast cutie🦄🌈

For the last 3 years, Shany and her family have visited Montreal in the summer all the way from California… and they always make time to stop by the studio for a birthday session. It’s been so special watching her grow from baby, to toddler, to now— THREEnager!
