After that babies arent as bendy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-do-newborn-photos#post-2041899 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 11:42:28 +0000 travelgirl1 2041899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think she was about ten days old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-do-newborn-photos#post-2041893 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 11:39:58 +0000 whenoceansrise 2041893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had them done at one week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-do-newborn-photos#post-2041887 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 11:36:02 +0000 birdofafeather 2041887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recommend before 10 days but as the momma, you have a lot more flexibility on timing when she's sleepy! Crank the heat so you're almost sweaty, play white noise and clear off surfaces so you have a clean background and foreground. Try to set it up where you get some natural light and go for a bunch of different angles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-do-newborn-photos#post-2041838 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 11:12:22 +0000 sorrycharlie 2041838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm crossing my fingers that I can get some cute ones tomorrow during DD1's nap. DD2 was two weeks early and tiny, so she's still 6.5 lbs and sleepy! She's curled in a tight ball on my chest as we speak, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-do-newborn-photos#post-2041813 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 10:54:16 +0000 coopsmama 2041813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A local newborn photographer wanted to take pictures of DD for free after she saw her and she opted to take them at 11 days. It worked out well! Actually, my profile pic is one of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-do-newborn-photos#post-2041809 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 10:50:25 +0000 getjazzy 2041809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did them at 9 days old I believe, our photographer requests before 10 days old when possible to try and capture the sleepy stage but she was booked up around my due date so day 9 was the earliest we could get and he was already starting to be more wakeful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-do-newborn-photos#post-2041808 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 10:49:40 +0000 dolphin 2041808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>at 2 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-do-newborn-photos#post-2041794 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 10:42:29 +0000 blackbird 2041794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hiring a professional.. They'll be doing between 5 and 14 days of life, which is the standard for traditional newborn photos! Before they "wake up" basically! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-do-newborn-photos#post-2041788 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 10:41:29 +0000 ktdid23 2041788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did ours at 12 days old; my daughter was in the NICU for a few days so while I would have preferred to do them earlier, it wasn't an option. That said, I LOVE our newborn photos. We had our own photographer do them and got great baby, family, and baby with each parent shots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-do-newborn-photos#post-2041784 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 10:39:46 +0000 sorrycharlie 2041784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: our hospital did some too - I love them! but I don't know that I want to pay the $120 for the disc of 8 images..decisions, decisions. haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-do-newborn-photos#post-2041782 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 10:38:52 +0000 ValentineMommy 2041782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our hospital took some. They weren't amazing and crazy posed or anything, but they'll do. That's all we did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-do-newborn-photos#post-2041778 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 10:36:44 +0000 sorrycharlie 2041778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't book any because I planned to do some myself (basic ones) but I haven't gotten to it. Two kids give you much less time in the day ;)</p> <p>C is 2 weeks today..I'm hoping to do some tomorrow! Wishing I booked some because I'm so tired, but c'est la vie. Hoping they're still cute! </p>
