There are many reasons why capturing newborn photography isn't always possible, and we often meet new parents who feel they have missed the opportunity. We're here to tell you that it truly doesn't matter.
After an in-home family and baby photography session with Grain & Weave, many of our families actually prefer having photos of their older babies and would choose to do so again the next time around*.
6-12 week old babies are more likely to give you both awake and asleep images.
Older babies are more expressive and interactive than newborns.
Parents and siblings have had time to settle in with their baby and are more comfortable and natural.
Baby’s features become more distinct and recognisable.
*Over 60% of our returning clients book their next baby photography sessions at over 6 weeks old.
