Don't sleep on booking that newborn session!

This sweet little guy might be sleepy, but those precious newborn days certainly don't slow down!

Between preparing the nursery, doctor's appointments, and getting everything ready for your baby's arrival, it's easy to put newborn photography on the back burner.

But here's something I always tell expecting parents: Book your newborn photographer before your baby arrives!

At Heidi Houser Photography in downtown Hickory, NC, I specialize in capturing those tiny details, sleepy expressions, little fingers, and beautiful first family memories.

And yes, I'm already booking newborn due dates for 2027!

When Is the Best Time for Newborn Photos?

I recommend scheduling newborn portraits when your baby is 1–3 weeks old.

During those early weeks, babies are often sleepier and more comfortable being gently posed in those sweet, curled-up newborn positions.

Every baby is different, and with decades of photography experience, I understand the importance of patience, comfort, and working around your baby's needs.

How Do I Book If My Baby Hasn't Arrived Yet?

It's easy!

Simply book your newborn session online using your due date.

Once your baby arrives, we can adjust the appointment if needed. Babies have their own schedules, and that's perfectly fine!

Booking early helps secure your place on my calendar so you aren't scrambling to find a newborn photographer after delivery.

Baby Already Here? Book Now!

If your little one has already made an appearance, don't wait!

Check my online booking calendar for availability. The preferred newborn photography window is 1–3 weeks after birth, but beautiful portraits can still be created with older newborns.

What to Expect at My Downtown Hickory Newborn Studio

My photography studio is fully equipped with newborn outfits, wraps, blankets, baskets, props, and accessories.

I provide everything needed for your baby's portraits, so you don't have to worry about purchasing special newborn outfits.

Before your session, we'll discuss your favorite colors, poses, and the style you love.

Can Parents and Siblings Be Included?

Absolutely!

Depending on the collection you choose, we can photograph baby alone or include mom, dad, and siblings.

Some of the most meaningful photographs are those first family portraits with your newest little addition.

These moments deserve to be remembered.

Your Newborn Portraits, Your Favorites

After your session, you'll receive an online proof gallery where you can view your photographs and choose your favorite images included in your collection.

Additional digital images and professional prints are available for purchase.

Whether you're expecting your first baby or welcoming another little one, I'd love to capture these fleeting moments for your family.
