When can I start booking newborn photos?
Will I be able to make it if I'm 8 months pregnant?
Why you can't take photos after 21 days and a complete guide to preparing for birth
"I can think about newborn photos after the baby is born, right?"
To the moms who think so.
In fact, that is the most dangerous idea.
My child, whom I have nurtured with care for 10 months in my womb.
I want to keep the mysterious appearance of the moment of birth as a lifelong treasure.
Newborn photography makes such mothers' wishes come true.
We only had 21 days to shoot .
"Huh? Is it that short?"
Yes. Babies grow faster than you might think.
Once your baby is three weeks old, you will no longer see that round, soft newborn appearance.
What's more, popular photographers tend to be fully booked by the time a woman is eight months pregnant .
But don't worry.
By the time you finish reading this guide,
"I see, so that's why it's important to prepare during pregnancy!"
With this discovery, you will be able to make the best possible preparations for your beloved child.
We will teach you everything you need to know to preserve this once-in-a-lifetime precious moment without any regrets.
When do you start booking newborn photos?
The application limit is between 28 and 32 weeks in the third trimester! How to use the provisional reservation system
"Isn't it too early to make an appointment when you're eight months pregnant?"
I really understand how moms feel when they think that way.
However, the reality is that bookings for popular newborn photographers are more difficult than you might imagine.
In fact, the golden time to make an appointment is from 28 weeks (late 7th month) to 32 weeks (8th month) of pregnancy .
If you miss this period, it will be difficult to shoot on the dates you want.
Why do you need to book so early?
■ Limited shooting period
Due to the short period of time, within 21 days of birth, it is difficult to adjust the schedule.
■ Difficulty in predicting birth date
Since babies are not always born on their expected dates, flexible responses are necessary.
■ Consideration for mother's health
Depending on your postpartum recovery, the photo shoot date may need to be changed.
■ Seasonal demand imbalances
Reservations are particularly concentrated for babies born in spring and autumn.
"But we don't know the gender yet..."
There's no need to worry about that!
Many professional photographers have implemented a "tentative reservation system."
[How to use the provisional reservation system]
Step 1: Tentatively reserve a candidate date
- Secure multiple possible dates within one week before and after the scheduled date
No costs will be incurred at this point
・No cancellation fees are generally required
Step 2: Birth announcement and reservation
Contact within 24 hours of delivery
・Report on the status of the baby and mother
・Determine the final shooting date
Step 3: Flexible scheduling
・If you are unwell, you can reschedule for free
- Accommodates sudden schedule changes
・Baby-first attitude
Comments from a mom who actually booked at 8 months pregnant:
"At first I thought it was too early, but I really didn't have time after giving birth. It was a great decision to book in advance. I was able to have the ideal photo shoot on the date I wanted." (28-year-old mother with her first child)
A once in a lifetime moment for my precious child.

Newborn Photo Shooting Guide for Pregnant Women
Booking methods, schedule adjustments, and sudden changes to the birth date
What is the actual application process?
The application process for newborn photography is very different from general photography.
This is because the main character is a baby whose birth date is unknown .
Therefore, instead of the usual fixed schedule of "shooting on XX month XX day",
You need a flexible and adaptable booking system.
[Basic application process]
Step 1: Selecting a photographer (around 28 weeks pregnant)
・Check examples of work and style
・Check the fee structure and coverage area
・Neonatal specialist experience and safety confirmation
・Research on reviews and performance
Step 2: Initial consultation and estimate (around 30 weeks pregnant)
・Consultation on desired shooting style
・Choose a plan that suits your budget
・Check the schedule around the expected delivery date
・Application for tentative reservation
Step 3: Detailed consultation (around 32 weeks pregnant)
・Selection and preparation of costumes and accessories
・Final decision on filming location
・Exchange emergency contact information
・Conclusion of contract
Step 4: Contact us about your birth and make a reservation (within 24 hours of giving birth)
・Baby and mom status report
・Determine the specific shooting date and time
・Final confirmation and notification of preparation matters
[Practical techniques for scheduling]
Professional photographers maintain a flexible schedule by:
■ Securing "reservation slots"
・Tentatively reserve multiple dates within two weeks of the scheduled date
-Available on both weekdays and weekends
- Multiple morning and afternoon time slots available
■ Utilizing the "standby system"
・Guaranteed response within 24 hours of birth notification
- Priority response system in emergencies
・Working with alternative photographers
■ Setting "flexible rates"
・No difference in price between weekdays and weekends
・No additional charges depending on the time of day
No extra charges even for sudden changes
[Measures to deal with sudden changes in birth date]
"He was born two weeks early!"
"There's still no sign of the baby...it's a week past the due date."
This situation is actually very common.
A reputable photographer will:
■ In the case of premature birth
Immediate schedule adjustments
・Photography available in the NICU (with doctor's permission)
・Shooting took place after the patient had recovered from hospital
- Ensure implementation within 21 days of birth
■ If the scheduled date has passed
・Extending reservation slots
Coordination with other customers
・Continuous communication system until delivery

Advice from a mom who has actually applied:
"At first, it seemed complicated, but the professionals helped me with everything. The important thing is to choose a photographer you can trust. That way, you can leave it to them with peace of mind." (29-year-old mother with her first child)
Once in a lifetime newborn photos.
Why not prepare properly and create the best memories?
👉Understanding the importance of shooting duration in detail
Is it true that you can no longer take newborn photos after 21 days?
The scientific reason why a newborn's body suddenly changes and the moment when fetal pose disappears
"I heard that newborn photos should be taken 21 days after birth, but is 22 days not okay?"
I really understand how moms feel when they think that way.
However, there is a deep medical basis for this 21-day deadline.
A newborn baby's body still remembers the memory of being in the mother's womb .
That comforting position he spent 10 months curled up in a warm belly.
This is called the "fetal pose" and is the greatest appeal of newborn photography.
However, around three weeks after birth, your baby's body undergoes some dramatic changes:
■ Rapid muscle development
The muscles in the neck and limbs become stronger, and they can move freely at will.
■ Significant increase in awake time
I went from sleeping 20 hours a day to waking up and looking around twice as much.
■ Changes in body shape and facial features
The plump, rounded features of a newborn baby are lost, giving the baby a unique facial appearance.
"But my child is still small, so it's okay, right?"
In fact, this change is not due to the baby's weight or size,
It is determined by the number of days since birth .
This means that even small babies born prematurely
Even big babies born on their due date,
Just like after 21 days of age, the baby loses its "newborn-ness."
That's why newborn photography is called a "limited-time miracle."
How to choose a newborn photoshoot
On-site photography vs. studio photography: Which is better for babies? Price comparison
"Where should I get newborn photos?"
For first-time moms, choosing where to request a photoshoot can be a real headache.
In fact, in the United States, the home of newborn photography,
On-site photography at home is the norm .
The reason is clear: to minimize stress on the mother and baby during the first three weeks of life .
■ Benefits of on-site photography
- Your baby will relax in a familiar home environment
Breastfeeding and diaper changes are possible at any time
- Adjust the room temperature and humidity to suit your baby
・Minimize the risk of infection
・Does not put strain on the mother's postpartum body
■ Disadvantages of studio photography
・Stress on the baby due to travel
- Stress in an unfamiliar environment
・Risk of contact with other customers
・Restrictions on nursing rooms and diaper changing
"But on-site photography seems expensive..."
In fact, when you take into account hidden costs, on-site photography is often more cost-effective.
Price comparison (example)
On-site photography:
・Basic fee: 40,000 to 60,000 yen
・Costume and accessory rental: included
・50 to 80 data sheets: included
Actual cost of studio photography:
・Basic fee: 30,000 yen
・Costume rental: 5,000 yen
・Round trip taxi: 8,000 yen
・Additional data: 10,000 yen
・Album creation: 15,000 yen
Total: 68,000 yen
The most important thing is the comfort of mother and baby .
Newborn photography is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Why not minimize the burden on your baby and create the best memories possible?
Should I prepare my newborn photo outfits while pregnant?
How to choose a swaddling cloth or hat and how to identify materials that will protect your baby's skin
"I can prepare the outfits for the newborn photos after the birth, right?"
If you're thinking that, wait a minute!
In fact, it is a golden rule to prepare your costumes while you are pregnant .
Because postpartum moms are busier than you might imagine.
There's no time to leisurely choose an outfit.
"But what should I prepare?"
There aren't actually that many outfits required for newborn photos.
All you need are these five basic items :
[Essential Item 1] Swaddling Cloths (2 pieces)
This is the most important item that wraps your baby in the same way as if he or she were in the mother's womb.
・Size: 120cm x 120cm or more
・Material: 100% organic cotton
- Color: White, beige, pastel colors
Essential Item 2: Knit hats (2-3)
It makes your newborn's tiny head look adorable.

・Material: Soft wool or 100% cotton
・Design: Simple plain
[Must-have item 3] Lace crown
A popular item that creates a "little prince/princess" look.
Material: 100% cotton soft lace
・Structure: Safe design without wires
-Size: Adjustable type
[Essential Item 4] Background Blanket
It plays an important role as a backdrop for filming.

[Essential Item 5] Moon Age Card
An item that records the date of the photo shoot and information about the baby.
Design: Simple and easy to read
・Information: Name, date of birth, height, weight
Important points to keep in mind when choosing materials:
A newborn's skin is one-tenth as thin as an adult's.
The following materials should be avoided at all costs:
❌ 100% acrylic (static tingling)
❌ 100% synthetic fiber (causes skin irritation)
❌ Dark dyes (worried about skin irritation)
⭕ 100% organic cotton
⭕ Bamboo fiber (antibacterial and deodorizing effects)
⭕ Natural-based blend
You may think, "I don't need to worry about that..."
Newborn photography involves babies spending a lot of time in just their underwear.
To protect the skin of my beloved child,
Don't compromise on the choice of materials .
Newborn Photo Accessories: DIY vs. Purchase vs. Rental
Which is the correct answer?
How to use 100 yen shops vs. specialty shops - Explaining why soaking is essential
"It seems like it would be expensive to buy all the accessories for newborn photos..."
Moms who are worried about this, don't worry!
In fact, smart moms use a combination of handmade, purchased, and rented items .
It's cost-effective and allows you to take great photos.
[Recommended handmade accessories]
■ Lace Crown
・Material cost: 300 yen (100 yen lace + glue)

[Recommended accessories to purchase]

Since it comes into direct contact with baby's skin, I prioritized quality when purchasing.

■ Knitted hats

Why is "watering" necessary?
"It's brand new so it's okay not to wash it, right?"
That's a big mistake!
New clothes contain a chemical called formaldehyde.
This is due to insect and mold prevention treatment during the manufacturing process.
It's too harsh for a newborn's sensitive skin .
By soaking in water:
・Removes chemical substances
・Soften the dough
・Improves water absorption
・Prevents baby's skin problems
For my beloved child,
Don't hesitate to take just 10 minutes .
[Example of the best value combination]
・Swaddling cloth (purchase): 4,000 yen
・Knitted hat (purchase): 2,000 yen
・Lace crown (handmade): 300 yen
・Monthly age card (handmade): 200 yen
・Basket (rental): 3,000 yen
Total: 9,500 yen
(If you purchase all: 35,000 yen)
Newborn photo shoot day
What to do if the baby cries?
The secret to a 100% success rate is feeding timing and room temperature control
"What if my baby won't stop crying during my newborn photo shoot?"
It's a common fear that any first-time mom has.
But it's okay!
If you prepare well in advance, your baby will sleep like an angel .
[Golden schedule for the day of shooting]
2 hours before the start of shooting:
・Set the room temperature to 26-28 degrees
- Adjust the humidity to 50-60%
- Tidying up and cleaning the photo area
1 hour before shooting begins:
・Breastfeeding your baby (enough to fill their stomach)
Burp thoroughly
・Diaper change
30 minutes before the start of shooting:
・Photographer arrives and sets up equipment
- Final check on the baby
・Mom's relaxation time too
[Magical solution when your baby cries]
■ Comforting your baby with a hug
Gently rock the baby from side to side while listening to the mother's heartbeat
Saying "It's okay, Mommy's here" is also effective
■ Wrapping in a swaddling cloth
Reminds you of the feeling of being in the womb
Firmly securing your arms and legs will help you sleep more comfortably
■ Patting your back
Gently tapping in rhythm with your heartbeat
The key is to play with a consistent rhythm, neither too strong nor too weak.
■ Last resort: Breastfeeding
If your baby won't stop crying, breastfeed without forcing it
A full baby will always sleep deeply
[The importance of room temperature control]
A temperature that adults would find slightly hot is ideal for babies.
This is because newborns have immature thermoregulation systems.
When your body temperature drops, you tend to become cranky .
・Summer: Air conditioner set to 26-27 degrees (avoid direct airflow)
Winter: Heat to 28-29°C (use a humidifier)
Spring and Autumn: Room temperature 25-26°C (natural environment)
[Mom's mental preparation is also important]
Babies are sensitive to their mother's feelings.
Rather than worrying, "Can I take a good photo?"
Think of the happiness of being able to preserve the adorable image of your child .
When mommy is relaxed,
It also naturally calms babies.
Once in a lifetime newborn photos.
Don't strive for perfection, just enjoy a time filled with love .
