time. The best time depends on which developmental milestone you want to capture and how much variety you&#8217;re looking for. Basically, every phase of the first year is worth capturing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three periods, however, stand out because they reveal so much: the first few weeks with the sleepy newborn, the period around 6 months when the baby starts sitting up on their own, and the first birthday with those first steps. In more than a thousand photo shoots, I\u2019ve seen that there\u2019s no right or wrong way to do this. Every age tells its own story. To give you some guidance for your <a href=\"https:\/\/anjajepsen.de\/en\/baby\/\">baby photo shoot<\/a>, I\u2019ll now walk you through the phases one by one.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-81ac1ccb alignwide uagb-is-root-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-05ea5d94 uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-above-title uagb-infobox-image-valign-top wp-block-uagb-info-box--has-margin infobox-center\"><div class=\"uagb-infobox-margin-wrapper\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><p class=\"uagb-ifb-title-prefix\">Just missed the newborn category<\/p><h2 class=\"uagb-ifb-title\">At 1 month: The newborn window is over\u2014what now?<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those cozy newborn poses, where the baby is fast asleep and curled up tightly, work best during the first 1 to 2 weeks. After about 4 weeks, this window of opportunity is over: Your baby is more alert, stretches out more, and can no longer be posed in the same way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A photo shoot is still worth it\u2014it just takes on a different feel, with alert expressions instead of sleeping poses. These poses are best left to a professional anyway, so leave them to an experienced photographer and don\u2019t try them yourself.

These are ideal conditions for intimate, lively portraits that already capture glimpses of your little one\u2019s personality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During this phase, I take a lot of photos at eye level: the baby on a soft blanket, with me right up close.

Many babies can sit up on their own by then, but aren\u2019t crawling away yet: they stay where you put them, look around intently, and laugh a lot. That\u2019s exactly why this window is considered one of the three best times during the first year.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those chubby cheeks and curious gaze create photos that will instantly transport you back to that time later on.

Outdoors, spring and summer offer soft light and delicate shades of green; in winter, we simply move the shoot indoors.
