NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY

  Not at all! While traditional newborn photography is typically done within the first 14 days after birth, many families prefer to schedule professional baby photoshoots after 4 weeks.

 Babies between 4 to 12 weeks old are more alert, expressive, and often start making eye contact or smiling — perfect for capturing real personality. 

At Iana Banana Photography, we offer a specialized newborn session for 4 weeks and older babies, designed with age-appropriate posing, safe handling, and a relaxed studio environment.  

  Older newborns — typically between 4 weeks and 3 months — are awake longer, more curious, and sometimes even begin to recognize familiar faces. 

This creates a beautiful opportunity to document awake baby portraits, soft cuddles with family, and the early stages of bonding. 

Our 4+ week newborn photography package is designed to highlight those tender in-between moments that come after the sleepy newborn phase, but before your baby starts sitting up independently.  

  Preparing for a baby photoshoot after the first month is simple. At our studio, we provide everything you need — from professional baby props and soft wraps to a curated collection of postpartum dresses for moms. 

here’s no need to stress about outfits or styling. Just feed and dress your baby comfortably before arrival, and we’ll gently guide the session. We allow plenty of time for feeding breaks, diaper changes, and soothing moments to ensure your older newborn feels safe and calm.  

  Your session includes a mix of posed baby portraits, natural lifestyle-inspired shots, and beautiful family images with parents, siblings, and grandparents. 

While babies over 4 weeks may not curl up like younger newborns, we use gentle posing techniques, soft blankets, and cozy wraps to create heartwarming images that reflect your baby’s growing awareness and connection. 

Each session is custom-tailored to your baby’s comfort and developmental stage.  

  The last thing I want on the day of the session, is for everyone to feel stressed out, so if you’re running late just text me. Please don’t feel rushed, I always run on your baby’s schedule 🙏🏻  

  Yes, absolutely! At Iana Banana Photography, we have a wide selection of age-appropriate baby props, including baskets, textured blankets, pillows, and neutral-toned wraps perfect for older newborns and 1–3 month-old babies. 

We also provide custom wardrobe options for moms, so you don’t have to worry about what to wear. 

All props are cleaned and styled with your baby’s safety and comfort in mind, making it easy to achieve a timeless look.  

  Our newborn session for babies 4 weeks and older includes 25 professionally retouched images, selected by you from a preview gallery. Each photo is carefully edited to enhance natural tones and skin texture, with a turnaround time of 10 to 14 business days. 

Whether you’re creating a baby album, wall art, or simply want to preserve your baby’s earliest expressions, these edited portraits will become cherished keepsakes for years to come.  

  Newborn photography usually takes place within the first two weeks after birth, when babies are naturally sleepy and easier to pose in curled-up positions. In contrast, photoshoots for older babies (4 weeks to 3 months) focus more on gentle wrapping, facial expressions, open eyes, and emerging personality. 

At Iana Banana Photography, we tailor each session to your baby’s developmental stage, ensuring that older newborn photo sessions still feel authentic, creative, and beautiful — even without the classic womb-like poses.  

  A professional baby photographer knows how to safely pose, soothe, and photograph babies at all stages — especially during that unique post-newborn phase. At Iana Banana Photography, we specialize in capturing 1–3 month-old babies in a way that’s relaxed, artistic, and family-focused. 

We provide everything from lighting and styling to props and wardrobe, so you can simply enjoy the moment. With years of experience in older newborn photography, we’ll help you create timeless images that showcase your baby’s growing features and the love surrounding them.
