A newborn session should be scheduled at least 2 months before your due date. If you go over your due date or your baby is spending time in the NICU your session can definitely be rescheduled.  A newborn session is usually about 60-90 minutes.  I know how difficult it may be to get around after you have a baby so these sessions are usually done in the comfort of your own home. Most of the session will be focused on the baby but I always make time to capture some shots of Mom, Dad, and siblings. Babies change so much in the first few weeks after they're born so I recommend scheduling a session during their first week to capture all their tiny little details.

Maternity Sessions usually last about an hour. They can be scheduled at an outdoor location (within 10 miles of Arlington) or the comfort of your own home. I recommend  scheduling your session when you are about 30-32 weeks. At this time in your pregnancy your belly is usually more round but not quite as heavy. I always suggest incorporating something special for your new baby in the session whether it be a stuffed animal, an ultrasound photo, their first baby shoes, or even their coming home outfit. My goal is to capture this amazing time in your life that is quickly forgotten once your little one arrives.
