The Busy Mom’s Timeline: When to Book Your Oakville Newborn Photographer
Between the nursery mood boards, the endless baby registry research, and the general "pregnancy brain," your third trimester can feel like a whirlwind. I often hear from moms in their 38th week of pregnancy asking if I have last-minute space, and it breaks my heart to say I’m fully booked.
If you are looking for an Oakville newborn photographer, timing is everything. Because I believe in providing a high-touch, stress-free experience for every family I serve, I only take a limited number of sessions each month.
To help you stay ahead of the curve, here is the ideal timeline for booking your in-home lifestyle session.
The Sweet Spot: The Second Trimester
Ideally, you should look to book your Oakville newborn photographer during your second trimester (between 14 and 28 weeks).
Why so early?
Guaranteed Space: By booking early, you secure a spot on my calendar during your birth month. Since I only take a handful of clients a month to ensure I can "serve and care" for you well, these spots fill up fast.
Maternity Portraits: Many of my newborn clients also opt for Oakville maternity photography. Booking in your second trimester ensures we can schedule your maternity session for that perfect 30–34 week window when you’re sporting a beautiful bump but still feel comfortable enough to move around!
One Less To-Do: Once your session is booked, you can cross it off your list and focus on the final preparations for your little one’s arrival.
But… I Don’t Know When the Baby Will Arrive!
This is the #1 question I get! Don’t worry—I don’t expect you to have a crystal ball. When you book with me, we don’t set a firm date immediately. Instead, I put your due date on my calendar to hold your spot.
Once your baby makes their grand entrance, you simply send me a quick text from the hospital or home, and we finalize the actual session date within the first two weeks of their life. This flexibility is a core part of my Oakville newborn photography experience.
Why the "Meghan Reimer Photography" Experience is Different
When you book your session, you aren't just getting a date on a calendar; you are getting a partner in this process. As soon as you join the MRP family, I begin taking the details off your plate:
Pre-Session Consultation: We’ll chat before the big day so I can get to know your family’s unique dynamic.
Wardrobe Assistance: You don’t have to spend hours scrolling through online shops. I provide full wardrobe planning to ensure your family looks timeless and cohesive in your own home.
The Client Experience Guide: I provide a comprehensive guide to help you prepare your home and your family, so when I arrive, you can simply "breathe and be present" with your new baby.
Don’t Wait Until the "Nesting" Phase is Over
If you are currently in your second trimester, now is the time to reach out. Let’s make sure these fleeting, tiny moments are preserved in a simple and natural way that your family will cherish for a lifetime.
