What to do if your baby arrives much earlier than expected?
Finding out that your baby will be arriving much earlier than expected can understandably be a stressful and overwhelming situation. At Abby Nelson Photography, we understand the uncertainties and challenges that come with this unexpected turn of events, and we are here to support and accommodate you in every way possible.
Scheduling Flexibility
One of the many benefits of choosing Abby Nelson Photography is that we limit the number of newborn sessions we accept each month. This approach ensures that we can provide personalized attention and easy scheduling once your baby arrives, even if they come earlier than anticipated. Our goal is to be there for you during this memorable time and capture the precious moments of your little one's early days.
Adapting to Your Baby's Needs
While we generally recommend photographing newborns at around 2 weeks of age, we fully understand that babies who arrive prematurely often require specialized care, including a stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). In such cases, we are more than willing to adjust our photography schedule to accommodate your baby's unique circumstances.
Photographing Your Baby at an Older Age
If your baby's early arrival necessitates a NICU stay, it's crucial to prioritize their health and well-being above all else. Rest assured that we are patient and understanding, and we can adapt our photography timeline to suit your baby's needs. We can still capture those precious moments of your baby at a later age, once they are healthy and ready.
Embracing the Unpredictability
At Abby Nelson Photography, we understand that life is full of surprises, including the early arrival of your little bundle of joy. We are here to ease your worries and ensure that you still have the opportunity to document these treasured moments, regardless of the unexpected circumstances.
If your baby arrives much earlier than expected, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We will work closely with you to come up with a plan that accommodates your baby's needs and your photography preferences. Parenthood is a beautiful journey, and we are honored to be part of capturing the beginning of yours—no matter when it begins.
