Question

I am a photographer specializing in newborn photography (photos of babies from 0 to two weeks old). I wanted to know if I am allowed to take these photos during Chol Hamoed for a family for free? Is it considered a 'davar ha'aved' since the recommendation is to photograph only up to two weeks old?

Answer

Shalom Rav

If it was not possible to photograph before the holiday, and after the holiday the time will have passed, it is considered a 'davar ha'aved' and is permitted.
