Photoshoot questions & Answers

When should I book?

For the best newborn baby photography results, consider reaching out following your 20-week scan, with a due date close at hand. Optimal timing for newborn captures is within the first week, starting from just 5 days old. Once I’ve tentatively scheduled you for a week after your due date, proceed with the initial invoice payment. Should your baby arrive early or late, rest assured, I’ve allocated flexible days. After your baby’s birth, get in touch promptly to secure your booking. Confirm your session date by settling the second invoice. Trust in capturing your precious moments with expert newborn baby photography.

What if my baby is already born?

Crafting your unique newborn baby photography session revolves entirely around you and your precious baby, ensuring a tailored experience. Whether you possess specific preferences or preferences you’d rather avoid, kindly communicate them at your earliest convenience. Should you find yourself without a particular vision, rest assured, we can engage in a thoughtful discussion about color palettes and more upon your studio arrival. Your session is a collaborative endeavor, and my goal is to align every detail with your desires and preferences, culminating in a personalized and exceptional experience for you and your newborn

What if I'm not feeling well or strong enough?

You’ll definitely be feeling very tired and quite possible uncomfortable. You’ve just give birth! and it’s likely that coming to me will be your first outing. If you’ve had a complicated birth or C-section then let me know. I strive to make my studio as comfortable as possible and you’ll spend 95% relaxing on my sofa. You’ll have constant access to my kitchen area and the toilets. I have plenty of soft drinks, snacks and tea/ coffee making facilities. You can park right outside the studio building, all day for free. If you’re really too unwell to leave home then we can just move your session to the following week or so.

Is it safe to pose them like this?

Absolutely, in the realm of newborn baby photography, the utmost priority rests upon the safety and comfort of your baby. This commitment forms the cornerstone of my approach. Diligently, I monitor their temperature, circulation, and overall ease throughout the session. Years of experience, combined with comprehensive training in handling newborns, underpin my expertise. The methods I employ mirror the natural positions your baby has been accustomed to within the confines of the mother’s womb for months. Rest assured, every action is meticulously executed to ensure your baby’s safety and comfort while capturing these fleeting moments

Who should I bring?

Although often referred to as ‘newborn baby photography,’ our goal extends beyond just capturing the newborn; we aim to encompass your entire family and loved ones within these enduring images. These photographs transcend the present moment, serving as cherished memories for years to come. Imagine your child growing curious about your appearance during their infancy. Embrace the inclusion of siblings, aunts, grandparents, and even your canine companion! Tailored to the baby’s sleep patterns, the session unfolds, typically commencing with family portraits, followed by sibling shots, culminating in exquisite baby portraits. For families with other children, post-sibling shots, a partner can take them for an enjoyable stroll. While my studio features toys, four hours can be quite lengthy for toddlers!

What if my toddler acts up on the day?

Anticipating the energetic nature of toddlers, my unwavering patience and genuine fondness for them create a harmonious atmosphere during our sessions. newborn baby photography brings its own unique delight. Older siblings often enthusiastically participate in the portraits, although a touch of hesitancy can emerge at times. Small children hold a special place in my heart, constituting my foremost passion. Their swift comfort in my presence, the studio setting, and my camera is heartwarming. This ease ensures they embrace the environment, readily sharing precious moments with their recently arrived baby sibling. From toddlers’ spirited charm to the newborn’s tender beginning, my photography embraces the beauty of familial connections.

What should I bring?

Prepare spare clothing for all participants, considering that newborn baby photography sessions can be a bit messy. While the focus of the mess is ideally limited to the babies’ needs, accidents can happen. Pack your regular baby outing essentials, though rest assured, I have duplicates of most necessities in case anything is overlooked. Feel free to bring along any special items that hold significance for you and your family, such as cherished teddy bears or beloved blankets. Your unique touches contribute to the personal and heartfelt nature of the images we’ll create together during the session.

How do we book?

To secure your session slot, I’ll send a 50% invoice for the bronze package in the realm of newborn baby photography. This is vital due to the fast pace of bookings. Once you finalize the session date post-birth, a second invoice will be issued, requiring payment before the session’s commencement. This single payment comprehensively covers the entire Bronze package. Upgrading is an option, sans additional charges. The viewing of your image slideshow and selection transpires 1 or 2 weeks post-session*. Choose 5 images or opt for more by upgrading.
