Newborn FAQ and What to Expect
When should I bring my baby to the studio?
Ideally, I recommend scheduling your session within the first couple weeks after your baby's arrival to capture those precious sleepy, cuddly moments.
If you’re still pregnant, please reach out so I can reserve a spot for you.
However, if your little one is already here, don’t panic! I’ve successfully photographed newborns up to 8 weeks old and am more than happy to work with 'older newborns' as well.
How long does the session take?
A traditional newborn session is usually 1.5-2hours but a mini session is 30-40 minutes. You can choose which one would suit your family. If you have older siblings, a traditional session is recommended.
Do you provide the props/blankets?
If you choose the traditional session option - absolutely! The studio has plenty of items to choose from to create unique images to you. You can include as much or as little as you want.
I have faux flowers, blankets, coloured wraps, headbands, baby beds, bowls and baskets galore! You are also welcome to bring anything personal you wish to include.
What happens if my baby doesn't sleep?
This is a really common concern of parents and I always try to tell them not to worry! No matter if you baby sleeps or is awake, you will have lovely photos of them. Some newborns sleep the entire session, others wake mid way and others are awake from the get go! It doesn't change the result - you will have photos to cherish forever!
How can I make a booking?
If you want to ask some questions and find out any more information please get in touch using the button below and fill in the form.
Have a look at the type of session you would like and then get in touch. To book your newborn session, we start by selecting a tentative date based on your due date, which I will note in my diary. At this point, a £75 booking deposit is required, securing your session as a priority.
This is crucial since babies can be unpredictable and may arrive earlier or later than expected. Hence, I need to reserve time in my diary to accommodate your session when your little one arrives!
Once your beautiful baby is born and you both are settled in just let me know, and we will arrange a date and time for your session!
