Thank you for reaching out to inquire about booking a newborn photoshoot.
Welcoming a new baby is one of the most precious times in your life, and capturing those fleeting moments is a wonderful way to preserve memories for years to come.
Here’s why taking newborn photos is so important, what makes my services unique, and what you can expect from a session with me.
When to Book Your Session
Please note that I offer a limited number of newborn sessions each month to ensure each session is tailored to your needs and can be scheduled flexibly around your baby's arrival and how both mom and baby are feeling.
To secure your spot, it’s best to book your session during your pregnancy. We will set a tentative date before the baby is born, and once your little one arrives, we will finalize the date. The session date can be adjusted based on your baby’s actual birth date and how you’re both feeling.
Why Newborn Photos Matter
Newborn photos are a beautiful way to capture the innocence, tiny details, and tender moments of your baby’s early days. These images become cherished keepsakes that you and your family can look back on as your child grows. They also make wonderful gifts for grandparents and other loved ones, celebrating the newest addition to your family.
Ideal Time Frame for Newborn Photos
The best time to take newborn photos is within the first 2-3 weeks after birth. During this period, babies are sleepier and more likely to curl up into those adorable poses we love. Their delicate features and expressions are also best captured in these early days.
Why Choose Me?
Choosing the right photographer for your newborn session is crucial. Here are some reasons why clients have chosen to work with me:
· Lifestyle and Styled Studio Photos: I offer both lifestyle sessions, which capture natural, candid moments, and styled studio sessions, where I create beautiful, posed images with professional lighting and backgrounds.
· Personalised Studio: My studio is equipped with high-quality outfits, wraps, props, etc ensuring you have access to beautiful items that enhance your photos. I also offer complimentary coffee & tea, and a cozy couch for relaxing while I capture your little one.
· Baby-Led Sessions: I take a baby-led approach, following your baby's cues to keep them comfortable and content throughout the session. Because the sessions are baby-led they can last anywhere from one to two hours. I never rush babies or families and I do not pose babies in poses they are uncomfortable in. Your baby is unique, and my sessions are tailored to their comfort and pace.
· Health and Safety: The health and safety of your baby is my top priority. I follow safe posing practices to ensure your little one is always secure and comfortable.
· Session Prep Guide: You will receive a detailed session prep guide to help you prepare for the session, ensuring you have nothing to worry about on the day.
What to Expect?
Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect from a newborn session with me:
1. Pre-Session Prep: I will provide a prep guide and you will be able to choose 2-3 wrap colours for your baby. This ensures we’re fully prepared and aligned with your vision.
2. Session Day: Whether at my studio or in your home, I create a calm and relaxing environment. I work at a pace that suits your baby, with plenty of breaks for feeding, changing, and cuddles.
3. Variety of Shots: We’ll capture a mix of individual portraits of your baby (as well as family photos, and sibling interactions if applicable). You will be given the opportunity to pick the photos you love the most and the opportunity to buy additional photos if you so wish.
4. Professional Editing: After the session, I carefully select and professionally edit the images, highlighting your baby’s natural beauty and your family’s connection. Any baby acne, redness, or peeling skin will be edited out to ensure flawless photos.
5. Online Gallery: Your final selected photos will be delivered through an online password protected gallery. You can download the photos as many times as you like. You can also share the gallery with family and friends, allowing them to view and download the photos hassle-free once you provide them with the password.
