I advise my clients to book their newborn shoot well in advance of their due date. Most of my clients book their session around their 20 week scan. My sessions are limited and by booking in advance you guarantee your place. When booking a newborn session with me, I make a preliminary booking for your due date. This secures your space. I then ask that you contact me, as soon as possible, after your baby has been born. We then confirm a suitable session date for you and I send you a final booking confirmation.

If you miss this time frame please do not worry as I am able to capture a full newborn gallery up to 8 weeks of age. The later the session is booked the less likely it is to guarantee all the beautiful poses that you will love, but we can still capture beautiful portraits, just in slightly different poses.

The ideal time to photograph a newborn is between 5 and 21 days. During this stage your baby will be sleepy and will be able to be curled and swaddled in super cute poses

On average a newborn session takes between 3-4 hours, but each session is completely baby led so it will all depend on your little one.

I am completely baby led throughout a session and I adhere to their needs at all times. I always strive to make sure your baby is kept content throughout the session, whether this means that it is awake or asleep. We will pause throughout the session, should the baby need feeding or soothing.

My photographs are always led by the baby. I can’t always guarantee that I will be able to do a particular pose or capture a certain image since it is down to your baby. If it is awake, I will capture beautiful images with its eyes open. If it is asleep, I will pose it in cute little sleep poses.

If in the very rare circumstances that baby is ill or completely unsettled then we will reschedule your session to an alternative date.

When you book your session, I will send you a ‘Session Planner’. This gives you styling choices and ideas for your shoot. At the start of your shoot we will discuss your choices and I will show you different props, clothing and accessories you can choose from.

A lot of parents express concern about posing and the possibility of baby being uncomfortable. Let me reassure you that I never pose your baby or place them in props when they are not at their most comfortable. This means that I only move baby into poses that they naturally go into themselves. I only do this when they are content and safe. I pride myself on this natural style of newborn photography which shows off your baby in a beautiful, relaxed position.

The only thing you need to bring with you for your session is plenty of milk, nappies and any comfort aids that you use for your baby (dummy etc); to keep your baby happy throughout the shoot. A session lasts between 2 and 4 hours and therefore I ask that you come well prepared with the things that will keep your baby content. I provide all the rest. From outfits to props, I have it all at the studio, so you do not need to bring anything with you. However, if you do have something that you would like to incorporate into your shoot, such as an important teddy, please feel free to bring it along.

Of course I can! Whatever age your baby is at, I can capture beautiful portraits. They just differ slightly in style. You are likely to have more awake photographs, the older your baby is and the poses may vary slightly.

Yes, of course! After all you are a family and are part of the memory.
