FAQ’s
When do newborn sessions take place?
Newborn photography is best scheduled between 5-14 days following birth, while you baby is sleepy most of the time. Please book your session in advance by giving me a call or email as soon as you know your due date. I will pencil in a date for your photography session, then as soon as baby arrives, contact me again to confirm.
Where will the photo shoot take place?
At your home. I can do a combination of posed newborn and lifestyle photographs using your home as a backdrop. I will bring all my photography equipment, some wraps and lighting (if required) along with me. I like to encourage you to also think about props, if baby has a special blanket or bear, it is nice to incorporate something personal into the photographs.
How do I prepare for the session?
There are several things to pay attention to before the session.
Please do not feed your little one before I have arrived and setting up, otherwise he/she will fall asleep too early and it might be hard to settle him/her when I am ready to photograph.
If baby has flaky skin, please DO NOT put cream or anything greasy on their skin. A few blemishes and dry skin are easier to photograph than greasy/shiny skin.
Another very important thing to remember is make sure the house is nice and warm. Baby’s body temperatures drop very quickly when they are undressed, so we need to make sure he/she is warm and cosy.
Please make sure the room where we will be taking photographs is reasonably tidy and clear from clutter. I usually suggest we use a couple of rooms in the house near a window, the living room or dining room and the master bedroom or baby nursery. It’s also nice to use the garden for family photographs if the weather is kind to us.
What should we wear?
Simple is best. I will discuss options with you before starting, and often photograph newborns wearing nothing or minimum clothing, I love to see tiny hands and feet! I recommend that the rest of the family wear light coloured clothing that coordinates, avoid logos and busy patterns that might clash.
How long will my newborn session last?
Newborn sessions are anywhere from one to two hours.
How long after the session can we expect the images?
You will receive a link to a password protected online gallery to view your photographs around 3-4 weeks after your photo shoot, sometimes less. You can send this link around to friends and family and they can order prints online from this gallery. I also offer print packages, digital files and wall art.
Do you have experience photographing newborn babies safely?
I have many years experience photographing newborn babies and have been trained to handle and pose them safely by UK leading baby photographer Sarah Wilkes. I am also a Mum of 2 🙂
