How does my newborn session work?
How it works
Approximately seven days following your photography session, you'll return for your viewing appointment. This is the moment you've been waiting for, as you'll get to see your fully retouched images and make selections for your preferred photographs and products. Following this session, we'll proceed to order your chosen products and promptly inform you when they are ready for collection!
It’s time to view your images

On the day of your photography session, you can leave all your worries behind. When you arrive at our studio, we'll have a delightful selection of drinks and snacks ready for you to enjoy while we work with your baby to create those exquisite, timeless images that you'll cherish forever. We've even got a super comfy sofa where you can relax (and many parents find it so cozy they end up taking a nap!).
Your Newborn Photography Experience
5.
Congratulations on your new arrival! It's an exciting time, and now is the perfect moment to schedule your photography experience. Within the first 3 days, please reach out to us via text, phone call, or email – whichever method suits you best. Share the news of your baby's birth and let us know how you and your little one are doing. We'll then organise your photography session, ideally when your baby is approximately 5-10 days old.

Soon after securing your session with us, we will send you a booking link to schedule your pre-session consultation. This can be done either in person at our studio or on Zoom. During this session, we will discuss themes, colours and props for your session and I will show you all of our products and packages.

The excitement is building! We reserve your due date in our studio diary as a floating date, giving us a general idea of when your little one might make their grand entrance (though, as a little reminder, only around 4% of babies arrive exactly on their due date!). In the near future, you'll receive your welcome pack (complete with a little surprise) via mail. It's a delightful read that will help you get even more excited about the journey ahead!
Yay! You’ve booked your due date

Answers:
It is best to book when you are still pregnant. Most of our families book around their 20 week scan. We only take a limited number of bookings each month to ensure that we give each of our families the best experience possible. Therefore, spaces can fill up quickly!
We book your due date in our studio diary as a 'floating date' and then ask that once baby is born you update us so that we can book in your newborn photography session.

Answers:
Our newborn photography sessions take place on weekdays, normally starting around 9.30 in the morning. We have found from our experience that babies tend to sleep better, longer and deeper in the morning.
If you have siblings who you would like to be included but who attend nursery or school at the time of your newborn session, don't worry, we will be happy to book in a shorter, second session after school for your sibling and family photographs.

Not necessarily! It is always worth giving us a call and seeing if we have availabilty. Due to the nature of scheduling newborns, sometimes we do have a bit of space. We always encourage newborn sessions to take place within the first 14 days, but we do understand that this isn't always possible. We still love photographing older babies and gorgeous, timeless memories at any age. However, classic newborn poses may not be so easily achieved with an older baby.
