Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs for a Newborn Photographer

  1. When should I book in? Any time from your 12 week scan! I pencil in your due date then schedule the shoot once baby has arrived.

  2. When is the best time to schedule a newborn session?
    The ideal time for a newborn photography session is within the first four weeks of birth. This is when babies are most likely to be sleepy and can be posed easily.

  3. What should we bring to the session?
    You should bring any personal items or props you would like to include, but I have an array of items to use. If bottle feeding, a few feeds for baby, a dummy if you’re happy to as it can help settle baby between poses and I also recommend snacks for parents and siblings.

  4. How long does the session typically last?
    Newborn sessions usually last between two to four hours. This allows time for feeding, changing, and soothing the baby as needed.

  5. What if my baby doesn't want to cooperate during the session?
    It's completely normal for newborns to be unpredictable. I am experienced in handling these situations and will take my time to ensure your baby feels comfortable.

  6. Can siblings or pets be included in the photos?
    Yes, I encourage including siblings and pets in the session to create lasting family memories. Just let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly.

  7. What safety measures do you take during the session?
    Safety is my top priority. I follow strict guidelines for handling newborns and ensure that all poses are safe and comfortable for your baby. I am fully insured and trained in newborn posing.

  8. How long will it take to receive the edited images?
    You can expect to receive your edited images within two weeks following the session. I ensure that I take the time to create high-quality photographs for you.

  9. Do you offer prints or albums?
    Yes, I can provide various print and album options so you can cherish and share your memories in tangible formats.

  10. What is the payment policy?
    A deposit is required to secure your booking, with the remaining balance due before the session. I accept various payment methods for your convenience.
