Question 1

1. When is the best time to book a newborn session?

Accepted Answer

The ideal time to photograph a newborn is within the first 5–14 days after birth, when babies are usually sleepier and naturally curl into those beautiful newborn poses. I recommend booking during pregnancy to secure availability, and we can confirm the exact date once your baby arrives.

Question 2

2. What if my baby arrives early or late?

Accepted Answer

Don't worry. Your due date is used as a guide when booking. Once your baby arrives, simply get in touch and we'll arrange your session within the ideal newborn photography window.

Question 3

3. How long does a newborn session take?

Accepted Answer

Newborn sessions are baby-led and typically last up to 2 hours. This allows plenty of time for feeding, changing, cuddles, and settling your baby without feeling rushed.

Question 4

4. What should I bring to the session?

Accepted Answer

Just bring the essentials you would normally need for your baby, such as milk, nappies, wipes, and a spare outfit. Everything else, including wraps, blankets, headbands, hats, and props, is provided.

Question 5

6. Is the studio warm enough for my baby?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The studio is kept warm and comfortable throughout the session to help babies stay relaxed and sleepy. Your baby's comfort and safety are always the top priority.

Question 6

7. What should we wear for family photographs?

Accepted Answer

Neutral, timeless colours work best and help keep the focus on your family rather than clothing. Creams, whites, soft greys, and earthy tones photograph beautifully.

Question 7

8. Is newborn photography safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every pose and setup is completed with your baby's safety and comfort in mind. Sessions are always baby-led, and no pose is forced if your baby is uncomfortable.
