When to Book Your Newborn Session?

We all know that babys come when they want to, making their actual birth date unpredictable. It's best to contact me during your second trimester so I can pencil your due date into my calendar and use it as a placeholder, as I can only book a certain number of due dates per month. It's great if you can add me to the "when baby is born" list of people to notify too! That way we can agree upon a date within baby's first two weeks to hold the session.

Ideally, I would love to get your baby in my studio between 6-14 days of birth. At this age, babies still prefer to be curled up and are still very sleepy - both essential in achieving all those "sleepy" poses and overall best session outcome. If you've missed this "window" that doesn't mean you're out of luck! Some older babies still do great with posing, while some just need to be wrapped so they don't wiggle around! Either way, you will still get beautiful photos of your baby to cherish for a lifetime!

Sessions are fully customized around your choices of colours and props that will be included. My studio is stocked with a wide variety of bonnets, tie-backs, outfits, wraps and props for use in your session. There is no need to bring your own but if there is an item special to you, I will certainly try to incorporate it.

What to Expect

The comfort and safety of your baby is my top priority. The room will be warmed to around 30°c and a sound machine will be playing to soothe your little one. You must be comfortable with me handling your baby because newborn photography is very hands on. I have done 1:1 mentoring workshops and Newborn Posing Safety Education, so your little love is safe with me.

Newborn sessions typically last from 2-3 hours (this accounts for breaks to feed and soothe baby) If baby is really unsettled, I will wrap them for photos to ensure we have a happy baby; as well as a gallery full of beautiful images.

Expect to feed your baby at least one-two times during our session; babies are using expelling more energy when being posed and in a new environment and may want to snack a little more than usual, and a baby who has just been fed usually sleeps the best! During your session, I will happily soothe and calm your baby, as well as clean up any messes they may make (please don’t worry, I’m used to all of it!) I will always hand baby back to you if they need feeding, but for the most part, your job is to just sit back and relax!
