FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When is the best time to photograph my baby?
I prefer to photograph newborns the first 2 weeks of their lives, ideally 7-14 days but I have had older babies come in as well! It is best to book your session well in advance so please give me a call as soon as you know your baby's due date. I will make a tentative booking for 10-21 days after your due date and we can amend it if your baby is early or late.
How long is a newborn session?
Newborn sessions typically last 1-3 hours but it all depends on the baby. All babies are different and I always allow time for feeding, settling and cuddling. Mini sessions last about an hour.
Can I buy raw images?
RAW images are not available for sale. After your session, you will receive professionally edited images of your choice in JPEG format.
Have you done any training to work with newborns?
Yes! I specifically trained to be a newborn photographer at the Russ Jackson Academy, the leading Newborn Photographer in London. I have also trained on posing newborns safely and pediatric first aid. I have invested in a lot of training workshops and I only practice safe posing techniques, putting the safety and comfort of your newborn first.
Do I need to bring any props, outfits, or accessories to my baby’s session?
None at all! I have a range of outfits, wraps, props and accessories for your session. However, if you have something special or of sentimental value that you would want me to include in your photos, please bring them along!
What should I wear for my photos with my baby?
Plain and neutral colors like black, white, creams beige and other soft, neutral colors always work best in family photos as they are not distracting and will not take attention away from your faces! Skin on skin images are also amazing and beautiful! These are just tips but the decision is all yours. The room will be very warm to keep baby comfortable so it's best to wear something light. Baby may also poo and wee on way so please come with a change of clothing incase there are accidents!
When will I see the images taken?
Within 2 weeks after your session I will invite you back to my studio or schedule a zoom call for a viewing and ordering session. You will be shown 20-35 professionally edited images on a beautiful slide show. After viewing, you will then select the images you want in your package. After selection and payment the digital images will be sent to you via we transfer to download immediately.
