What to Expect at Your Newborn Photography Session
Booking your newborn session can feel a little daunting — especially as a first-time parent. Here's everything you need to know to feel relaxed and ready...
First of all, congratulations! A newborn session is one of the most precious things you can do to mark the arrival of your baby, and I promise you'll treasure those images forever.
When should I book? I always recommend booking while you're still pregnant. Newborns are best photographed in the first 14 days when they're still sleepy and curly — so securing your slot in advance means we can get the timing just right once baby arrives.
What do I need to bring? Honestly, very little! I have everything here at the studio — props, wraps, blankets and outfits in all sizes. Just bring yourself, your baby, and maybe a few of baby's own special items if you'd like them included.
How long does it take? Sessions are relaxed and unhurried — typically 2 to 3 hours. Babies set the pace, and I never rush. There'll be plenty of feeding breaks, cuddle breaks and nappy changes along the way!
Will it be warm enough? Absolutely — the studio is kept lovely and warm throughout, perfect for a sleepy naked newborn. Parents often say it feels like a little oasis!
Any other questions? Just get in touch — I'm always happy to chat. 💛
