What to expect at your newborn photography session — JLC Photography Ellesmere Port

May 2025  ·  Newborn

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. 💛

How to prepare for a cake smash session — JLC Photography Cheshire

April 2025  ·  Cake Smash

How to Prepare for the Perfect Cake Smash Session

Your little one's first birthday is a huge milestone — and a cake smash session is the most joyful way to celebrate it. Here's how to get ready...

A cake smash session is honestly one of my favourites to photograph — the expressions, the mess, the pure joy of a baby discovering cake for the very first time. It never gets old!

Choosing a theme — You don't have to have a theme, but many families like to tie it in with their birthday party colours. Think about what colours you'd like and I can set the studio up to match.

The cake — I recommend a simple, soft sponge cake. Nothing too hard or elaborate — baby needs to be able to get stuck in easily! A local bakery can usually do something perfect for a reasonable price.

What to wear — A cute outfit for the "before" shots, then something you don't mind getting covered in cake for the smash itself! We finish with a splash in a little tub to clean up, so bring a towel and a change of clothes.

Timing is everything — Book the session for a time when baby is usually happy and well rested — not nap time! A fed, happy baby makes for the best photos.

Can't wait to capture your little one's big day! 🎂

Why you should book a maternity photography session — JLC Photography Cheshire

March 2025  ·  Maternity

Why Every Mum-to-Be Deserves a Maternity Session

So many mums-to-be tell me they almost didn't book a maternity session — and every single one says it's one of the best decisions they made. Here's why...

Pregnancy is such a fleeting, magical time — and it goes so fast. Before you know it baby is here and those beautiful bump days are a distant memory. A maternity session is your chance to slow down and really celebrate what your body is doing.

"But I don't feel photogenic right now..." — This is the thing I hear most, and I completely understand it. But I promise you, pregnancy is one of the most beautiful things I photograph. You will be amazed at how stunning the images are.

When should I book? The sweet spot is usually between 28 and 34 weeks — bump is beautifully round but you're still comfortable and mobile.

What do I wear? I have a selection of gorgeous flowing gowns in the studio in various sizes, so you don't need to worry about finding the perfect outfit. Just come as you are!

Can my partner and children join? Absolutely — family shots are a wonderful addition to a maternity session and make the images even more special.

You deserve to be celebrated. Book your session today 💛

Got Questions?

FAQs

I advise booking while you're still pregnant. I only take a set number of newborn sessions per month, and your £50 deposit secures your space. Once baby arrives, I'll send you a few suitable dates — newborns are best photographed within the first 14 days.

The studio is situated in CH65, Ellesmere Port with free parking directly outside. I'm easily accessible from across Cheshire, the Wirral and Liverpool.

A £50 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking, payable via bank transfer or cash. The remaining balance for your chosen collection is paid on the day of your session.

Absolutely! For sitter and newborn sessions, parents and siblings are very welcome to join. The main focus will be on baby, but family shots are included too. The studio is warm, relaxed and has refreshments — it's a lovely experience for the whole family.

Your private hand-edited online gallery will be delivered within a few weeks of your session. You'll receive a link to view, select and download your chosen images at your leisure.
