Newborns are my passion - I make it no secret that they are absolutely my favourite subject to capture.

I love every single ounce of what makes a newborn so special . The little fingers and toes, the wispy hair, the new skin, and the little belly button.... everything that is beautifully unique and special about your tiny baby. This is such a unique and special phase in their little life - their first few weeks so pure and innocent. I encourage newborn sessions to take place at my studio where I know the lighting and can have everything set up in advance. However I do realise this can be a very overwhelming period for new parents. If you are not ready to fly from the nest, special arrangements can be made.

The Perfect Age

All of my newborns are photographed around one week of age (ideally between days 6-10) in order to get the very best out of your images and to achieve the results you see in my portfolio. Sessions run smoother and a much wider of variety of poses (which often mimick positions held in-utero) are achieved at this young age. At this age, babies remain very sleepy and are not as easily disturbed while dreaming, and their skin is usually clear. As newborns get older (10 days+) they tend to have longer awake periods, be disturbed more easily and become more challenging to settle. Any parent will tell you how quickly your little ones will grow in those first few weeks, so it's absolutely essential that we capture them as early as we can.

Session Duration

I always take my time with newborns. I will never rush a session and take as much time as we need, allowing your baby to be my guide. Newborn sessions can typically therefore take 3-4 hours to complete - I want you to feel completely relaxed and enjoy every moment of your session without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

When to Book

Please book your session as soon as you can and while you are pregnant. It is never too early to book a newborn session. If you are given an induction or c-section date, the actual session date can be booked in advance. If you are letting baby decide, your due date will be noted and arrangements will be made as soon as baby arrives. As I typically book up months in advance, please book in early to avoid disappointment.

Once you have booked your session with me I will email you detailed information with everything you need to know about your session. I will also email you a questionnaire which will help me to better understand what you would like to achieve out of our session together.
