Newborn Session (3-4 hours)
Each session is completely baby led and will be 3-4 hours long, allowing time for feeding and settling. Sessions take place at my home studio on weekdays 10am - 2 pm.
During the session I will work with a selection of props and beanbag based setups. Images will be taken with baby wrapped and in their birthday suit (posed discreetly). Parent and sibling images can also be taken at the beginning of these sessions.
I will consult with you prior to the shoot to select your chosen colour option.
When to book
Newborns (5-14 days)
Newborn sessions can be booked before your baby arrives from your 20 week scan and after, or when they are already here. If you pre-book you will be pencilled in around your estimated due date and when your baby arrives we will book a session between 5-14 days old. If your baby is born early we will keep in touch and arrange your session depending on the progress of baby, usually around the original due date.
Older Newborns (2-4 weeks)
Babies who have gone past the early newborn stage tend to stay awake for longer (not always) and may not curl up a easy, sometimes resulting in different poses and images. Please bear this in mind when booking your session but if this is the case, beautiful images can still be taken and you may even get some stunning awake shots.
Safety
The safety of your baby is paramount and no baby will be posed or used within a prop unless they are settled and fully asleep. On occasion I will ask a parent to support a baby with me whilst I take a shot. Each baby is different and they all have their own comfy position, I will be solely guided by baby. Your baby is your most precious possession, and I always treat the baby as if they were my own.
Cleanliness
After every session the studio is disinfected thoroughly, props are wiped down, fabrics are washed. Sanitiser is always available and recommended for you to use during your session.
Throughout the session I will be wearing a mask and sanitising my hands regularly.
