Questions
When should I book a newborn photography session?
Ideally during pregnancy (20-30 weeks) to secure your due date. Sessions work best between 7-21 days after birth when babies are still naturally sleepy and flexible.
Do you provide outfits for newborn sessions?
Yes, we offer a selection of soft wraps and blankets for newborns, plus maternity dresses for expectant mothers to use during their photography session in our studio.
What happens if my baby becomes unsettled during the shoot?
Our baby-led approach means we follow your newborn's rhythm. With years of experience, we patiently work around their needs, taking breaks as required to ensure their comfort and safety.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept card payments, cash, and bank transfers. Payment plans are available, with 50% deposits accepted for wall art purchases during viewing appointments.
Can siblings join newborn photography sessions?
While our standard newborn sessions focus on individual babies, we can arrange sibling or family combinations. Please contact us to discuss custom session options for multiple children.
How long does it take to receive finished photographs?
Digital images are delivered within 7 days of your session. Printed products and gift items typically take 2-4 weeks for production and delivery after ordering.
