Newborn

We usually schedule newborn sessions for babies under 3 weeks old — that’s when they’re at their squishy, sleepy best! After 3 weeks, it can be trickier to keep them sleepy and comfortable for poses, but don’t worry. If your baby is a little older, just get in touch and we’ll see what we can do — sometimes it still works out beautifully.

We recommend booking before your little one arrives so we can pencil in a spot around your due date. Once your baby makes their entrance, give us a call or drop us an email, and we’ll find a time that suits them. No stress if they arrive early or late — we follow their pace and make the session relaxed and enjoyable.

It’s a baby-led session and the times we give are just a guideline but not a strict-limited time slot. Sometimes we finish a little earlier, and sometimes it takes a bit longer — for example, a fussy or wide-awake baby who doesn’t want to settle can affect the length of the shoot. It all depends on how your little one is feeling that day.

Please feel free to bring snacks and drinks for yourself to enjoy while you’re here. And you can stop at any time to change a nappy, breastfeed, or just a cuddle.

We provide everything needed for your newborn’s photoshoot, including wraps, blankets, outfits, and props. However, we do recommend bringing a few essentials to keep your baby comfortable throughout the session:

• Milk/feeds – whether breast or bottle, please bring enough for the duration of the session.

• Nappies and wipes – extra supplies are always helpful.

• Pacifier (if used) – sometimes it can be useful to help settle your baby.

• Special items – if you’d like to include a personal keepsake, heirloom, or outfit, feel free to bring it along.

Otherwise, just bring yourselves—we’ll take care of the rest to ensure a relaxed and enjoyable experience.

When you book your session, we’ll pencil in a date based on your due date. This gives us a general timeframe to plan around. Since babies often arrive on their own schedule, we’ll confirm the exact session date once your little one is born.

We kindly ask that you notify us as soon as your baby arrives—adding us to your “We had the baby!” text or email works perfectly. This ensures we have enough time to arrange your session within the ideal window, which is typically within the first 7-14 days after birth.
