NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY


Don’t miss out on capturing your newborn baby in all their innocence and capturing the sibling relationships and interactions - whether that be your fur babies or your older babies. It is so incredibly important & far more meaningful to capture the love, individual relationships and real emotions. And of course, those special and unique moments that you share with your growing family.

With my newborn sessions, I advise you to take into consideration:

  1.  It is best to schedule your session for some time within your baby’s first two weeks. So, we can get all those sleepy photos, and your baby will be easier to pose.

  2. To book for a minimum of 2 hours, allowing plenty of time for feeding, settling and changes.  If your little one needs an extra top-up or settling during your session, it is completely normal, actually expected. I am incredibly patient and flexible, so please do not worry.
