When to book

The best time for newborn photos

We recommend booking while you are still pregnant so we can reserve space around your due date. Most posed newborn sessions are photographed within the first 5–14 days, while your baby is still naturally sleepy and beautifully curled.

01

Book while pregnant

Reserve your newborn session early so we can hold space around your due date and adjust the exact date once baby arrives.

02

Photograph in the first 2 weeks

This is usually the easiest window for sleepy, curled-up newborn portraits and classic wrapped images.

03

Flexible if baby is older

If your baby has already arrived, still get in touch. We can often create beautiful newborn-style portraits a little later too.

What’s included

Everything you need for a relaxed newborn photography session

We’ve designed our newborn photography experience to feel easy for new parents. You do not need to bring props or plan every detail — we guide you through it.

Studio styling

We provide wraps, textures, soft layers, bowls, beds and carefully chosen newborn props.

Parent & sibling portraits

We include family photographs so your newborn gallery tells the full story of this season.

Baby-led pacing

Feeds, settling and cuddles are all part of the process. We work around your baby, not against them.

After your shoot, we help you choose the images and finished pieces that suit your home and family best.

Newborn photography FAQs

What if my baby cries or needs feeding?

That is completely normal. Newborn sessions are built around your baby’s needs, with time for settling, cuddles and feeds.

Do I need to bring wraps or props?

No — we provide the styling pieces used during the session, including wraps, layers and carefully chosen newborn props.

Can siblings be included?

Yes. We love including siblings and parents so your newborn gallery feels complete and meaningful.

If you’re expecting, the best time to enquire is before baby arrives so we can reserve space around your due date.
