When you are ready and at your pace, capturing these early days to keep forever.
Sessions last up to 2 hours in your home and they are entirely baby led. I fit around your schedule which enables me to take a documentary style approach to frame the love and connection in the best possible light.
Questions I am often asked;
How soon after birth should we have the session ?
As soon as you feel ready and up to it is my advice, which is different for everyone. If you feel good it will come through in your photographs.
What do we need to do to prepare ?
Nothing ! Just wear something that makes you feel good and is comfortable and maybe turn the heating up so everyone is nice and cosy!
My house is too messy for a photo shoot
Your house is a home and you have just had a baby ! Do not worry about tidying beforehand, we will find the best spots to work in using as much natural light as we can find.
We don't want to be in the photographs
Having had three children of my own, I really sympathise with this. I know only too well what life is like after birth and I can totally relate to not wanting to be in a photo shoot! I can not emphasise enough how precious it will be to look back at photographs of your newborn baby held in your arms though. These images are of your child, for your child, to show the profound love they were born into. Try to think of this as an incredibly significant moment in your lives - an authentic documentary of these days. In years to come the little details like baby weight, unbrushed hair or drool on your shoulder will be inconsequential, you will only care about being transported back to the feelings of the time and the wonder and joy of getting to know your newborn.
We have other children / pets can they be included ?
Absolutely ! This is the beauty of having newborn sessions at home, so we capture how your family looks.
What should we dress the baby in ?
Neutrals and unfussy clothes have a timeless appeal but whatever you want and you can change outfits too. If you have special blankets or gifts that you have been given keep them to hand so we can work them into the photographs also.
What will the session entail ?
I take your lead. Happy to follow your schedule and capture naturally unfolding moments or alternately we can plan a mixture of shots to suit you.
How do we see the photographs?
7-21 days after our session I will provide you with a private gallery of hand edited high resolution digital images to view and to select the ones you wish to keep. Once you have decided, a print ready gallery will be made available for you to download. You can share your gallery with friends and family if you wish.
How much does the session cost ?
My sessions are £175.00 for 2 hours with 15 digital high resolution images to choose from. You can purchase additional images from the gallery provided, but there is no expectation for you to do so.
Can we purchase a newborn session as a gift to the family ?
Yes ! It makes the perfect gift. Should you choose to gift a session I will make contact with the new parents and work with them to find a day that works best for them.
