Newborn Investment
Newborn photography is one of the best ways to create everlasting memories of your baby’s first days in this world. We will photograph their curly poses, milk spots, tiny toes, fluffy hair, squishy legs, and all that is new and fresh about your little loved one. To capture the newborn stage, we work with a tiny window of opportunity.

FAQ
When should I book my newborn session?
You will need to book in your session well in advance so give me a call as soon as you know your due date. I will make a provisional booking for you and we can amend it if your baby is early or late. If your baby is already born, don’t panic! I always do my best to squeeze newborns into my schedule.
What to bring with you?
Plenty of nappies and wet wipes. If you are bottle feeding, bring plenty of feeds as babies tend to feed a bit more than usual in the sessions. If you are breastfeeding, it may help not to eat spicy or acidic foods or drink caffeine in the 48 hours prior to your session as this could possibly make the baby unsettled. Bring a couple of wrapping blankets for the baby, to keep them warm during feeds. I always suggest bringing a dummy (pacifier). Even if you are not using one sometimes they are good for settling and baby won’t get used to one as its only used for a few minutes at a time. If the little one doesn’t want to cooperate, the dummy can be a huge lifesaver and can help us get through the session. If the newborn has long hair, bring a brush. Don’t forget to bring a snack and water for yourself and any siblings. If siblings are coming, bring some entertainment for them. Because accidents happen, it is also good to bring an extra change of clothing for yourself. Feel free to bring something a bit different to your session that represents a hobby, family heirloom, something sentimental or even a favorite toy. Please let me know earlier and I will see if I can incorporate this. If not don’t worry as I have plenty of props, wraps and outfits for you to choose from. Due to the nature of the newborn session we only invite immediate family to take part in the photoshoot. Please, do not bring extended family to the shoot, only partner and baby’s siblings are allowed to come to the studio. Please keep your baby awake up to 1 hour before the session if possible. If your baby is awake when you arrive to the studio I may ask you to feed him or her before beginning the session. A full belly helps a newborn stay sleepy for their shoot. Good practice is to arrive, feed and get going with the session.
How far after baby is born should the session take place?
The best time to photograph your newborn is when your baby is between 5 – 14 days old. Newborns are very flexible and sleepy currently, have little sensitivity to touch and sound, and are very comfortable in those adorable curled-up photography poses we all adore so much. Just because the ideal time is less than 14 days doesn’t mean I can’t photograph your older baby . I also photograph older newborns up to six plus weeks, but please keep in mind that once beyond those first 14 days we might not be able to get all the sleepy and curled poses as babies are usually more awake at this age.
What to wear?
Light, earthy or pastel colors work best. Avoid black, navy blue or dark and neon colors so that your photos don't look kitsch.Avoid patterns, inscriptions and any logos.Choose your outfits carefully, try to have the entire family dressed in matching outfits so that they create one coherent image.We have a large selection of baby clothes, so you don't have to worry about it.
