How it works
Newborn
A baby changes so much throughout their first year. It’s hard to truly express how quickly a newborn becomes a toddler until you’ve experienced it. It’s only then you realize how truly fleeting this precious time is. Preserve these precious moments through beautiful photographs that you will cherish for years to come.
When To Book
We recommend contacting us well in advance and booking the newborn portrait sessions a week after the due date, we will then re-schedule if necessary based on the actual arrival date of the baby so that your session takes place between 3-15 days after delivery. We recommend this time for you newborn session as a baby is extremely sleepy in their first few days of life and their sleep is very deep allowing them to easily be positioned.
How Long Is A Session?
We need to work around your newborn so allow for anywhere from 2-3 hours for your session. This will allowing plenty of time for various poses with a selection of beautiful props, and of course for feeding, changing and cuddling.
Who Can I Bring To A Session?
This session is all about your baby, parents and siblings are of course needed shall you want family pictures. We advise to avoid inviting more friends or family members as this tends to perturb the newborn and therefore the photo session.
How Should I Prepare For My Session?
Our private studio is a comfortable environment for you to nurse, feed or change your baby as necessary. That being said it is advised to feed the baby 1 hour before the photo session to ensure maximum sleeping time for the baby. Please bring any special items you’d like in the photos such as a special blanket or hat from grandparents etc.
Maternity
Whether you feel the pregnancy glow or not a professional can make you feel and look like you do. This is the time to preserve these moments through beautiful photographs that you will cherish for years to come.
When To Book
Your maternity session should ideally be booked between 28-34 weeks. This is a time where most women have a nice large bump but haven’t gotten so big that it’s uncomfortable to move.
Indoor Or Outdoor?
It’s up to you. Your session should reflect you and your personality. A phone consultation is included in every session so we can determine together the look and feel you want in your images.
How Long Is A Session?
A session can be anywhere from 30mins to an hour depending on how you’re feeling.
Who Can I Bring To A Session?
This session can be all about you if you like or you’re also welcome to bring your significant other and any other children you have. Please allow for up to 90 minutes for your session if there are 3 or more of you.
How Should I Prepare For My Session?
- If you plan on barring just your belly avoid tight fitting clothing and accessories like watches and bracelets at least two hours before your session so they don’t leave any visible marks on your skin.
- It’s a good idea to also make sure your nails are polished, whether you go for a manicure or keep them natural.
- Clothing should be fitted and accentuate the bust line and belly. Form fitting clothes with a little stretch will really compliment your figure. I can propose you different dresses and your welcome to bring in 2-3 outfits and we can decide together what works best.
