Questions
Why should I book a newborn photoshoot before my baby is born?
Booking pre-birth guarantees availability during the critical first 14 days when babies are most poseable. This ensures we capture those fleeting early moments while maintaining flexibility for early or late arrivals.

Our photographers hold Level Three Paediatric First Aid qualifications and undergo specialist posing training. We use professional techniques with constant supervision, never leaving babies unattended during sessions.

We provide all necessary props and outfits. Parents should bring feeding supplies, nappies, and any special items they wish to include in the photographs for personalisation.

Sessions typically take 2-3 hours to accommodate feeding breaks and settling time. This ensures baby remains comfortable while we capture a variety of poses and compositions at their own pace.
