WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY NEWBORN SHOOT?
Your newborn is best photographed between 5 and 10 days of age so booking in with me while you are still pregnant is crucial. I will book you in 7 days from your due date and once your baby arrives we can move your shoot accordingly so your baby is around 10 days of age when you come in for your shoot.
If your baby has already arrived then please contact me asap, every day counts.
I can still capture the “newborn” look up to the age of 4 weeks, but after 10 days of age your baby will start to change, be more alert, some poses will then be too uncomfortable for your baby and they will not stay asleep and curled up like a 5 to 10 day old will. Please don’t hesitate to book in if your baby is already older then 10 days of age but just remember your baby is growing fast and you will need to contact me as soon as possible.
The session usually takes about 3 hours and results in 20 to 30 professional images for you to choose from. The 3 hours allows ample time for the feeding and settling of your baby, allowing us to take those stunning sleeping images. All newborn sessions are photographed in our fully equipped studio where we can take advantage of the wonderful natural light and our assortment of wraps, props and backdrops. Once you have booked in with me I will send you an email with what to bring about a week before your shoot.
We require a $100 non-refundable deposit to secure your newborn shoot. This deposit can be moved to a different date.
Gift vouchers of any value can be purchased and are valid for 12 months and can be used to purchase any photography product. They make the ideal present for either a baby shower (where the mum-to-be can choose whether she wants to have some pregnancy photos done or wait and have newborn photos done instead) or for when the baby arrives!
These are also great ideas for Mothers day, Christmas presents or any occasion.
