How does the Newborn Photoshoot process work?
When it comes to having a newborn photography session with me, it’s important to remember that I take a limited number of photoshoots each month to ensure the highest quality of service. That’s why booking your session based on your due date is best, so we can secure a slot. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you understand what to expect:
- Initial Contact: Reach out to check if I’m available and to secure a slot based on your due date. Please fill in the contact form with as many details as possible to help me better understand your vision and preferences.
Photoshoots take place at our home studio located at 1 Hilltop Way, HA7 3DB, Stanmore, London.
All sessions are by appointment only and our hours are Monday through Saturday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. - Phone Consultation: We’ll get to know each other better during our phone consultation and plan your session. We’ll discuss important details such as outfit options, poses, and your preferred style, ensuring I understand precisely what you’re looking for and confirming that I’m the right photographer for you.
- Secure Your Booking: Once we’ve discussed your vision, you can secure your session with a £99 non-refundable retainer, which will be deducted from your final order.
- Choose Your Package: You can choose your preferred package during the booking process. Along with your booking confirmation, you will receive a preparation guide.
- The Photoshoot: The actual photoshoot will be scheduled after your baby’s arrival. I’ll work with you to create images that truly reflect who you are and your special bond with your baby. I’ll ensure you have a relaxed and enjoyable experience as we capture the beauty and love of this special time in your life.
- Final Payment: The remaining balance for your session is due at the end of the photoshoot. You can pay by bank transfer, card, or cash.
- Viewing Your Images: About 4-5 weeks after your photoshoot, you’ll have access to a private online gallery to view your fully edited images and select your favorites.
- Ordering Additional Products: You can purchase extra digital files, prints, and wall art separately as a la carte products:
- Additional high-resolution digital image: £30
- A detailed price list for additional products can be found on the Wall Art page.
- Delivery of Your Products: Once you’ve selected your images, you can download your digital files. Your prints and wall art will be delivered to your home within up to 3 weeks.
It’s important to note that unedited images are not included in any packages and are unavailable for purchase.
I’m passionate about helping you capture the magic of your newborn journey, and I would be honoured to work with you.

When you welcome a new life into the world, the first few days are full of love, joy, and a rush of emotions. As a professional photographer, I am passionate about capturing and preserving these memories for you to treasure forever.
When you book a newborn photo session with me, you invite me to capture the beauty and wonder of those first days of your little one’s life. I understand this is a unique and special time for you, and I am here to ensure that we create images that truly reflect the love and joy you and your baby share. The process is designed to be simple and stress-free, and I would be honoured to work with you to capture the magic of this special moment in your life.
The best time to photograph newborn babies is between 7 and 14 days. You can book your session after your 20-week scan. That’s why booking your session based on your due date is best, so we can secure a slot. If your baby has already arrived, don’t hesitate to reach out – I might still be able to find an available slot for you. Newborn sessions are booked only in the morning to ensure the best results.
The photo session typically takes between 2 and 4 hours, but I take as many breaks as needed for feeding or cuddling. Baby’s comfort and safety are my top priority, so there’s no need to rush. I’m always relaxed and ready to capture special moments.
Booking a newborn photo shoot allows you to express your preferred colours and props through a provided questionnaire. Coordinating the colours with your home decor is crucial if you plan to display a large print. A variety of soft and skin-friendly outfits and props for your baby are available for selection.
Every baby is different, and some may prefer certain poses over others. My priority is always to keep the baby calm and happy, and I will listen to their wishes. Safety is always my main concern, and I won’t try poses that could harm your baby.
I welcome and encourage parents, partners, and siblings to be part of the photo session. Capturing pictures of the entire family is essential to the experience, so remember to bring a suitable outfit for everyone. Pets are part of your family and should also be part of this special memory. I welcome and encourage you to bring your furry friends to the photo session.
While I have nappies on hand if you run out, bringing your preferred brand is always a good idea. Babies tend to eat more than usual during the session, so it’s best to be prepared.
