Your Newborn Photoshoot Questions Answered
Find answers to common questions about preparing for your newborn’s photoshoot.
When is the best time to schedule a newborn photoshoot?
The ideal time for a newborn photoshoot is within the first two weeks after birth because babies are still very sleepy and flexible and can be easily posed.
How long does a newborn photoshoot typically last?
Newborn sessions with me usually last between 2 to 4 hours to allow for plenty of time for feeding/changing your baby as well as the posing aspect too.
What should I bring to the photoshoot?
We recommend bringing lots of nappies, wipes, and any special outfits or props you’d like to include in the session. You may need extra milk for baby due to the nature of the photoshoot. The room can be warm so baby may need more milk than normal.
Can siblings and parents be included in the photoshoot?
Absolutely! We encourage family members to join in and capture those precious family moments.
What should my baby wear for the photoshoot?
Bring baby in a button down sleepsuit so it’s easy to remove if baby is asleep when you get here. I have a cupboard full of outfits and wraps for baby so only bring extra outfits if you have something specific in mind.
Do you offer in-home newborn photoshoots?
This isn’t necessarily something I am offering currently, however please do get in touch to see how I can best help you.
What if my baby is fussy during the session?
Don’t worry! We take breaks as needed to ensure your baby is comfortable and happy throughout the session.
How soon will we receive our photos after the session?
Your gallery viewing session will be booked in within 2-3 weeks following our session together. This is where you come to view your images and design any wall art together.
What safety measures are in place during the photoshoot?
I am fully trained in safe newborn posing and hold full insurance too. I am first aid trained and keep up to date with training throughout the year.
We take breaks for baby and you too. If baby has any medical issues, please do discuss these with me prior to our session together.
