Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to book a newborn session?
It's best to book during pregnancy to ensure availability around your due date. Once baby arrives, we'll confirm the perfect session date.
How old should my baby be?
Newborn sessions are ideally photographed within the first three weeks after birth, however I happily photograph babies up to 12 weeks old with a more natural, baby-led approach.
Can parents and siblings be included?
Absolutely. Family photographs are one of the most meaningful parts of your session, and partners, siblings, grandparents and furbabies are warmly encouraged to be involved.
Do I need to bring anything?
Simply bring your baby, nappies, bottles if required and a dummy if you use one. Wraps, blankets, props and styling are all provided for your session.
What should we wear?
Neutral, timeless clothing photographs beautifully. I provide styling guidance before your session and have a small client wardrobe available for mums and babies.
Can I choose between studio and in-home sessions?
Yes. You can choose a natural light studio session in Shotover Country or a relaxed lifestyle session in the comfort of your own home.
How long does a newborn session take?
Every baby is different, so sessions are completely baby-led and allow plenty of time for feeding, cuddles and settling. Most sessions take around 1.5–2 hours.
