Frequently asked Questions.
When Should I Book My Newborn Session?
The best time to book your newborn session is after your 20 week scan but it is never to early to get in the diary.
Your actual session date will be within the first 10 to 21 days post birth it is important to tell me when they arrive though so I can plan baby sitters for my own little ones too.
As babies are unpredictable, your estimated due date goes into my diary so I know when roughly to expect your little arrival.
Once he/she arrives into the world and all is well get your partner or yourself to drop me a message as soon as possible and we can look at the available dates in the diary, more often these days will be a as those are days my own children have childcare but other arrangements can be made for them if another day is preferred.

Why Book With Me?
Booking with me is investing in your families memories.
You babies do not stay small for long and I want to capture all those tiny wee moments that will last you a lifetime and longer.
I invest in the work I do, safely posing and handling babies is not easy which is why it is always important to look for when booking a photographer.
Has your chosen photographer had any hands on safe training?
It is a question that is often missed that you should be asking. At such an early stage your baby is precious.
My studio is a clean safe environment - Especially with the current covid situation you can be confident coming to me that I clean down all surfaces, props etc.
There is masks and hand sanitizer available.
Due to restrictions it is currently one household per session please get in touch with me if you have questions.
I personally have had hands on training with the amazing Cass Davies and Emma Jane both award winning photographers with fantastic training courses as well as Natasha Ince for Maternity and continue online training too.
Hands on I think is more important in learning what we do because anyone can watch a youtube video and claim to be a professional these days.
These three women took my work to a new level and helped me learn that photography is not about popping a baby down and clicking a camera.
Its about seeing what others might not and freezing that moment and I absolutely love creating digital art files. When I set up my lighting in my head while shooting I am often already thinking ahead to editing and what works with that pose.

How Long Do Sessions Take?
Well that depends on your baby. Some take 2 hours and some take 4 hours.
This is due to feeds, outfit changes and set changes.

Can I Bring My Other Kids & Have Family Photos Too?
Yes you can but please let me know when booking because if you have kids in school I will need be make sure I have weekend availability. Weekends are like gold dust as I don't work every weekend due to having my own children and try to keep newborn sessions during the week to allow my weekends with my own family and for Family Sessions.
What Should We Wear?
For your new baby I have a variety of wraps and outfits to suit and fit your newborn for our session.
The rest of the family will need outfits though.
My maternity outfits can also be worn by mumma's too for family sessions but start by creating a mood board of colours.
Think of the room that your images will be displayed what colours go best.
Sunday Best?
If you were going to a celebration what would you wear?
Matching tones that go with each other and compliment each other.
No harsh patterns or logos that distract from purpose of the shoot - To capture your family.
Many choose plain colours White Creams, Black tops, Jeans or dresses and smart shirts/tops.
Pinterest is great for mood boards to give you colour inspiration.
