Everything you need to know

All newborns have a certain look to them. Usually within a week or two, that newborn-like quality starts to disappear. The point of newborn photos is to capture that newborn look, so I always recommend photographing as early as possible.

The ideal time is at least a few weeks before giving birth, to ensure we keep time reserved for you near your due date. After your newborn arrives, we can schedule the actual time of the shoot. If you book in advance, we guarantee we will have time available for you, no matter if your baby arrives early or late.

For babies under 4 months old, I'd still recommend booking a newborn session as it allows extra time to capture sleepy poses if they fall asleep, as well as time for feeding and comforting.

Absolutely. I want to make your session as easy and streamlined as possible. I prefer to photograph in a room that is extremely well lit with natural light, so just make sure that is available. And of course, you can always come to my home studio.

Yes, we supply all props. If you have something special, please feel free to bring it along.

All of our sessions include family photos. I always encourage them but it is your choice whether to capture them as well. We can accommodate up to 6 people in total in our studio, including your immediate family.

Some of the best maternity photos are taken between the seven and eight month mark. This is when you are really showing, but not so close to your due date that you are uncomfortable.

Ultimately, what you wear depends on what you are comfortable in. That said, I recommend clothing that showcases your baby bump. Empire dresses belted under the bust and stretchy fabrics are two of my favourites. I'd avoid anything extremely loose.

Yes, I have all my vaccinations up to date. A newborn is too young to be vaccinated, so it is really important that your newborn photographer's vaccinations are current.

Of course. I will not take any photographs that you do not feel comfortable with, for maternity as well as newborn sessions. And if you are not comfortable with me sharing images on social media or my blog, I will not do so.

Every collection includes a guaranteed minimum, from 100 edited photos for the Ceremony Collection up to 600 for the Fall in Love Collection. See the pricing page for details.
