Frequently Asked Questions

The ideal time to photograph newborns is between 5–14 days old, while they’re still sleepy and curled up. I recommend booking after your 20-week scan to ensure availability. If baby has already arrived — get in touch! I’ll always try to fit you in.

Please don’t worry — babies cry, feed, wriggle and poo. That’s all totally normal here! Sessions are baby-led and flexible, with plenty of time for cuddles, changes and breaks. I’ll gently guide the session to work around your baby’s needs.

Typically, Signature newborn sessions can last anywhere between 1.5 and 2.5 hours, depending on how relaxed and settled your baby is. Please don’t worry, this is just a guide and I will always work at your baby’s pace.

Absolutely – and I actively encourage it! These first family portraits are incredibly special. I’ll guide you all into natural, flattering poses you’ll love to look back on.

Just yourselves and your baby. The studio is fully equipped with nappies, water wipes, eco nappy cream, refreshments, and cosy blankets. I’ve got everything covered — including a carefully selected collection of props and wraps.

No problem. When you book, I reserve a flexible window around your due date. Once baby arrives, just let me know and we’ll confirm a suitable time based on their actual birth date.

Not at all. You’ll never be pushed to purchase anything you don’t love. During your gallery viewing I’ll guide you through the options and answer any questions – but the final decision is always yours.
