When is the best time to conduct a newborn photography session? Newborn photography is best scheduled for when your baby is between 5-15 days new. This is the time when they are most sleepy and will curl easily. They are also super sleepy in these first two weeks of life. However, we can still take ‘newborn’ photos of your baby up to 6 weeks of age, we simply adjust the poses a little bit to ensure your baby is comfortable.
When should we book-in for our newborn photography session? It is best to book in after your 12 -18 week scan. I only take a limited number of bookings per month. I know that babies rarely show up on time so the confirmed date of your Newborn Session is always done after your baby is here.
Where are you located? My photo studio is located in Aberglasslyn (Maitland) – it is fully set up for both the photo session and also for your comfort – with a newborn changing table and bathroom facilities. There is plenty of free and unlimited parking right at the front of my studio. There is also playgrounds in the area, which is great for entertaining siblings!
Do I need to bring along items for my baby? I provide all of the outfits, props, hats, headbands and wraps for your baby’s newborn photography session. I source my newborn props from all over the world, and each item is specifically design for newborn photography (to ensure it is the correct size and soft and comfortable for your baby). However, if you have any particular item that is special to you (such as a family heirloom), I am happy for you to bring these along and we can incorporate these into the photos.
Do we get to select the colours and styling for our newborn photography session?Yes! Each newborn session is styled to match YOUR taste - we will discuss your preferences for colours, props and poses so that you absolutely love the images from your newborn session.
Do you take family photos during the newborn photography shoot? Absolutely! Photos with mum, dad, and siblings are SUPER important. All of my newborn photography sessions include taking the full range of family photos.
What do we wear for our newborn photography shoot? For the photographs of Mum, Dad and siblings, your clothing should complement each other in colour tones. I recommend short sleeves, so that we can see your arms holding your newborn baby and then baby will not look like they are floating.
Do you offer digital files? Yes! All of my Photography Packages include digital files. You are able to select which Package (and the corresponding number of digital files) that best suits your budget.
How long does it take to get my gallery and final images? Proof Galleries are sent to you with in the week from your newborn session, you will select your chosen images and these images will be fully edited beautifully, editing takes 1-2 weeks depending on the amount of work load I currently have in.
