Newborn Photography
During a session it’s the baby that leads. I always plan in extra time in case the baby decides not to settle. The best time to photograph babies is between birth and 10 days. That’s when they still really enjoy their sleep. After this time they are more alert and they might have issues with digestion or the infamous growth spurt (I had a few 11-day olds who were taking a stretch) which is not great for settling the baby.After this time, I am still more than happy to take photos of your baby. Bear in mind though that the ‘sleep baby’ photos might not be straightforward. We might have more photos of your baby awake. It is nice to capture the curiosity of a baby at that age and it’s even nicer if we can get a real smile…

How long will the session last?
Newborn sessions are very unpredictable. The session could last anywhere from an hour and a half to up to four hours. This time is scheduled in, so there is no rush.
