You wait months to finally hold them.
To trace their features, breathe them in, and feel the weight of them resting against your chest.
In the haze of sleepless nights and overwhelming love, these early days slip past faster than anyone warns you they will.
One moment you’re imagining what they’ll look like.
The next, you’re folding away clothes they’ve already outgrown.
Newborns are only this small for a fleeting moment.
Your session is a chance to slow time — to honour their arrival, capture their softness, and preserve the feeling of those first cuddles when they fit perfectly in your arms.
Images that allow you to remember not just how they looked…
but how it felt.

The Newborn Experience
The early days with a newborn are tender, overwhelming, and filled with a love unlike anything you’ve known before.
My role is to gently guide you through a calm, unhurried session, creating space for you to slow down, breathe, and simply be present with your baby.
Newborn sessions are ideally photographed between 7–14 days old, when babies are still very sleepy and naturally curled. That said, beautiful images can be created at any age, and each stage brings its own kind of magic.
These sessions aren’t about perfection.
They’re about connection, closeness, and capturing the fleeting details that pass far too quickly, the ones a phone can never truly hold.
Whether this is your first baby or your last, this chapter deserves to be remembered with care.
Step 1. Feed and Settle Your Baby
A well-fed baby is a sleepy, content baby. Try to keep your newborn awake for a short time before the session, then feed on arrival so they can relax into a deep, peaceful sleep.
Step 2. Dress Baby in Easy, Comfortable Clothing
Choose loose, simple clothing that is easy to remove to avoid disturbing your baby. Neutral tones photograph beautifully, and all wraps, blankets, and styling are provided.
Step 3. Keep the Day Calm and Unrushed
Avoid scheduling other appointments on the day of your session. A slow, relaxed pace helps your baby settle naturally and allows the session to flow gently.
Step 4. Bring Only the Essentials
Pack nappies, wipes, milk if bottle-feeding, and a dummy if your baby uses one. Everything else is taken care of in the studio for your comfort.
Step 5. Relax and Trust the Process
Newborn sessions are led by your baby. Breaks for feeding, cuddles, and settling are always welcome. Simply relax and enjoy this quiet moment, these early days pass so quickly.
Bonus Tip: Bring along any props or sentimental items you’d like included in your photos, like a blanket, heirloom toy, or family keepsake.

FAQ
It’s best to book during your pregnancy to secure a spot in my calendar. Newborn sessions are ideally photographed between 7–14 days old, however beautiful sessions can be created at any stage, even if your baby is a little older.
Yes, absolutely. Parents and siblings are always welcome to be part of the session. I’ll gently guide everyone into natural, relaxed poses so the focus stays on connection and closeness.
Newborn sessions are unhurried and typically last between 2–3 hours. This allows plenty of time for feeding, settling, cuddles, and breaks, ensuring a calm experience for both you and your baby.
I have some neutral wraps, blankets you are welcome to use. You’ll just need to bring nappies, wipes, milk if bottle-feeding, and a dummy if your baby uses one. I do recommend the dummy, even if your baby has never used one before, this can be so helpful during the session.
That’s completely okay. Every baby is different, and sessions are led by your baby’s needs. Awake moments can be just as beautiful, and there’s always time to pause, settle, and reset.
