The best time to book your newborn photography session is during your pregnancy to secure your spot. I recommend scheduling the session when your baby is between 7-10 days old, as this is the perfect time to capture their tiny, delicate features while they’re still very sleepy.
Newborn sessions typically last 3-4 hours. This ensures we have plenty of time for feeding, changing, and settling your baby between shots. My studio in Anna Valley near Andover, is a peaceful space designed for both baby and parents to feel relaxed throughout the session.
You’ll need to bring essentials such as nappies, milk (if bottle-feeding), and a nappy. I provide a variety of props, wraps, and outfits for your baby, but if you have any personal items or outfits you’d like to include, feel free to bring them along.
It’s completely normal for newborns to need some extra time to settle. As a professional newborn photographer near Stockbridge, I’m experienced in soothing babies and creating a calm environment. We’ll take as many breaks as necessary to ensure your baby is comfortable and ready for their close-up.
Yes, I encourage parents and siblings to join in on the newborn photoshoot. These family portraits beautifully capture the special bond with your newest addition and create lasting memories for everyone.
To help your baby stay relaxed and sleepy during the session, just follow your normal routine. Dress them in easy-to-remove clothing so we can transition smoothly into the session’s cozy wraps or outfits.
Around one week after your photoshoot, you’ll receive an invitation to your Viewing Session, where you will see a slideshow of your edited gallery. I carefully select and edit the best images to give you a stunning collection that perfectly captures the magic of your newborn’s first days.
Your baby’s safety is my top priority. I’m trained in newborn posing and handling, ensuring every pose is safe and comfortable. My studio near Stockbridge is also kept clean and sanitized, and I take all necessary precautions to create a safe environment for your baby’s session.
