Newborn Photography FAQs
When should I book my newborn photography session?
I recommend booking your newborn session during your second trimester. This gives us time to plan around your due date without any added stress. Newborn sessions typically take place within the first 7–14 days after birth, when babies tend to be sleepiest and most comfortable. If you are after those days DON’T worry, we can still make beautiful images up until 5-6 weeks during the newborn stage.
What if my baby doesn’t sleep during the session?
That’s completely okay. Not every baby sleeps the whole time, and there’s no pressure for them to do so. Awake moments, stretches, and tiny expressions are just as meaningful. Sessions are baby-led, and we take breaks whenever your baby needs them. The session is also not timed, we are not in a race!
Where do newborn photography sessions take place?
All newborn sessions take place in my studio, which is set up specifically for newborn photography. It’s warm, quiet, and intentionally simple so you and your baby can stay comfortable and relaxed.
How long does a newborn photography session last?
Newborn sessions are never rushed and typically last 2–3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and taking breaks as needed. Your baby sets the pace.
What should we bring to our newborn session?
Just bring your baby and the essentials you’d normally pack when leaving the house. I provide simple wraps and styling for your newborn. If there’s something meaningful you’d like to include, you’re always welcome to bring it along. It is better to bring it and not use it than wish you had it.
Is newborn photography safe?
Yes. Your baby’s safety is always my top priority. I use gentle, natural posing and never force a position. Everything is done slowly and with your baby’s comfort in mind.
Can parents or siblings be included in newborn sessions?
Absolutely. Parents and siblings are welcome if you’d like them included. I keep these moments simple and natural so they feel connected and timeless.
