FUTURE BOOKINGS - PLEASE READ!
To keep it fair across the board, non-refundable deposits will be just that, non-refundable. A deposit will be taken to secure a date & time of your choice, if the session is cancelled by yourselves, the deposit will not be refundable. If you wish to rearrange, you will be required to pay for the session in full (including the price of new deposit) to complete your booking.
I feel that I have been beyond fair and reasonable with rearranging but I am currently at the stage where I am turning down bookings and can no longer accommodate people cancelling with less than 24 hours notice. It’s not just the session, it’s the hours of my free time, exchanging messages and arranging, time that I can’t get back.
Thank you to everyone who supports my little business. I have so so many amazing families that do turn up time after time and I am so grateful for all of you.hen should I book in for my newborn session?
If you want to capture that true newborn sleepiness I would recommend a shoot 0-3weeks old. If you are pregnant, we would book you in for your due date, Then once baby has arrived we will set the photoshoot date.
MILK DRUNK: To have a sleepy baby for our photoshoot try to keep your newborn awake for at least an hour before you arrive. If you can give your baby a feed just before coming that would be great, but please don’t worry if you can’t, we can stop for feeds at any time.
HEATING: The studio will be warm. So consider what you are wearing so that you are comfortable.
Baby needs to be nice and warm so they sleep and settle better.
NAPPY CHANGES: There’s plenty of time within our session for changes as and when they are needed.
Please don’t worry if there are any accidents, on either you or me, my blankets or bean bag, I do not mind as I have extras blankets and am very used to it!
POSES: I only do “Baby led” posing, this simply means I won’t force your baby into any position they find unnatural. I let them take the lead and I move with them to get the most organic photos. This is your session and it will be unique to you and what they want to do.
WHAT TO WEAR: Dress babies quite simply, there’s no need for an ‘outfit’ I provide these. For family & sibling photos please wear white or earthy colours ( rusts, greens, browns, beiges ), No need for socks or shoes and its bare feet.
Have your baby in loose clothing to avoid marks on their skin. Avoid outfits that need to be pulled over the baby’s head to prevent disturbing them when changing.
I have a selection of newborn outfits that we can use for the session.
CHECKLIST OF THINGS TO BRING;
Any outfits you want yourself or your family to change into
Nappy bag, with your baby’s essentials
Makeup/Hair items for touch ups
Makeup for touch-ups
Snacks/activities for older children

Your session will be individual to you and your family. Send me a message or email and we can plan your session together. I am always happy to answer any questions you might have.
You should expect a newborn session to last around 1-2 hours. Sessions with new babies can take a little longer to allow for feeds and nappy changes, but don’t worry we will take the time needed to get you some lovely shots.
All other sessions usually take around an hour.
