I recommend booking your photography session whenever you're ready to go ahead; we can discuss all the details and arrange an appropriate time. Sessions do fill up quickly towards the summer months, so don't leave it last minute. Around 2-3 months in advance will give users enough time to arrange a cool location and sort out some super cute outfits.

It may get very warm during sessions so that babies are cosy while naked. I would suggest wearing layers in case you get too hot and where possible, choose neutral-coloured outfits with no pattern. Therefore the main focus isn’t taken away from your baby. Note: I willl send you a prep guide to help with this.

You can book a lifestyle session for your family whenever you like, there is no age restriction for this session.

I would however book a month in advance so we have time plan your session and make sure everyone feels ready.

A lifestyle session is all bout capturing you and your family in there natural environment. We’ll have a pre-session consultation to go over what daily activities you would like to plan for your lifestyle session. We will also go over any questions you have.

I suggest getting in touch after your 20-week scan, sessions are best held around the 34-36 week mark when your bump is showing beautifully.

As long as you and your baby are in good health and are passed the 20-week you can go right ahead and book your newborn baby photography session.

I recommend booking at this early date as it gives you time to think about and prepare for professional photography. I make tentative bookings that are based on your due date and arrival home with your bundle of joy so you don’t have to worry if there need to be changes or adjustments to our sessions. Whenever you’re ready to go ahead, we can discuss all the details and arrange an appropriate day for your little one’s time in the spotlight.

As a general rule of thumb, I like to schedule the cake smash session 3-4 weeks prior to their birthday. If you are using the pictures for invitations or to decorate with at the party this will give us plenty of time to find a great day that works well for both of us and to have enough time to get the pictures back in time before your little one’s birthday.

Ideally, it's good to book a session when your baby can sit unaided.

Newborn photography sessions are best undertaken in the first three weeks of there arrival. This is beacuse baby is still accustomed to the womb position and still sleep alot. Although this is only a guideline. Newborns can be photographed at any time, even when awake. It just means the final out come of your images maybe different.

If your little one is a preemie they’re in good hands, as although I would attempt to photograph them before the three-week mark, it will largely depend on weight and health.

I may suggest we reschedule for a later date.This is to ensure you are both as comfortable as possible. I will never turn away and older new born so please get in touch .Newborn sessions are around three hours long.

We can discuss a location for your session, I have a couple of favourite spots, but I am open to travelling to a place that is special to you. A place with lots of foliage or flowers make interesting backdrops, but I am also happy to go urban too.

We will discuss at the time of booking about styling and choosing what to wear, I will send you a style guide and also you are welcome to use any outfits from my small client wardrobe.

I come to your home, with me I will bring a fully functioning studio set up will all the equipment needed.

Each session is uniquely styled for your baby, through the use of props, blankets and head wear. Each setup is created to reflect your colour preferences, creating timeless images for you to treasure. I will bring all this with me on the day. So you can sit back and relax.

This part is easy, as many of the items used during sessions are everyday items your baby uses or plays with. For example, your sweetheart’s first teddy, blanket etc, are very welcome at the session and I will try my best to incorporate them in the photos.

We will have a general chat either by email or phone about your colour preferences and creative needs. Please let me know at this point if you have any requests.

Sessions can last up to 60 minutes. These sessions are a lot more energetic. I never want to force children to smile. I hope to photograph them naturally.

Kids will be kids and they will pull those funny faces but I say let’s embrace them and have some fun! However, if they’re really not happy, don’t panic. Little people are unpredictable, and we can re-schedule at no extra cost. Please feel free to arrange a change of outfit for everyone involved and keep outfits simple, solid colours with no logos. Children will be photographed with bare feet, so avoid tights if possible.

I’m happy to take shots with mum and dad too along with siblings, however, this may take extra time so please allow for this.

A session can take place in your home or at a special local place that has meaning to you.

Each session is uniquely designed for you and your family. Its great to plan an activity you can do at home that will enage your children. Such as baking or painting.

For newborns or young babies the session is really relaxed, I come and capture you spending time with your new baby.

For cake smash sessions, I will require enough space to set up. I will need a hard floor, so a kitchen or dining room works well. Space permitting. I will ask to send me a snapshot of your space upon booking to make sure we can go ahead.

If I feel space will not work, I can hire a studio space for a couple of hours at a very small charge.

We will discuss together what time is best to hold your session, it is best to work around your litlle ones naps and feeds so they are feeling their best.

Newborn photography sessions are best in the first three weeks of the babies life. The reason for this is pretty cute as the baby is still accustomed to the womb position. This can result in adorable baby portraits you won’t be able to get enough of. Newborn sessions are up to three hours long, this is so we can take breaks if baby need too.

However, I will never turn away an older baby for a newborn for a session. I am very experienced in photographing older babies and can still create wonderful images for you, please still get in touch.

I like to book outdoor sessions, so they start about an hour before sunset. The light is beautiful at this time as it all golden and pretty. However, the sunset does change throughout the year, so start time depends on the date of your session. I like to keep the session fun and fast-paced, so children don't get bored and lose interest, I will try to keep the photography time to around 1 hour, but please arrive 15 minutes early.

During booking, I will find out your colour preferences and the style you want for the session. I will also explain how to prepare both you and your baby for the upcoming shoot. I will send out a prepguide to clarify what colour palette will work best in your home.

Yes, of course, partners and children are more than welcome to be photographed at no extra cost. Also, if you are just having the photographs taken on your own, please feel free to bring along a friend or family member for support.

At least four outfits for the cake smash session is a good number to sort out. I like to always have at least two for variety's sake. You will need at least one outfit for the before the cake pictures. If you don’t want them to get cake all over that outfit you will need a separate outfit for them to wear while they are eating their cake. I always recommend bringing a backup outfit in case of any accidents and they need to change. You will need an outfit for them to wear once they are all cleaned up and the session is finished.

This part is easy, as many of the items used during sessions are everyday items your baby uses or plays with. For example, your sweetheart’s first teddy, blanket etc, are very welcome at the session and I will try my best to incorporate them in the photos.

Other items to think about if we are shooting on location:

– Plenty of nappies

– Bottles and milk (if bottle-fed)

– Dummy/ Pacifier ( I recommend bringing one even if your baby doesn’t generally use them, just in case we can’t calm your baby with other methods. However, don’t worry about it if you’d rather not use one)

I use white noise which reminds babies of their time in the womb so this is not generally an issue and helps with settling the baby down. To relax older children I will allow them to play and ease into the session. Although rare, if your baby just doesn’t feel like sleeping or older child does not calm down, we can simply reschedule for another time at no extra cost.

YES! of course. A location that has meaning to you always works well for a session, if your not sure I can recommend some places that work well for sessions too.

I would totally encourage you to have one to two family pictures, however, this session is designed to concentrate on the baby.

If you have a number of siblings and parents/grandparents to photograph this session isn’t for you Go check out my family session.

Sessions begin at 10 am and lasts up to 3 hours per shoot. With newborn photography sessions, not only are you getting a photographer who devotes quality time and energy to each project, but there is plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, nappy changes, as well as changes of props and blankets.

Please don't panic if the sun isn't shining, families often worry when its cloudy or overcast that the weather is bad for photos. Over cast is actually perfect for flattering light on faces, the last thing we want is harsh, dramatic shadows all over the place. We will, however, keep our eyes on the forecast if there's a high chance of rain. In this instance, we will try and reschedule for another time.

My biggest piece of advice is to choose something that coordinates well with the colours or the theme that you picked out. My second piece of advice is for you to choose cute accessories that match the outfit. I do have some outs that you are welcome to use during your session.

While I do not edit and/or share every image from our session, I do strive to deliver the best photo(s) of each pose.

Raw files or unedited images will not be given out. Only fully edited images are available to clients. (Please don't ask)

I will bring with me a selection of props and outfits for baby to be photographed in either on location or on the photography backdrop in your home depending on what session you chose to go with. However, I like to start the session photographing baby in their own clothes, so I recommend organising an outfit or two. Things to consider when choosing what to wear are making sure that the outfit is coordinated and doesn’t clash, will it look nice long the decor you have in your home? I would try and avoid clothing that has large prints, checkered patterns or obvious logos.

It’s a good idea to try and work out your outfits a least a week before your babies photography session, this will help you to feel prepared for your session. I suggest laying them out on a bed and taking a step back. If your happy make sure they are clean and wrinkle-free.

Only fully edited images are available for clients. Raw files & unedited images will not be available, this is not negotiable

Raw files are basically a file of information and data that has not yet been processed. I shoot in Raw format so that as a photographer I have complete control over the final image. A program is required to process the images.
