Newborn Photo Session Guide:
Welcome to bring a warm blanket from home to wrap baby in between poses. I do however have one in studio we can use.
Dummy is essential. I cannot pose baby without one. This helps get baby back to sleep (this is extremely important as a dummy will make or break a beautiful sleepy stress-free photography session). If your against dummys please do not book a newborn session. I do have spare sertialized dummies to use if needed.
You will need to bring extra nappies and wipes as well as extra milk for baby if you are formula feeding as feeding can get them back to sleep and can comfort an unsettled baby. You will need to feed baby more often during your session.
Think earthy tones, neutral or plain coloured clothing. No stripes or patterns or logos please as these are distracting. Please dress to compliment one another. do not wear all the same colour or matching outfits. If your unsure please send me clothing options and I will help guide you in the right direction.
I have coffee and hot chocolate available for you to make yourself and we also have nappy changing and bottle making facilities.
We provide all newborn wraps, outfits, hats and headbands and accessories.
I try to suggest to not let baby have a huge sleep before your session. As you may not get the full benefit from your session.
remember it is completely normal if baby does a poop or a wee. I wash everything I use after your session!
It is likely that baby will have awake or unsettled times. this is completely normal! As I go at baby's pace and what they are comfortable with. If they become upset during posing, I stop and put them back into a normal position that they are happy in, or suggest feeding them again.
I won't ever leave baby unattended or in a pose or prop. I may ask you to support baby if I need to collect something from the studio.
Please let us know if you have had a C section or you are having difficulty moving as I am more than happy to help you out!
My Studio:
Our photography sessions take place in our warm and welcoming Gore studio. I shoot with studio lights as well as natural light. It is a calm, clean and warm environment.
My studio does get quite warm between 25-28 degrees as babies cannot regulate their own temperatures. Because I pose them naked the studio needs to be kept at a comfortable temperature for them to ensure baby can easily get back to sleep and feel happy being posed and naked. Please DO NOT take baby outside in the cold naked because you are too hot. You are welcome to take yourself outside but please keep the door shut to keep the heat in. Please dress comfortably and bring some water or snacks along to help. It's only for a short while.
Feeding Baby:
During the session there will be times when baby needs multiple feeds to help settle them back to sleep. I have a pillow available for you to use if you like.
Siblings at a Newborn Shoot:
We often take photographs of siblings and family photos first. We suggest you bring along someone to help you if you feel you need it. So afterwards we can spend the rest of the session taking beautiful sleepy photos of baby. We do have toys available for older children to keep them entertained while they wait for the session to finish.
