FAQs
When should I book?
Ideally within the first 2 weeks after birth.
What should my baby wear?
We will provide a simple, soft outfit that photographs beautifully.
All you need to do is bring your baby well-fed and comfortable. If your baby needs to eat during the session, we will pause — there is no rush.
If you have a pacifier, feel free to bring it, even if it’s not regularly used.
Can I be in the photos?
Yes — this can be added.
What if my baby is unsettled?
We work gently and patiently. There is no pressure.
Where will the session take place?
Sessions take place in your home, allowing your baby to remain comfortable in a familiar environment.
