FAQ
What is the best age for newborn photos?
The ideal time for newborn photography is between 6–14 days old, when babies are still sleepy and curled up. However, if your baby is older, please still feel free to enquire. Beautiful images can still be captured at any age and I’m always happy to photograph older newborns and babies.
When should I book my newborn photography session?
Most families book their newborn photography session during pregnancy, usually in the second or third trimester. This allows time to reserve space around your baby's due date.
Once your baby arrives, we simply confirm the session date within the first couple of weeks when newborns are still sleepy and curled up.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions can take place in my cosy Bishopdale studio, in your home for a lifestyle session, or outdoors at a beautiful Canterbury location.
We don’t feel very confident in front of the camera, is that ok?
Absolutely. Most families feel this way at first. My sessions are relaxed and guided so you can simply focus on enjoying time with your baby or family while I capture natural moments.
