New Born Photography
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Each session follows a calm, structured flow designed around your baby’s comfort and attention span.
We begin with close-up baby portraits on a fully padded, comfortable setup using soft, controlled lighting. This allows us to capture beautiful details while your baby is settled and relaxed.
We then move into guided family portraits — mum and baby, dad and baby, and everyone together. Posing and positioning are directed throughout so nothing feels awkward or rushed.
This structure keeps the session efficient, calm, and predictable for both parents and baby.
-
Yes. Every part of the session is fully guided — where to stand, how to hold baby, where to place hands, posture, angles, and expression.
Parents never need to guess what to do. This removes pressure and allows you to stay focused on your baby rather than the camera.
-
That’s completely normal and expected. The session allows time for feeding, changing, cuddles, and settling as needed.
Because the shoot is structured and paced, we can pause and resume smoothly without losing momentum or image quality.
-
Yes. The close-up portion uses a fully padded, stable surface with controlled lighting and constant supervision. Safety and comfort are always prioritised over speed or styling.
-
Most baby sessions run between 60–90 minutes, allowing time for settling, outfit changes if desired, and multiple setups without rushing.
-
Neutral tones, soft colours, and simple textures photograph best. Avoid heavy logos, bold patterns, or high-contrast graphics.
Coordinating colours (not matching exactly) creates a clean, timeless look in family portraits.
You’re welcome to send outfit photos in advance if you’d like guidance.
-
Yes. Sibling images can be included depending on age and attention span. We schedule sibling photos early in the session while energy is highest.
-
After the session, you’ll receive a private online gallery where you select your preferred images for final editing.
Guidance can be provided if you’d like help narrowing your selections.
-
Final edited images are typically delivered within 5 working days to 1 week after selection.
