Question 1

Where do the Newborn Sessions take place?

Accepted Answer

All Newborn and Newborn Mini sessions take place at my home studio in Wanniassa, ACT.

Question 2

When should I schedule my Newborn Session

Accepted Answer

Babies rarely arrive on their due date.
 
With this in mind, when you book your Newborn Session in, I put you in my calendar for your due date. When you little one arrives, email me and we will lock in a date/time for your session.

Question 3

When is it best to photograph a Newborn Baby?

Accepted Answer

The best time to photograph your little one is when he/she is between 4-12 days old. During this period Babies are still sleepy and will be more willing to be posed for photos which allows for a variety of shots.
 
If you are planning on booking a Newborn Mini session, you can stretch this time frame out by a week as bub will be wrapped for the photos and (hopefully!) should be settled.

Question 4

How long does a Newborn session take?

Accepted Answer

Newborn Session's take between 2-3 hours.
 
Newborn Mini sessions take 1.5 hours.

Question 5

What should I bring along to my Newborn photography session

Accepted Answer

Newborn sessions take between 2-3 hours, so best to be prepared. Feel free to bring along snacks/food for yourself. Make sure you pack plenty of nappies and wipes. If bub is bottle fed, pack some extra formula as they tend to feed a more often during the session.
 
If you use a dummy, bring it along! It can be a very handy tool during the photoshoot to keep bub happy.
 
I also recommend that the parents bring a change of clothes in case there are any accidents when hold bub without a nappy on.

Question 6

How many images do I receive with my Newborn session?

Accepted Answer

You receive 10 images with Newborn Mini sessions and 18 images in a Newborn session

Question 7

Do Newborn sessions include photos with siblings/parents?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Both Newborn and Newborn Mini sessions include sibling and family photos.

Question 8

How long can I expect to wait for my photos?

Accepted Answer

I try to get a preview up on social media (facebook/instagram) within approximately 48 hours after the photoshoot.
 
The remainder of the photos are ususally ready to be downloaded from my website within 2-3 weeks of the photoshoot.
