Family Portrait - Frequently Asked Questions











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.
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.
