Newborn Photography

Service Description

This package is for newborn babies that are between 4 and 10 days after birth. This ensures they are sleeping for most of the time for the session. I take a combination of posed photos with some blankets etc (or you can bring your own) and the more natural lifestyle photos. I also encourage mums, dads and siblings to join in with newborn photos too. I will come to your house for this and the shoot can take between 1 and 3 hours, depending on your baby. Occasionally it will take a little longer as some babies are very peaceful and love to sleep, whilst others are not as willing to do a photo shoot. Either way, we'll keep going until we get those perfect shots. If you book a newborn photo shoot, I will call you a week before the shoot to talk it through and let you know what to expect and what we can all do to ensure a smooth session. For example, what to do if the baby has a smelly accident during the shoot (FYI... nothing, we just clean up and carry on as it happens more than you think.) The cost of a newborn photo shoot is higher than other shoots as they generally take longer to do on the day, but mainly because the post production takes a lot of time. I do a lot of enhancements to fix flaky skin, remove scratches and marks, and alter colours when needed. After the photo session, I will edit the images and provide them to you via a password protected online gallery which you can then download the images from.
