A newborn photography session is the perfect way to welcome your new arrival to the world and it's the most beautiful way to document all those little details that change so quickly as they grow.
Posing these tiny, precious little bundles takes time, skill, and patience and requires a warm, soothing environment to ensure your baby remains sleepy and comfortable throughout the session. Your baby's safety and comfort is my biggest priority which is why I'm fully trained and qualified in the art of newborn photography.
Family shots are included as standard. These are the images that your baby will treasure the most when they are older and you'll always have a reminder of just how small they were.
My style is simple and natural with the focus being on creating beautiful, timeless images of your baby which can be proudly displayed in your home for years to come.
I love to capture the bond between children and their new sibling, there is something very special about the bond that only siblings share. These are the images that make my heart happy.
FAQ
How much does a session cost?
My session fee is £125 and is payable at the time of booking. The fee covers the following:
- A newborn prep guide to prepare you for your session
- Up to 4 hours of studio time
- Use of props, outfits, headbands, and fabrics
- Hand retouching of your images
- In person reveal and ordering session
Are products included in the session fee?
Products are priced separately. My clients typically invest between £400-£1200 on products. Payment plans are available if you'd like to spread the cost.
When is the best time to take newborn photos?
Newborn sessions typically take place when your baby is between 5 and 16 days old and booking in advance is essential to be able to guarantee your session. However, it's still possible to get beautiful images with older babies. The full session fee must be paid at the time of booking. A date will be penciled in 7 days after your due date. Once your baby is born, we'll arrange a date and time for you to come for your shoot.
Can we include our dog?
Absolutely, dogs are part of the family and are always welcome at sessions. For safety, your dog and baby will be photographed individually and merged seamlessly together in Photoshop.
Are you trained in newborn safety?
This is such an important question and the answer is a resounding yes. Even though I've been photographing newborns for 6 years, I still invest in newborn training as often as possible. Most recently, I trained in London with the incredible Russ Jackson, one of the world's most respected newborn photography trainers.
I also hold a qualification in newborn photography from The Guild of Photographers. I am the only photographer in the Vale of Glamorgan to hold such a qualification.
Where will the session take place?
Newborn sessions take place at my beautiful, cosy studio in Barry.
