What Happens During a Newborn Photography Session?
Before Your Session
We recommend booking while you’re still pregnant. Your due date is reserved in our calendar, and once your baby arrives we’ll confirm the perfect session date within the ideal newborn window. Before your visit, you’ll receive simple preparation guidance so you know exactly what to expect.
During Your Session
A newborn photoshoot at our Berwick-adjacent studio usually runs for two to four hours. Sessions are completely baby-led — we work around feeds, nappy changes and cuddles, gently capturing individual newborn portraits, family photographs, parent and baby images, and sibling photos where applicable.
After Your Session
Your images are carefully hand-edited in a soft, timeless style. You’ll then view your online gallery and select your favourites, with beautiful prints, albums and wall art available to complement your digital images.
When Should You Book Newborn Photography?
The ideal time for a newborn photoshoot is when your baby is between 5 and 14 days old, while they’re still sleepy, curled up and easy to gently pose. Because this window is so short, we encourage parents to book during pregnancy — ideally in the second or early third trimester — to secure availability around your due date.
Frequently Asked Questions
How old should my baby be?
Newborn sessions are best within the first 5–14 days after birth, though beautiful images are still possible for older babies with a more natural, relaxed style.
How long does a session take?
Most newborn sessions run for 2–4 hours, allowing plenty of time for feeding and settling so your baby is never rushed.
Do parents and siblings join?
Absolutely. Parent, family and sibling photographs are a beautiful addition to any newborn session and are always encouraged.
