As a portrait photographer, I specialise in making these fleeting moments last forever. Here’s why a Bump to Baby photoshoot is something you’ll cherish for years to come:
1. Celebrate Your Pregnancy Journey
Pregnancy is a beautiful, transformative time, and a maternity photoshoot gives you the opportunity to celebrate your growing bump and the excitement of welcoming a new life. Whether you choose to pose in a luxurious gown or simply let your natural beauty shine, maternity photos are all about capturing the glow and the love that fills this special time.
2. Capture the Innocence of Your Newborn
Newborns change so quickly, and within just a few weeks, they’re no longer that tiny bundle you held in your arms. The Bump to Baby package includes a complimentary newborn session where we’ll focus on capturing your baby’s delicate features, sleepy moments, and the pure love between parent and child.
3. The Bond Between You and Your Baby
A Bump to Baby session is a wonderful opportunity to highlight the bond between you and your baby, from the anticipation in your maternity shoot to the tender moments with your newborn. These photos are more than just pictures; they’re keepsakes of love, connection, and a new chapter in your family’s story.
4. A Stress-Free, All-Inclusive Experience
I offer an all-inclusive photoshoot experience, from designing the perfect session to providing luxury gowns and a professional makeup artist. You can rest easy knowing every detail is taken care of, ensuring you feel pampered and at ease throughout the process. There are no hidden costs, and you’ll leave with beautiful images and memories that last a lifetime.
5. More Than Just Photos
With your Bump to Baby package, you receive 30 high resolution digital photos, a collection that will be cherished for years to come. Your images will be professionally edited to ensure they look their best, and you’ll also have the option to purchase additional prints or albums.
Frequently Asked Questions – Newborn baby Photoshoots
1. When is the best time to book a newborn session?
The ideal time is within the first two weeks after birth, usually between 5 and 14 days old. Babies are typically sleepier and easier to pose during this window, allowing us to capture those adorable, curled-up poses.
2. How long does a newborn session take?
Newborn sessions typically last between 2-4 hours, with time for feeding, changing, and soothing to ensure your baby’s comfort throughout.
3. What should my baby wear?
There’s no need to bring outfits. I provide wraps, blankets, and props for your session. Often, simple diaper shots or natural, minimal clothing work best for that classic newborn look.
4. Should I bring anything special to the session?
Feel free to bring sentimental items, like a family heirloom, blanket, or favorite toy, to include in a few photos. A dummy/comforter can also be helpful in keeping your baby calm.
5. Can family members be part of the session?
Yes! Parents and siblings are welcome. Just let me know beforehand, so I can plan for special family shots. Coordinated outfits in neutral tones work well for these moments.
6. How should I prepare my baby for the session?
Keeping your baby awake for a little while before the shoot and feeding them right before arriving can help them sleep peacefully through the session. My studio is kept warm and cozy for your baby’s comfort, so it’s best to dress in light, comfortable clothing to stay cool.
7. What should we (the parents) wear?
Simple, neutral-colored clothing is best. Whites, creams, soft pastels, and grays complement newborn photos beautifully.
8. What if my baby is fussy or needs feeding?
No worries! Newborn sessions are flexible, with plenty of time built in for feeding, changing, and comforting. We’ll go at your baby’s pace.
9. Are props and accessories included?
Yes, I provide a variety of props, wraps, hats, and headbands. If you have a color theme or specific preferences, let me know in advance.
10. When will we receive our photos?
I aim to deliver your gallery within 5-10 business days. If I need extra time, I’ll keep you updated.
11. Are there any safety measures in place for the session?
Absolutely. Your baby’s safety is my priority, with gentle posing techniques and a padded, comfortable setup. I’ll only use poses that your baby is comfortable with.
12. How can I make the most of my newborn photoshoot experience?
Relax and enjoy the process! This is a special time to capture the fleeting details of your baby’s early days, and I’ll guide you through every step. My cozy studio is small, so you can see everything from the seating area. I’ve also provided a TV with a remote to keep you entertained while we capture these precious moments. You can simply sit back and soak in the experience.
