As a professional photographer, I want to make sure all of your questions are answered before booking a photoshoot with me. Here are some frequently asked questions for both my newborn shoots and outdoor family shoots:
FAQs – Newborn Studio Photoshoot
-
Anytime after your 20 week scan is a good time to start thinking about booking your newborn shoot. It's best to secure your spot in advance as I can get booked up quickly.
-
I like to book newborn photoshoots for 10 days after your due date. Newborns are most sleepy and malleable during this time which makes for the best photos. If your baby arrives early or late, we can always adjust the date accordingly.
-
The shoot usually takes around 3+ hours. This may seem like a long time, but it allows plenty of time for feeding and comforting your baby. I want to make sure that your baby is as comfortable as possible throughout the shoot, so we can take our time.
-
No need to worry about food! I will provide you with snacks and refreshments throughout the shoot. If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, please let me know ahead of time so that I can accommodate your needs.
-
The only essential thing you need to bring is food for your baby. It's also helpful if you can bring a white baby vest as it will be used in some of the photos. Additionally, if you have any special blankets that you would like to incorporate into the photos, feel free to bring those too.
-
I suggest wearing simple and comfortable clothing in solid colours or subtle patterns. Avoid wearing anything too bright or busy as it can be distracting in the photos. It's also helpful to wear something that you feel comfortable nursing in.
-
Absolutely! I love capturing photos of the whole family during the newborn shoot. Just let me know ahead of time if you would like to include siblings in the photoshoot.
-
I aim to have your photos edited and ready for viewing within 10 days of the shoot. We will schedule a time for you to come back to my home studio to view your gallery and choose your favourite images.
I hope this has answered any questions you may have about newborn photoshoots. If you have any further questions or would like to book a shoot, please don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to capturing these special moments with you and your new baby!
