Session Guide

Preparing for session day

A little preparation makes for a sleepy, settled baby — and dreamy photos.

  1. 1Feed your baby right before leaving home — a full tummy means a sleepy baby.
  2. 2Dress baby in loose, easy-to-remove clothing (avoid tight elastics 1–2 hours before).
  3. 3Keep baby awake for about an hour before the session if possible.
  4. 4Bring 2 extra bottles/feeds, diapers, wipes and a pacifier if you use one.
  5. 5Our studio is kept warm (~26°C) — dress lightly yourself!
  6. 6Parents joining photos: soft neutral colors (cream, beige, white) photograph best.
  7. 7Plan to arrive 10 minutes early so the session starts calm and unhurried.

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time for a newborn session?+

The sweet spot is 5–14 days after birth, while babies are still sleepy and curly. Book while you're expecting — we hold your date flexibly around your due date at no charge.

How long does a session take?+

Between 45 minutes and 3 hours depending on your collection. We never rush: feeding, cuddling and soothing breaks are part of the plan.

Is posing safe for my baby?+

Always. Our photographers are trained in newborn safety, a spotter is present for every posed shot, and advanced poses are created as safe photo composites.

What should we wear?+

Soft, neutral tones (cream, beige, sand, white) photograph beautifully and never date. Avoid busy patterns and logos.

How does payment work?+

A 50% deposit reserves your date and unlocks your online agreement. The remaining balance is due on the session day. Extra photos and full-album unlocks can be purchased later from your preview gallery.

When do we see our photos?+

Your private watermarked preview gallery arrives 2–3 weeks after the session. Pick your included favorites, add extras if you wish, and your final edited album follows.
