I’d always encourage you to get involved with your newborn photo shoot if you feel like it but not everyone is feeling camera ready so soon after their new baby arrives.
A good compromise is to just have your hands or arms in the picture – there are lots of ways we can do it and it’s a lovely way to be present and connected in your newborn images in a really stress free way.
Newborn Photography
A newborn photo shoot is best when your baby is between 5 and 10 days old as this is when they are at their maximum sleepiness and poseability to capture those dreamy shots. For this reason, I definitely recommend that you book when you are pregnant as this is one less thing to worry about scheduling when you’ve just got home from the hospital. We make an appointment for your due date plus 7 days and then adjust it as needed.
My newborn shoots include your three favourite digital images which you select from your online gallery a few weeks after your photo shoot – I don’t make you attend a sales or viewing session. Sessions take place in my warm and cosy studio in Crawley Down and cost £95.
