Newborn photography works best when your baby is between five and ten days old. This is when they are at their most sleepy and curled, which makes those beautiful posed images possible. After the first two weeks, babies become more alert and harder to settle, so the window is a real one rather than just a suggestion.

The problem is that you cannot book for a specific date when you do not know exactly when your baby will arrive. Only around four percent of babies are born on their due date, and waiting until after the birth to make contact often means the window has already passed by the time a session can be arranged.

The solution is simple. Book while you are still pregnant, any time after your twenty week scan is fine, and we book provisionally for your due date plus seven days. From there, we adjust around when your baby actually arrives. If they come early, we bring the session forward. If they are late, we push it back. I keep a small number of days in the calendar each week that are not open for general booking, specifically so I can accommodate this flexibility.

You just need to let me know when your baby arrives and we will sort the rest.
