Frequently Asked Questions - Newborn Edition
-
The ideal time to book your newborn session is during pregnancy, usually after your 20-week scan. Sessions are then provisionally scheduled around your due date and confirmed once baby arrives.
-
Typically newborn sessions are photographed within the first 5–14 days after birth, when babies are still tiny and very sleepy. However, beautiful images can absolutely still be captured with older newborns too.
-
You can provide your own outfits, but I do also bring a selection of beautiful newborn clothing to every session which you are welcome to use. Props are usually unnecessary as everything is kept very natural and simple. The focus is always on connection and your baby, rather than heavy props.
-
I allow up to 2.5 hours for your newborn session. I am completely baby-led, and so with this time we can allow for feeding breaks as needed.
-
Yes! Absolutely. As a lifestyle photographer, parents and siblings are always encouraged to be involved within the session and photos.

Neutral, earthy and soft tones photograph beautifully and help create timeless images. Coordinating colours and patterns rather than matching outfits usually works best. When booking I provide a family photoshoot guide which includes styling advice.

This is completely normal! And expected. My sessions are relaxed and child-led, allowing children space to play, explore and interact naturally. I use play-based prompts to encourage them to interact with you and with me to get natural, joy-filled photographs.

Family sessions often take place outdoors around Cheltenham and the Cotswolds. I have a number of hand-picked locations that are popular with my clients. I will share my full location guide with you on booking and we will work together to find the best location for your family.
