Don't worry, I'm here to help! 


As a studio newborn photographer, I understand the value and importance of capturing these early moments of your baby's life!

My two children are teenagers now and some of my most treasured possessions are the images I took of them when they were newborns 😍

If you're an expectant parent, you're probably overwhelmed with all the decisions you need to make. 


Newborn photography doesn't have to be one of them. 

Let me guide you through the process and provide you with all the information you need to choose someone to capture some early moments of your baby's life for you !



“What should I look for when hiring a newborn photographer?”

It's important to choose a photographer who specializes in newborn photography and has experience working with infants. At my studio, I have years of experience working with newborns and their families. I'm dedicated to providing a comfortable, safe, and enjoyable experience for you and your baby. I understand the importance of capturing these early moments, and I take pride in creating beautiful, timeless memories that you'll cherish for years to come.


“What can I expect during a newborn photography session?”

During a newborn photography session, I'll work to create a comfortable and safe environment for your baby, and guide you through the posing process. You can include your family members in the photos, and I encourage parents and siblings to participate in this special moment. If you have any specific poses or props in mind, I'm always happy to incorporate your ideas and preferences into the session.


Scheduling your session is also important and it depends on the type of images that you would like to get from your shoot.

To capture those sleepy curled up moments, it's important to schedule your newborn photography session as early as possible, ideally within the first two weeks of your baby's life. 

If you would prefer to capture baby more awake and less 'posed' 3 weeks on up to about 8 weeks is the time to do that.

Either way I recommend booking your session as soon as possible during your pregnancy to ensure availability. From time to time I have last minute availability but I can't guarantee that.


“Do I need to bring anything?” 

You don't need to bring much to the session as most of the items your baby will need will be provided by the studio, including props, backdrops, and blankets. However, I encourage you to bring a few personal items that you would like to incorporate into the photos, like a special blanket or toy (this is totally optional)! Also come prepared to feed baby more than usual as the studio temperature is quiet warm and they may need to eat extra. It also helps with settling them if needs be too.



“When will I get my photos?” 

After the session, you can expect to receive the final edited photos within 2 weeks. I offer a range of packages that include both digital files and prints. 

Once you have seen your finished gallery, if you are having trouble choosing the amount of images that are in your original package you can upgrade at that stage to include extras.

“How much does newborn photography cost?”

Newborn photography sessions can range from €300 to €1,500, depending on the package and photographer you choose. I know this might seem like a significant investment, but keep in mind that newborn photography is a specialized service that requires a lot of time, effort, and equipment. I'm dedicated to providing high-quality images & products that you'll cherish for a lifetime! 


So, there you have it! Newborn photography is a wonderful way to capture the early moments of your baby's life and I do my best to take care of all the details, so all you have to do is show up!
