Moments this small
don't last long.
Photographs do.

The ideal window for newborn photography is 5–14 days old. Babies are typically sleepier and more flexible at this age, which allows our photographers to create those beautiful curled poses safely. We recommend booking during pregnancy so we can schedule around your due date. We also do gorgeous sessions with babies up to three months old — the poses simply adapt to their development.

Session length depends on your package — 45 to 90 minutes of active photography. However, we always allocate additional time on either side for settling in, feeding breaks, outfit changes, and any cuddles your little one needs. For newborns especially, the total studio visit can be 2–3 hours, and we treat that entirely as normal.

Absolutely — this is where our experience really shows. We never force poses or make children feel uncomfortable. We use play, distraction, bubbles, and patience to capture natural moments. Some of the most beautiful toddler portraits happen when we stop trying to direct them. The wiggles, the giggles, and the little quirks make the best shots.

For newborns: milk (if bottle feeding), nappies, a dummy if used, and any special outfits or wraps you love. For older children: a favourite toy or comforter can help. We have a large collection of props, outfits, and accessories in-studio, so you're welcome to come with nothing and choose on the day. We'll send you a full preparation guide after booking.

Yes — and we love it when they are. Sibling shots, parent-and-baby moments, and whole-family frames add beautiful variety to your gallery. Just let us know during booking so we can plan the session accordingly. There's no extra charge for having family members involved — it's all part of your session time.

We book a private viewing appointment for exactly one week after your session. You'll come back to the studio, sit comfortably, and see all your professionally edited images on our large display screen. This is an exciting moment — and you'll be making decisions about prints and albums with our team right there to help.

Yes! A kids or newborn photography session makes one of the most meaningful gifts imaginable — for new parents, grandparents, or any family celebrating a new arrival. Our gift vouchers are available for any package value and don't expire for 12 months. Visit our Gift Vouchers page to purchase.
