FAQ's
WHEN SHOULD I MAKE A BOOKING?
I would suggest booking both maternity and newborn sessions anytime after your 12 or 20 week scan, but as soon as possible. My diary fills up months in advance!
​
​
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK THE SESSION FOR?
Newborn
I usually recommend newborn sessions take place when baby is between 6 and 14 days old so they are still sleepy and squishy, but if they are older/ younger than this, we can make it work too!
Maternity
I usually recommend booking your maternity shoot for when you are between 30-36 weeks pregnant. At this point your bump should be lovely and round, but hopefully you won't have got to that uncomfortable stage yet!
​
​
WHAT IF BABY ARRIVES LATE/EARLY?
Babies rarely arrive on their due date, so we will book a provisional date for around 6-10 days after your due date, then when baby makes an appearance we can move this date to suit - I'm very flexible with dates!
​
​
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET OUR PHOTOS BACK?
I aim to get fully edited digital images back to you no later than 3 weeks after your shoot, but usually around 2 weeks.
If your package includes, or you choose to purchase prints, please allow 3 weeks from your order date.
​
​
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
I recommend wearing something neutral such as whites, creams, beiges, sage greens etc. and avoid garish prints and logos. But generally whatever you feel comfortable in.
​
​
WHAT IF BABY WONT SETTLE?
Do not worry! Everything in this wide world is new to your baby so it's completely normal for them to become unsettled. I will bring a white noise machine with me, and there is no pressure to get baby to 'perform'. I allow plenty of time for your shoot, for feeding & changing etc, to be able to get some gorgeous shots, and we will work with baby and their mood on the day.
