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.
DO YOU CHARGE FOR TRAVEL?
Anywhere within 13 miles of Martley is free, anything beyond this is charged at 50p per mile.
