Your Newborn session
It’s my job to capture the snuggly moments when nothing else matters but those dreamy cuddles, the first feeds and their tiny details.
I know it’s hard to think about anything else during those early postpartum days, but I truly believe capturing them this new is something you will cherish for a lifetime.
Newborn sessions are BEST held within the first 14 days, so we can photography them naturally posed when they are so delicious and sleepy not quite awoken to the world yet. If you're not quite ready and need a little more time we can opt to have your newborn session any time within their first 6 weeks. For babies over 6 weeks I suggest booking a 1 hour family session and start with their awake window.
During our session I'll take my time and gently guide you throughout. It is my job to provide a relaxed experience so that you can enjoy smiling at all their little facial expressions. A time to let it all sink in and just enjoy this moment you have waited a lifetime for.
I cannot wait to hear from you!!
Newborn sessions are available on week day mornings ideally monday/tuesday/wednesday at 10am - 12pm
What's included?
The session
1.5 - 2 hour session for baby, parents and siblings. This allows us plenty of time if bubs needs extra cuddles, feeds or settling.
In home, at the studio or outdoors
We can we can tailor your session to exactly what you'd like it to be. In the comfort of your own home and in the garden. In the studio just a short drive out of town or outside in nature.
Client wardrobe
You have free access to the client wardrobe for your session, I have many postpartum and breastfeeding friendly dresses to choose from. Plus the gorgeous rompers, bloomers and wraps for your little love.
NEWBORN SESSION INVESTMENT
It's super important to me that my packages are clear and transparent. I want you to know all the details, what's included in your session and my pricing is available right here on my website with no hidden extras. I have 5x image collection options to suit your budget and needs. Most families will book with the highlights image collection and decide if they would like to upgrade after seeing their preview images.
Session fee + image collection = total cost
$200 due upon booking then the balance is due on the 1st of the month of your due date.
Pay via bank transfer or stripe. Payment plan set up on request.
Newborn session fee:
This fee covers everything that goes into your session including the booking/planning process, travel, plus my time and talent at the session. This is the non-refundable deposit amount due within 48 hours of booking and secures your booking with me. I only take a handful of newborn sessions per month so I have the flexibility to schedule your session within the first 14 days of your baby's arrival.
Image collections:
This is where the majority of the time and work goes in, making your images beautiful is a big postproduction process. I also include professional prints in each package which I believe is a lovely addition, there is nothing more special than holding those images in your hands.
