WHEN is it best to have your session

For those serene 'sleepy' photos, the ideal time is when your baby is between 3-21 days old. Some babies may be unsettled from birth, while others remain sleepy and pliable even when older. With a little patience and gentle coaxing, most babies are still quite dozy at this stage.

If your baby is older, there's no need to worry. Lifestyle newborn photography celebrates the bond between you and your baby, making every photo precious, whether your baby is asleep or awake and gazing at you or the camera.

And to all the Mums, step into the frame! You might not feel your most glamorous, but these are moments you'll treasure forever. Join your baby in the photos; I assure you, I'll find the most flattering angles, and you'll always have the final say on which photos make it into your package. .

How to get ready for your session

• Have your house nice and warm. This helps keep your baby nice and sleepy and relaxed.
• We can include personal items such as your favorite swaddle or special gifts
• Its best to start feeding your baby 30 minutes before I arrive.
• When I arrive, I will check out the rooms with the best natural light. Usually I use the master bed, lounge and nursey. 
• Its best to remove any obvious clutter (such things on bedside tables). But please don’t worry about dishes or clean every room in your house – we can just move anything distracting in the background of images.
