Frequently asked questions

Both sessions are best booked as early as possible, ideally from your second trimester, to ensure availability.
For your maternity session, you have the choice of a beautiful outdoor sunset, a cosy in-home setting, or a timeless studio session. These sessions are usually best held between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump has a lovely round shape, baby is still sitting high, and you are generally feeling comfortable and able to move around with ease.
If you are expecting twins or your belly is growing quickly, you may want to schedule a little earlier. And if you are already further along and still hoping to book, please reach out. I may still be able to fit you in.
Newborn sessions typically take place in the first 1 - 2 weeks of life. During this time, babies are usually sleepier and more curled up, which allows for those gentle, natural poses.
That said, I believe every stage of newborn life is worth capturing. If your baby has passed the two-week mark, there is still so much beauty we can document. Capturing older babies is just as special as photographing the newborn stage. Every age brings its own unique beauty and connection.

Each session has its own unique charm. Studio newborn sessions take place in my cosy, well-equipped studio, where I have a beautiful selection of props, wraps, outfits, and accessories. We combine gently posed setups with relaxed, natural moments to create timeless images. These sessions are best held within the first two weeks when babies are still very sleepy and easy to settle. As time progresses, settling the baby becomes more challenging, compounded by potential issues like baby acne and colic.
Lifestyle sessions are held in the comfort of your home and follow a storytelling approach. Think cuddles on the couch, quiet feeds, moments in the nursery, and even including your pets. I bring along my beanbag, wraps, and blankets so we can still capture some soft and simple baby portraits alongside those beautifully candid moments.
Both session styles are designed to capture your baby just as they are while celebrating the love and connection your family shares during this fleeting season.

A deposit is required to secure your spot and reserve your place in my calendar. Booking in advance is highly recommended, as availability is limited. A 25% non-refundable (but possibly transferable) deposit is due at the time of booking, with the remaining balance, based on your selected photo package, due seven days before your session.
