Question 1

Can I book my newborn session before my baby is born?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I recommend booking your newborn session after your 20-week scan to secure a spot in my diary. Once baby arrives, we’ll finalise the date based on your little one’s arrival.

Question 2

When is the best time for a photoshoot?

Accepted Answer

For maternity sessions, 28–34 weeks is generally ideal, though every pregnancy is unique. Some bumps show earlier, and some mamas feel more comfortable later. I'm happy to work around what feels right for you. For newborn photos, the sweet spot is within the first 2 weeks, when babies are still sleepy and curled up. If you've missed that window, don't worry I can still capture beautiful images of babies up to 12 weeks old. For older babies, a sitter session (typically around 7–10 months, once baby can sit unaided) is perfect to showcase their cheeky personality and growing confidence.

Question 3

What if my baby is late or we have to stay in hospital?

Accepted Answer

Please don’t worry, babies rarely stick to the plan! If you're overdue or need extra time in hospital, we’ll simply reschedule your session. If your baby is no longer in the "newborn" stage, we’ll still aim for those sleepy-style poses where possible, and I’ll work gently with your baby’s natural rhythm awake or asleep.

Question 4

Will the photos be just of the baby, or can we be in them too?

Accepted Answer

I always encourage parents to be in the photos. I know you might be feeling tired or not quite camera-ready, but these early moments are so precious and you’ll never regret being part of them. These are the memories your baby will treasure most when they grow up.

Question 5

Do you provide outfits and props?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I have a carefully curated collection of maternity gowns, baby knits, newborn bloomer shorts, white outfits, and wooden toys all designed to complement my soft, timeless style.

Question 6

What should we wear?

Accepted Answer

To keep the focus on connection rather than clothing, I recommend wearing light, neutral, plain tones. Think whites, creams, beiges, or soft greys. Simple dresses, tops, and jeans or trousers work beautifully.

Question 7

What should we bring to our session?

Accepted Answer

Pack everything you’d usually take for a day out with your baby, nappies, milk or snacks, comfort items, etc.

Question 8

Where will my session take place?

Accepted Answer

Your session will take place in my cosy home studio in Worthing. Purposefully designed to create a calm, relaxed environment for capturing beautiful, natural images.

Question 9

Will I get to choose which photos I receive?

Accepted Answer

To keep the experience simple and stress-free for you, I’ll carefully select the best images from your session. Choosing the most flattering, beautifully composed moments that tell the story of your family. Every image you receive will be professionally edited and thoughtfully chosen to reflect the very best of your gallery.

Question 10

How long will it take to receive our photos?

Accepted Answer

Your professionally edited images will be delivered via a private online gallery within 6 weeks of your session. From there, you’ll be able to download and treasure them forever.

Question 11

Are you insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I am fully insured for your peace of mind.
