Newborn

About the Session

This photo shoot would be longer varying from 2-4 hours. This time is required to ensure correct placement of your baby, deciding what props to use and when, allowing time for feeding, changing and cleaning, if necessary. You may bring a favourite blanket, toy, clothes or something sentimental that you wish to include in your photographs. I also have a variety of items you may use, including blankets, head bands, wraps, hats, soft toys and more. Family members are also welcome to join in on the photo session.

Booking the Session

I advise that you book your child’s newborn photo session during pregnancy, approximately two months prior to their estimated birth date. This is to ensure that I will be able to take photos of your baby within the first two weeks of his/her life. I understand that no one can predict precisely when their baby will be born, but I do make space in my calendar to accommodate a limited amount of newborn sessions each month. I also understand that you will have a lot of things on your mind with a newborn, however I do ask that you reach out to me in the first few days following birth so we can make plans for the photo shoot.

FAQ's

Absolutely! Photographing your little one surrounded by family is an incredible experience for everyone involved. You will want to book the Newborn + Family session.

Your session will take up to 2.5 to 3 hours, depending on the type of session you book. Taking little breaks to allow times for feeding and changing. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable and the pace of your session will be determined by the baby.

If I have an opening in my calendar I am more than happy to book you in. Most often, however I am booked out months in advance. Keep that in mind. Saying that I will do my very best to book you in if I can.

You will be invited to come in for an appointment to view your photos in around 2 weeks from your session date and to view it in your gallery set up at my studio and you can choose photographs you want to keep! 

Your session will take place in my private and cozy photography studio in Limerick city (unless you want the photoshoot at your home, can be done on request). Just bring yourself and your cute little bundle of joy and rest assured that the studio is fully stocked with all the necessary props, headbands, wraps and etc. to keep you comfortable throughout your session. 

I do! In my studio you will find a large supply of hats, headbands, and wraps that we can play with. 

I want you to feel comfortable so I suggest wearing clothes that you can move freely in. I would recommend soft tones, solid colours, please avoid loud prints and patterns so that we can keep the focus on your baby. If you would like a traditional look, a black or white t-shirt is a nice choice but I have found that many of my clients like a more modern, light and airy look, soft and muted colors. 

The best time to book your session is before your baby is born. This way you can rest assured your newborn photoshoot will occur within 2 weeks of birth, you will be in my priority list! My weekly diary fills up quickly and I only take on a limited amount of newborns each month. Let’s make sure that we have your session on the calendar before the birth so that you don’t have to think about it once the baby is born.

Your due date will be your session date so that we can be sure that you are on my diary for that month. Once your baby is born and you are ready to go home, all you have to do is send me an email and from there we’ll book your session date and time within the first 7-14 days of your baby’s arrival. Once you book your newborn session I’ll send you a detailed email with all the information you need to know including booking once the baby is here, what you can expect from your session, how to prep yourself and your baby and other helpful tips.

The sooner the better! Newborns tend to stay asleep a few days after birth and because of this we are able to gently move your little one into sweet poses with less stress. After a couple of weeks, this is not as easy to do. After the 14 days mark babies begin to stretch and the poses won’t be as easy to accomplish but still can be done. Newborn session done from 7 days to 8 weeks.

Your newborn session fee includes your session time and digital photos or prints, look at prices and packages please. 

After your session we’ll discuss when you can expect your gallery to  be ready for viewing. Together we will book a time 2-3 weeks after your
session date for your reveal and viewing session. 

Usually in our packages description we have for example three set ups. This doesn’t mean that your baby will change outfits three times. This means that we will take photos of your baby in three different poses and with different props. I cannot predict how our photoshoot will go, as all babies are different and take different poses during their sleep. Your baby will lead this photoshoot and not us. My goal is to take pictures that focus on your baby versus any clothes or props used

If your baby has a rash – do not worry, it will be hidden with the use of photo editing. Or, for example, if your baby’s umbilical cord stump has not fallen away yet, we will hide it with dresses or different positioning. I will not remove any birthmarks or dry skin as I believe this only increases the impression of how small and fragile the baby’s skin is. When your child is 1-2 months all of these will disappear. I want you to look back on your photoshoot as a beautiful, memorable moment.
