Let me start by saying congratulations and thank you so much for choosing me to capture your new bundle of joy!
Here is a little information for you to read before your session so you are prepared.
Newborn sessions are designed for newborns 14 days and younger, during this time newborns tend to be sleepier and retain that fresh newborn curl, making it easier to position them happily and comfortably.
I will set your newborn session on a temporary date, as you know most babies come when they're ready. Once you have given birth, please get in contact with me as soon as you get a chance via my mobile 0422 404 668, Contact page, or Facebook page, and we will select and lock in a date for your newborn session. If you're booked in for a c-section I will book your session about a week after, but let me know if your hospital stay is longer then intended.
Be prepared that your newborn session will last approximately 2-3 hours long, this ensures we have enough time to pose, get baby to sleep, and take whatever breaks necessary such as feedings, changes and comforting.
The studio is kept at warm temperature, so your newborn is comfortable (similar to being in the womb) so please bring some cool clothing so you're comfortable also.
Before the session your newborn should be well fed, so once you enter the studio I will get you to start to undress and feed baby - just have a nappy on loosely and a loose wrap around baby so it's easy to remove if they fall asleep.
During your session, I will be posing and handling your baby with care, sanitized hands, and all fabrics and props used, washed and sanitized.
Dress code - For parents and sibling sessions, I usually suggest wearing something nice, not too patterned and with neutral colours.
Things to bring -
Formula (if that's what you are feeding baby)
Bottles (if you're using them)
Spare nappies
Dummy (even if baby isn't taking one, can be just enough to settle baby back in to a sleep)
Things to entertain toddler/siblings
Anything else you think you may need
Please be aware, if you have a toddler with you, please bring some things to keep them entertained, or have someone come and collect them or take them for a walk once their family shots are finished. I ask for only the family that will be participating in the photos to come into the studio - we do our best to keep it a calm, quiet environment to keep baby settled, and to keep siblings attention, I appreciate your understanding.

I will always do my best to in-corporate the requests of clients but due to safety concerns sometimes these requests cant always be met. Thank you for your understanding.
