My baby isn't born yet, can I still book?
Yes, I would recommend booking your newborn photoshoot once you've had your 20 week scan.​
When is best to have a photoshoot?
I find 28-34 weeks is generally a good time for maternity shoots, but everyone is different. Some pregnancies show earlier than others. Newborn photos are usually best up to 3 weeks old. It's the perfect time to capture how small and sleepy they are. However if you've missed the newborn stage, I can still capture beautiful images of babies aged 3 weeks-3 months. For older babies I'd recommend a sitter session. They really do capture your Little one's cheeky character and are ideal for babies aged 7-10 months or when they can sit unaided.
What happens if my baby is late or we need to stay in hospital?
Please don't worry, I know from my own experience that things don't always go to plan. If you are overdue or you and your baby might need to stay in hospital, we can rearrange the photoshoot date. If baby is no longer a newborn, we can try and achieve those newborn looks where possible. Some babies are more awake than others and if they are awake for the whole session, don't worry I'll still be able to capture gorgeous images of your baby.
Will the photos just be of baby, or us too?
I love including parents in my sessions. I know you might be feeling tired or lacking confidence, but I promise you won't regret it in years to come.
Do you provide outfits and props?
Yes, I have a selection of maternity outfits and a small but growing selection of beautiful baby jumpers, white outfits, newborn bloomer shorts and wooden toys.
What should we wear?
If you'd like to be in the photos with your baby, please coordinate by wearing white, light, neutral plain tops/dress with trousers/jeans. My style is simple and timeless. I want to focus on you and not your clothes.
What shall we bring on the day?
Pack everything you would usually need for a day out. Please dress your Little one in a plain white vest, also bring a spare just in case!
Where will my session take place?
In my little home studio in Worthing. It's the perfect space to capture those timeless portraits.
How long will it take to receive my images?
After your session you will receive the beautiful professionally edited images, delivered digitally via a secure online gallery within 6 weeks for you to download.
Do you have insurance?
Absolutely!
