The full creative sessions can be carried out within the first 6 weeks of your newborns birth. This means your baby is still naturally flexible and will sleep deeper when being handled. Babies become a lot more alert around 6 weeks.

You will have a consultation before the session via email or telephone to discuss your requirements, making your photoshoot as bespoke to you as possible. We discuss your favourite colours, the props you would like to see used, your preferred style of images and the poses you'd like to get.

Full sessions take between 2-4 hours. During the full session, I take time to sooth and settle your baby, we allow time for feeding, winding, crying, changing etc to ensure your baby is happy so we can get the discussed photos. It takes longer as there is much more to work through with multiple sets, including plenty of props and sibling/ parent shots.

As mentioned above, the full newborn sessions include multiple styles, including natural images, posed images, awake & asleep shots, lots of varied props, including buckets, baskets, beds, hats, headbands, wraps, outfits and so on. These sessions are designed to be posed sessions, where I will position your baby in multiple different poses, many different colours and styles are used to create a wide gallery of images. In the creative session, parent and/ or sibling photographs are included at no extra cost.

The full session images are given the option to be edited more thoroughly. I will never edit a baby beyond my usual editing style unless parents request, however in the full sessions things like blemishes, dry skin, jaundice etc can be edited upon request.

In the full sessions, I aim to create a gallery of around 30 images, possibly more if parents and siblings are involved. 

The full creative newborn session has a choice of packages to choose from, any of which require a £99 redeemable deposit which is deducted from the total cost. You then come back to the studio to view your gallery of 30+ images and decide on a package. Should you wish not to purchase any images, the £99 is refundable for the full session.

I don't want any spoilers but the full experience is just that, an experience and it includes lots of little surprises along the way. The session itself includes food, drink and snacks as well.

​

The packages that come with the full photoshoot also include money off vouchers for wall art and your next session too.

​

Both the creative and the mini include a referral scheme where you earn £20 cash-back for each friend you recommend.

Mini sessions are for babies up to 10 weeks old, so you have a little longer to get these done if you missed out. The older the baby is the more alert they're likely to be, so we do these with baby either awake or asleep.

There's not as much prep to do for a mini session as we don't use a wide variety of props and colours for this type of session. However you will still be fully prepped on what to expect but the only thing you'll need to give me is your chosen colour scheme, such as pinks, blues, greens, purples etc.

Mini sessions take approx 30-60 minutes and are continued whether your baby is awake or asleep. Of course if they are crying or unhappy, I will try my best to sooth them to a content mood. You are never kicked out of the door when your hour is up, I will always make sure I get your beautiful images, your baby just may be awake in some of them.

The mini sessions are photographs of just your beautiful baby alone, and do not include parent or sibling images. You get to choose one colour theme and we'll use three different props. All images are of your baby swaddled either awake or asleep in the variation of sets, there is no nude posing. So you still get a variety of images but there's not multiple colours, poses, sets and styles like in the full creative.

Of course I edit all of my images to perfection, but the difference between a newborn full session and a newborn mini session is that the mini sessions are light, basic editing, for a pure and simple finish. Extreme edits would be at an additional cost.

For the mini sessions, there will be a gallery of 10 images, where you will choose your 3 favourites.

The mini session is a one off, all inclusive price of £299 which includes 3 digital images. These are emailed to you within 72 hours, therefore you do not need to come back to a viewing. They are designed to be quick and easy (although never rushed), to capture just your beautiful baby and how small and perfect they are, with no added fuss. 

Sadly the mini sessions don't come with the little surprises (I can't say what as I don't want any spoilers). but you are still entitled to receive the benefit of the referral scheme where you earn £20 cash-back for each friend you recommend.
