Newborn Photography Sydney

When is the best time to book my maternity photography session?

It’s best to book your maternity photography sessions while you are between 32 – 36 weeks pregnant.

When is the best time to book my newborn photography session?

In order to achieve those adorable curly poses, newborn photography sessions are best done within the first 2 weeks from birth. I find the sweet spot is when your baby is between 7-10 days old. This is why it is extremely important to book whilst still in your 1st or 2nd trimester to secure a spot for this time frame as I am generally booked out anywhere from 3 to 6 months in advance.

What if my baby doesn’t arrive on my due date?

This without a doubt happens in most cases, which is why I only take a limited amount of bookings each month. This is to provide flexibility for early and late arrivals. When you book, we book in your due date as a tentative booking and once baby arrives you will need to let me know as soon as possible. We can then schedule in your newborn session within the next 2 weeks.

How far in advance should I book my newborn photography session?

Most women book their maternity &/or newborn photography sessions whilst still in their 1st or 2nd trimester of pregnancy (usually once they have had their 12 week scan). As I am generally booked out up to 6 months in advance, it is important to book early to avoid disappointment. Unfortunately if you wait until after your baby is born, the chances of securing a spot within those first 2 weeks would be very difficult.

Can I include my other children and partner in my photography session?

Of course! I actually encourage this as these are beautiful moments your family will cherish forever! There is no additional charge for including shots with partners or siblings.

Do you provide maternity dresses and gowns or do I need to wear my own?

A collection of beautiful maternity gowns are available for all of my clients to use. I like to encourage outfit changes throughout the session using my gowns to achieve different styles and looks. All of my gowns are super stretchy and suitable for all body types.

Do I need to bring anything with me to my newborn photography session?

Only your baby’s essentials such as bottles and formula (if not breast feeding) and nappies. A huge collection of props, backdrops, outfits, headbands and bonnets are available and ready to use during your session.

How long after my photography session are my images ready?

A social media sneak peek will be posted immediately after your session. A gallery of 20 individually professionally edited images will be ready to view and download within 1 week after your session.

What payment options do you have?

To secure your session, you only need to pay your session fee to secure the date and time chosen. You will be emailed an electronic invoice to pay this online either by card or direct bank transfer. Your session fee does NOT include any images and these will need to be paid for on the day of your session. The studio accepts payments in the form of cash and Eftpos. If you will be placing a larger order including products such as frames, canvases or albums, a Take Home Layby option is available. This allows you to make regular fortnightly payments over 6 or 12 months with NO INTEREST EVER!

How do I book?

Booking is simple! First we will need to confirm availability for your maternity or newborn photography session. Once you’re happy to go ahead, I will email you an electronic invoice so that you can easily pay your session fee online. After your session fee has been paid, I will then be able to secure your booking and you will be sent an email with information on what to expect and how to best prepare for your session.
