Newborn Sessions
Please contact me when you are still expecting to ensure I can book your newborn session! I allocate 2-4 newborn sessions per week and often book up a few weeks ahead. Its best to contact me before you are 36 weeks pregnant to guarantee availability. We can then book a tentative date - however as new babies rarely arrive on time this date can be flexible to be changed if need be! The newborn images that are displayed on my web page are generally babies between 1 - 3 weeks old. I find this is the ideal time for newborn sessions, while babies are still brand new, sleepy & squishy to try and achieve those cute sleepy poses!!
I primarily work home studio, located in Wynn vale. I have set this up with newborns as my priority. I do still offer the option of visiting you in your own home for your newborn session, this is now covered with my ultimate package only.
A typical newborn shoot can take anywhere from 1 - 3 hours. It is usually helpful if baby feeds before the shoot, this can be before you leave for your session or once you get here. New babies are fairly unpredictable so I always allow plenty of time for feeding, changing & cuddles!
Maternity
Maternity sessions are generally best done between 33 - 37 weeks pregnant. I find this to be the best time as it is when baby bumps are nice and round but before you are feeling too uncomfortable & tired! You have the option of studio style maternity images done from your home, or an outdoor on location shoot. I do love an outdoor maternity shoot with lots of beautiful locations/settings to choose from. Partners & children are more than welcome to be included in your session.
Family Sessions
Family sessions can be done outdoors on-location, from the studio or even from your home. I have a variety of locations I love depending on the weather & the look/style you like, however I’m always open to suggestions and love trying new out new places! Family sessions can include individuals shots taken of children & group family shots. Clients often ask me for outfit suggestions, while I do suggest to wear what you like and are comfortable in a good tip is to avoid obvious patterns and large logo's of any kind - try to keep everyone’s clothing similar in colour, tone and style for the best look.
