Your baby's safety and comfort always come first
‍

Your baby's safety and comfort are always my priority. I have completed newborn safety training and, through years of experience, continued education and being
a mum of two myself, I've learned to recognise your baby's cues and understand when they are comfortable, when they need a break and when it's time to move on to something different. I would never force a pose if I felt it was uncomfortable for your baby. Your baby's needs always come before my vision or the schedule of the session. Whether I'm working with a prop or a positioning table, I generally keep poses natural and close to the curled positions babies were used to in the womb, making the experience as comfortable as possible.

When is the best time for newborn photos?

Newborns are typically photographed within the first two weeks of life. At this stage, babies tend to sleep more deeply and naturally curl into those beautiful newborn poses we all love.

At this stage, babies tend to sleep more deeply and naturally curl into those beautiful newborn poses we all love.As babies get older, they become more alert and aware of their surroundings and of touch. They may stretch out more, wake more easily and become less comfortable being moved or posed. This can make some of the traditional newborn poses more difficult or simply not appropriate — but it doesn't mean we can't create beautiful photographs.

It's important to remember that this isn't about your baby's size. Premature babies, for example, may remain very small for longer, but their developmental stage still changes with age. As the weeks pass, they can become more aware and responsive to touch and less likely to naturally settle into those curled newborn positions, regardless of how small they are.A three-week-old baby can behave very differently from a five-week-old baby, and a five-week-old baby will usually be very different again from a three-month-old. That's why I always ask for your baby's exact age when planning a session. If you've missed the first two weeks, don't worry — just tell me how old your baby is. Knowing their exact age helps me plan the session appropriately, choose suitable setups and poses, and make sure you know what to expect.If you have particular ideas, poses or props you'd love to include, please let me know before your session. I can then plan around your baby's age and stage of development and have everything ready when you arrive.My head is always full of ideas, and I prepare everything in advance so that once you arrive, I can focus on what matters most — your baby. I have a plan, but your baby sets the pace.
