Question 3

WHEN DO I BOOK A NEWBORN SESSION?

Accepted Answer

My diary fills up fast, which is why it’s recommended to book your Newborn session well in advance, as soon as you know your due date, so you don’t miss the small window of opportunity for photos of your newest family member.

Only a limited number of newborns are booked each month, this is to allow for wiggle room just in case your newborn decides to make an early appearance or keeps us waiting. We create a provisional booking between 5 to 14 days after your due date, and if needed, we amend the date once the baby is born.
