FAQ

When should I do a maternity session?

Maternity sessions are best to do around 32-36 weeks, a just so we can account for early babies and you will feel much more comfortable at this stage rater than 36-40 weeks. 

Do I need to bring my own outfits?

You are welcome to bring your own or you can use outfits from our small collection of gowns and dresses. Most women do a combination of both.

Can my partner and older children be part of the maternity session?

Absolutely, we encourage the family to all take part in this beautiful session

How early should I book my session?

12-16 weeks before due date to secure a spot. I only take a few newborns per month in order to have availability for when your baby arrives. We will book a tentative date 7 days post due date and once baby arrives pencil in a suitable date.

How long is a session?

The studio has a baby led approach. We work around what your baby needs. Whilst some sessions takes only 1.5 hours, other can take up towards 3 hours. We expect your baby to feed a little extra, and allow for that time. On newborn session days we only have you booked, this way we do not need to think of anything else than your new baby

How much does it cost?

Where is your studio?

I have a comfortable in home studio in Kuraby. Backing onto a beautiful nature park, we also have options for stunning location photos

Do you do in home sessions?

Yes, we can come to you. It is an added cost for this service

Will you capture family photos during the newborn session?

Yes, we will capture mum and dad, along with siblings at the beginning of the session. Once siblings have been captured it is best to have an arrangement for them to be picked up as they easily can get bored. 

How many photos do you capture?

A newborn gallery will have 50-60 photos to choose from. And a minimum of 5 different setups

When will we see the photos?

We will book you in for an ordering appointment 5-7 days after the session. This is when you decide what you want and if you want to upgrade your package with more photos, what type of products you like and how your album looks like. ( all packages comes with an album)

Do we need to prepare or bring anything?

I recommend to give baby a nice long warm bath and a big feed in the morning before you leave. Pop baby in a loose fitting zippy suit, nothing that goes over baby head is best. Once you arrive to the studio give baby a little popup feed and we can start the session. You only need to bring nappies, spare clothes and formula if baby is formula fed. A dummy can also work wonders. I recommend the Jollypop brand :-)

What should parents and siblings wear?

Solid light colours that compliment each other is great. Beige, white, blue, charcoal, neutral colours are best. 

Are we allowed to take our own photos during the session?

You can capture behind the scene photos of you like. I do not allow for parents to capture the sets as it disrupts the workflow and things will take much longer

Can we bring our own props to the studio?

We love to capture some of your special items, such as baby girl in mums wedding dress or baby in dads work uniform, perhaps you have a family heirloom you like to incorporate. This is good stuff. We do not allow for cheap eBay props or unsafe items, such as guns or traps. 

Hope this has made things easy for you. Can’t wait to hear from you, learn more about you and capture memories to last you a lifetime
