I’m looking forward to seeing you for your newborn photography session!
What to Wear:
Many clients ask for guidance on clothing, and I always suggest choosing plain, timeless pieces in a soft, coordinated colour palette. Neutral and light tones photograph beautifully, while busy patterns and logos can be distracting. If you’d like inspiration, searching “newborn lifestyle photography what to wear” on Pinterest is a great place to start.
For Baby, simple is perfect. A plain white vest or baby grow works wonderfully for arrival, as we’ll spend much of the session photographing Baby in their nappy and gently wrapped in soft blankets. There’s no need to prepare outfits unless there is something specific you’d love included.
I will bring everything needed for your newborn session, including my posing beanbag, blankets and wraps (all freshly laundered), along with studio lighting should we need it. That said, I’m always happy to incorporate meaningful personal items you may have. Special touches such as a hand-knitted blanket, favourite teddy, first booties, scan photograph or personalised keepsake can add a lovely layer of story to your images (but please don’t feel any pressure if you don’t have these).
Newborn sessions are naturally baby-led, so feeding, changing and cuddling breaks are completely expected. We will simply pause whenever Baby needs.
Your home on the day
Those early weeks with a new baby can be wonderfully busy and emotional, so please don’t worry about having a perfectly tidy home. I will gently guide the session and find the most beautiful pockets of light and space for your photographs, allowing you to relax and enjoy the experience.
After your shoot:
After your session, I’ll work quietly behind the scenes to curate and gently enhance your photographs, preparing a beautiful private gallery for you to enjoy. As soon as it’s ready, you’ll receive a personal link via email where you can view your images, select your favourites, download your inclusive digital photographs to your device, order additional prints and products, and share the gallery with family and friends.
Kind Words
“Jen was fabulous, on the day of the photo shoot for our newborn we had a very fussy baby.
Jen took her time and reassured us and used her skills and knowledge to calm our baby to be able to take some beautiful photos.
The whole experience was friendly, calm and relaxed.
The photos are just perfect and so professional.”
Kelly,
