What to Expect at a Newborn Photoshoot
Your Newborn Photography Experience
A Calm, Beautiful Beginning
If you've never had a newborn photoshoot before, it's completely normal to feel unsure about what to expect.
My goal is to make your newborn photography experience in Auckland calm, relaxed and fully guided from start to finish.
A Calm, Baby-Led Session
Every newborn session is baby-led, meaning I follow your baby's needs. There is plenty of time for feeding, settling and cuddles. Nothing is rushed.
Relaxed, Gentle & Fully Guided
What Happens During Your Session?
A Relaxed Environment
Whether your newborn session takes place in my studio or in your home, everything is designed to feel calm and stress-free.
You don't need to worry about what to do. I'll gently guide you through every step, so you can relax and enjoy these precious moments.
Beautifully Guided Portraits
Every session is a little different, depending on the experience you choose. Your newborn photography session may include:
- Comfortable wrapped poses
- Beautiful newborn portraits
- Family and sibling photographs
- Breaks for feeding and settling
Your Baby's Safety Comes First
Your baby's safety and comfort are always my priority. Every pose is approached carefully and gently, with your baby's individual needs guiding the session.
Planning Your Newborn Session
When Should You Book?
The Perfect Time for Newborn Portraits
For posed in-home newborn photography, the first 7 to 21 days are generally ideal for capturing those beautiful, sleepy newborn portraits.
I recommend booking during pregnancy using your due date. Your session date can then be adjusted once your little one arrives.
A Newborn Experience Designed Around Mum, Too
My Signature and Legacy in-home newborn collections offer a beautiful split-session option.
I capture your baby's posed portraits at home first, then welcome you into my studio 2 to 4 weeks later for relaxed family and sibling portraits.
