Mini Newborn Session
Booking Confirmation
Please read and re read this important information on how to prepare, because it really does make SUCH a difference.
If you are unable to attend the session please contact us as soon as you can, as missed appointments will result in you losing the cost of your session. If anyone attending the session, including baby are ill please let us know asap, please do not just turn up to the session, we work with vulnerable newborns and children, so it’s important not to put anyone else at risk of sickness. Please be prepared for the session to take an hour, this is dependent on baby.
THERE IS A NO SHOES POLICY in our studio room, this is because little hands touch our floor.
We do have lots of comfy slippers for our clients to use when not being photographed.
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
We ask that you dress baby in a vest and babygro, this ensures a smooth transition from arrival to shooting. Please use blankets if extra layers are needed.
WHEN YOU ARRIVE
We may ask you to give baby a quick top up of milk, this can sometimes help ease them into the session. We will then take baby off your hands so you can sit back and take the rest of the time to relax, we recommend bringing a book, magazines or an ipad with a film downloaded, some parents use this time to rest and have a much needed nap on our comfortable sofa. Our studio is only small so us and baby are always in the same room as you.
Our sessions are baby led so we take our time, make sure baby is comfortable and that they are happy at all times. Each baby is different and each session goes differently as a result. The images we get will depend almost completely on your baby on the day, as well as our skills in creating a set of images personal to you.
WHAT TO BRING
We recommend bringing extra nappies, a few more than you would normally pack in your bag. A dummy if you use one and bottles if you bottle feed. We find babies tend to be extra hungry at the sessions.
You are very welcome to bring along any special stuffed animals, or if a parent has a uniform i.e helmets or boots or hobby, instruments etc. If there are any props you wish to be included, please let us know at least 24 hours before the session. This gives us time to readjust the set ups if needed.
We recommend yourselves wearing light layers as we keep the studio quite warm for baby. Layers mean you can stay comfortable.
We do have water available, however you are welcome to bring your own refreshments or there is a hot drink vending machine and a cold drink and snack vending machine in the break room next to the studio in the business centre. Please DO NOT bring hot or strong smelling food in to the studio.
