How Long Is The Session Duriation?

Your session will take up to 2.5 hours. This provides plenty of time for feeding, nappy changes, cuddles, and burping.

Premature Births

Every premature birth is different, please discuss your child's personal details, as we will tailor a session to best suit your newborn.

Family Portraits/ Siblings

Parents portraits are included in the session, however siblings, extended family and grandparents incur a fee of $50.

In terms of siblings, we capture siblings at the beginning of the session, this way you have flexibility to take the sibling/s out for a bit to avoid them becoming restless

Some parents prefer to take the sibling/s outside of the studio until the session is complete, providing a suitable caregiver is accompanying your newborn. We have a nearby service station for food and supplies, a nearby playground/ park area, and we are only five minutes from Ikea.

Food/ Drinks/ Other

We understand sessions can be a little lengthy for siblings at times, therefore we have a kids corner with a TV and various toys. We work with you to make sure your families needs are met as best as possible.

Feel free to bring snacks and food, however please be mindful to avoid foods in that cause a significant mess or stain fabric. Water only is permitted for children in an enclosed cup or drink bottle, adults having other beverages must also be consumed in a fully sealed cup, with no hot drinks around younger siblings.

Why Should We Book at 1 to 2 Weeks?

It is imperative to book a session, between no sooner than a week, and no later than two weeks after birth (full term).

Babies need to build immunity, as well as establish a feeding schedule in the first week of birth, C-Sections also . Two weeks after birth, babies will become less flexible for posing, as well as baby acne and colic.

What Should We Wear?

We recommend wearing something neutral or a colour code of no more than three different colours, try to match the colours contrast, in example avoid wearing dark and light colours where possible.

think about whether you'd like a dark or moody look or a light bright look. We will colour match what we wrap baby in to suit your clothing, we do not provide family outfits unfortunately!

C-Sections & Birth Injuries

We have a high change table station to assist with nappy changes without bending. We also don't need you to do any heavy lifting. We have cushions for support while seating and breast-feeding. If you feel suddenly ill or experience any pain, please let our photographers know as soon as possible.

If we need your assistance with safety in props will will ask the other caregiver for a hand, or we can avoid particular props where assistance is required.

In relation to birth injuries, we will need to know the details of the birth injury, as it is important we are aware for safety reasons, and to avoid exacerbation of the injury, such as partial or full hip dysplasia, broken or injured collar bones, head tissue injury, or any other injury or complication.

For a dark modern look you could try navy blues, and tan or olive or sage green, or for a bright look, you could choose white, or light neutral colours.
