🍼 Capturing Your Baby’s Earliest Moments
The first few weeks with your newborn are such a special time — filled with sleepy smiles, tiny details and beautiful first memories. A professional newborn photography session helps you preserve these moments forever.
đź“… When to Book Your Newborn Photoshoot
The best time to photograph your baby is typically within the first 5–14 days after birth, when they’re still very sleepy and easy to pose.
Booking early (ideally during your second or third trimester) ensures availability, as newborn sessions are limited each month.
🏡 Where the Magic Happens
You can choose between a studio session in Sudbury or a home session if you’d prefer a relaxed, lifestyle feel.
My studio is designed for comfort — warm, calm, and baby-safe, with soft lighting and neutral tones that highlight your little one.
đź‘— How to Prepare for Your Session
A few simple steps can help make your session run smoothly:
Feed and change your baby before the shoot so they’re happy and sleepy.
Dress them loosely or in easy-to-remove clothing to avoid marks on their skin.
Bring sentimental items, like blankets, hats, or small keepsakes — they make lovely personal touches.
Relax — babies can sense stress! The best photos often come from quiet, natural moments.
đź’ˇ Styling and Colours
For timeless results, I recommend neutral tones such as beige, cream, and soft pastels. These colours never date and keep the focus on your baby. Props are kept simple — think wraps, baskets, and soft textures that complement, not distract.
🤍 Safety First
Your baby’s safety is always my top priority. I use gentle posing techniques and support the baby at all times. Many poses you see online are actually created with composite images — two or more photos safely blended together in editing.
🌸 After the Session
You’ll receive a beautiful online gallery of your edited images. From there, you can choose digital downloads, fine-art prints etc to display your favourites.
