Newborn Portrait
£75 Studio Session - £125 Mobile/Weekend Session
*20% discount if booked in at least 12 weeks in advance*
Recommended ​ 5-20 days new
Your newborn is the most precious gift to have and capturing them so small is an experience you will never regret as they grow and change so quickly. Those curled up fingers, dainty little toes, little wisps of hair and cute facial expressions are all captured amongst professionally trained poses to scrunch them into a variety of positions.
This is a non-refundable session fee and payment of this is how you secure your booking. This fee covers the time of the session itself and the hand editing of images from your session, for you to view in a gallery around 2 weeks after your session.
​
The session fee does not include any images.
​
After your session
Shortly after your session I will get to work on selecting the best images and retouch them as proofs for your viewing in an online gallery. This process takes up to two weeks, where you will be notified with your gallery and can decide which images you would like. Please see pricing below.

FAQ's
When should I book?
It is recommended to book in your newborn session after your 20 week scan. This may seem early, however with all the other bits and pieces you have to consider getting ready, this is one many people forget! To avoid disappointment it is best to get booked in early.
Once the deposit payment has been made, your due date is secured. I will be in contact two weeks before your due date to check in, then it's down to you! As soon as baby arrives, contact me within 24 hours to get your newborn session slot booked.
​
What if my baby has already been born?
Not a problem! It is still worth getting in contact as I have babies arrive early/late so my diary may have free gaps, and I am extremely flexible.
​
How long is the newborn session?
The photoshoot is anything between 2-4 hours. I like having as much time as possible to soothe, settle and photograph the newborn, making them feel comfortable. I understand this can seem like a long time especially if you have siblings/pets to keep occupied in the meantime. I could be finished sooner as I try to prepare the images as quickly as possible, but prepare for it to take a maximum of 4 hours.
​​​
What if my baby does not settle? Will I get a re-shoot?
Following my 'Preparation Guide' before the photoshoot, the newborn is naturally sleepy at the beginning which allows me to get those sleepy poses. If the baby is awake, I will capture some natural awake shots with the use of different props and accessories and those close-up features!
I am experienced and fully trained to handle any situation and I will allow plenty of time to soothe and settle the newborn.
​
What do I need to provide?
The session includes all backdrops, wraps, props and accessories. You will have a choice of colours and accessories to chose from at the beginning of the session. If you are formula feeding, it is best to have another bottle prepared incase baby needs topping up. Perhaps a couple of spare nappies/wipes incase we have any accidents!
Now it is time for you to relax, enjoy and watch the session.
​
What happens after the newborn session?
On the same day I will upload teaser images onto my Social Media page, only if parents have given consent to do so.
I will select the best photos and edit these in 2 weeks ready to present to you in an online gallery for you to view in the comfort of your own home.
Here you will be able to view and select what images and packages you would like.
TESTIMONIALS
"If anyone is looking for a photographer to take those precious newborn photos then Sophie is your lady! Sophie was fantastic with both my newborn and toddler! She managed to get the most beautiful photos even though baby was fighting her sleep that morning! Sophie edited the pictures super quickly and got the images to us in record timing. Cannot recommend enough, you won’t be disappointed!"

"Highly recommend this talented, patient and genuinely lovely lady to capture your special bundles of joy. She captured everything we wanted and more. The setup was quick and it was great to be able to have the option for it to be done in our own home. She has everything and more for props and special little tricks to help settle babies. We love our photos! Thank you"

"What a patient and talented lady! Thank you for fitting us in short notice and allowing us to include our three dogs in the session. It was very relaxed and we didn’t feel rushed at all. We were able to stop and feed our baby during the session. We are over the moon with our pics. Thank you so much and we will definitely recommend your services. Thanks again."
