Questions
What should we wear for our family photo session?
We recommend simple natural colours like white, beige or soft pastels. Avoid bold patterns or logos to maintain cohesive styling. Parents may wish to bring layers for comfort in the warm studio environment.
How long do newborn photography sessions take?
Sessions typically last 2-3 hours to accommodate baby's needs, including feeding and settling periods. The actual photography time varies depending on baby's cooperation and comfort levels throughout the session.
What happens if my child becomes upset during the shoot?
We take a patient approach, allowing time for settling and play before photography begins. Sessions have no time limits, with breaks provided as needed. Our team uses gentle techniques to help children feel comfortable and engaged.
When will we receive our edited photographs?
Clients receive a private online gallery link containing 15-30 edited images within 1-2 weeks after the session. The gallery remains accessible for 30 days to allow comfortable selection of favourite images.
Can we take our own photos during the session?
For quality control, we ask clients not to use personal devices during sessions as they may interfere with our professional equipment. However, you're welcome to capture behind-the-scenes moments before or after the formal shoot.
What props and outfits do you provide?
We offer a curated selection of natural wood props, neutral wraps, and simple outfits. The studio maintains strict hygiene standards with regular prop sanitisation. Clients may bring personal items to incorporate into specific shots.
