FAQ

My beautiful studio is based in Haverhill, Suffolk. It's around a 30 minute drive from Cambridge and Braintree, and isn't far from Essex.

There's no need to bring anything in particular.

- I will provide all props and outfits.
- Please feed baby before you arrive so baby is sleepy for the start of the shoot and after the car journey. If you are not breast feeding, please bring some milk with you just incase baby needs a little feed to settle them during the shoot.
- Please also bring baby in just a baby grow so we can undress baby easily upon arrival.
- If baby usually likes to have a pacifier at home please bring it with you. A dummy is always helpful to have in the shoot but is not essential if baby doesn’t take one.

The photoshoot can take anytime between 1-2 hours, and average session being 2 hours long. This is a time when you can sit back, relax and enjoy the experience.

My sessions are always fun and relaxed, and most importantly never rushed. There is always time for baby to be fed or changed, as this can't be helped, if a babies hungry a babies hungry! I do always ask that you feed baby before arriving to the studio however so that baby is nice and sleepy for the start of the session.

Baby safety is paramount during my sessions, I will often ask for parents or a family member to help at times to be a 'spotter' to ensure your baby is safe at all times.

I would advise wearing something light in colour, whites, cream's, beiges and browns always work really well with my studios lighting and shooting style. However you are welcome to wear anything you feel comfortable with.

After the photoshoot, I will get to work editing your gallery full of beautiful images and post them onto my website here, in the 'Client Section' within 1-2 weeks. Your gallery will be password protected so only you can view your photos, and the price list will be attached in your folder for you to look through. All your photos will be copyrighted until purchased, and once you've had a look through them all you can then print screen the images you'd like and let me know through a text or Facebook message what you'd like to order. All information is on the Client Section.

I always have a lot of photos to edit, and a lot of clients to please, so please be patient with me. I know how excited you'll be but perfection takes time.

Yes, free customer parking is available at the studio.

Firstly, don't panic! Babies rarely arrive on their due dates unless booked in for a C section. If baby arrives early or late, please let me know as soon as possible and I will list availability to reschedule you if we need to. There is no extra charge for this type of reschedule as it can't be helped.

For newborn shoots I would always recommend booking in as soon as possible after your 20 week scan. Due to my BabyClub, clients are always booking in 6 months in advance for their next BabyClub sessions, so i'm always booked up well in advance.
For regular sessions I would still recommend booking in as soon as possible, as last minute availability can never be guaranteed.

Newborn babies are best photographed when they are aged between 4-21 days old. This is the time when they are the most sleepy, flexible and I am able to pose them in various ways. This is the time to capture the most beautiful images of your baby when they are at their smallest.

Anytime after this these poses can be more difficult, but not impossible, to achieve. This is because babies are less supple, less sleepy and more alert after around 3-4 weeks old. However if you are late booking please do still get in touch, we can still capture beautiful shots of your baby.

Unfortunately I don't allow pets in the studio, just for hygiene purposes. Trust me, I love all animals and I wish I could! I just like to keep the studio as hygienically clean as possible when working with newborns and little babies.

Cake smash sessions take 60-90 minutes, depending on babies mood. We'll always get portrait photos first, and family shots if you'd like to, and then the cake smash and bubble bath last.
