The best time to book your newborn session is while you are still pregnant. Not while you are sitting in hospital on two hours of sleep, eating a stale sandwich and trying to remember what day it is. If you know you want newborn photos, it is much easier to get it sorted before baby arrives, while your brain is still at least partly functioning.

I pencil newborns in according to due date, and then we confirm the actual session once baby is here. That means you do not need to panic if baby comes early, late, or right on cue just to show off. Booking ahead simply makes sure I can keep space for you in those early days when newborn photos are best done.

It is one less thing to think about once your baby is here, and honestly, that matters. The newborn stage is already a blur of feeds, nappies, hormones, visitors, and wondering why someone so tiny can require this much admin. Booking before baby arrives just makes life easier
