MATERNITY AND NEWBORN SESSIONS

Congratulations! Having a baby is the most exciting time of your life. Whether it is your first or subsequent baby, they are so innocent and so brand new, that life feels like it starts all over again for you. I have three children of my own, so I have been through our baby days. One thing I remember distinctly from that time is how many collective hours I sat there staring at our newborn. Watching every finger move with such breathtaking grace, watching all those beautiful and funny faces they pull, and of course taking in just how small this little person actually is, laying here in my arms. Those special moments of these tiny babies are gone so quickly. It is my aim to capture these little moments in time for you to remember just how small and new they were.

WHEN TO COME TO ME

Maternity

I like to photograph my lovely ladies around Week 34. This is at a time when your belly is wonderfully big but not too close to your due date so we do not risk missing the opportunity to photograph your belly bump, should your baby decide to come early.

Newborn

The best time to have your baby’s session is around Day 7, and no later than Day 10, if possible. This is because they are very sleepy after birth and are much more inclined to be settled and willing to be photographed. Sometimes, unforeseen medical circumstances can delay your session, so we will work around any issues should they arise. If that initial window of opportunity has to be delayed, I can photograph your newborn right up to 6 weeks of age.

Please allow 4 hours for your baby’s session. The length of the session can vary depending upon how settled your baby is that day. Further preparation information will be sent to you prior to your session.

There is no need to bring special clothing for your baby’s session as I provide all the necessary styling. I include 3-4 props in your session as well.

Please do not feel pressured to have photos with your baby if you wish not to. Some parents wish only for their baby to be photographed. You are entitled to a 4 hour session regardless of whether you are in it or not.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

All my packages are digital packages. I understand we live in a digital world nowadays and most of the time my clients are only interested in digital images for electronic use. Unlike some other photographers, I am okay with that. Not everyone wants images on their walls or, for other reasons, are not able to hang images on their walls. The most important goal is photographing your brand new baby in the first week of life before the time races away.

I will give you access to a private gallery of images to choose your final images from in accordance with your package. If you wish to purchase extra images outside the package allowance, the following costs apply:

• $30 per high resolution digital file for 1-4 images; or
• $20 per high resolution digital file for 5 or more images

Images are provided as jpeg files, both in High Resolution (no watermarks) and Low Resolution (with watermarks).

BOOKING YOUR SESSION

I will send you a no-obligation quote for your chosen session that also sets out more detailed information about your shoot. A $150 non-refundable deposit is required within 14 days of confirming your booking date – this will secure your session with me, and cover the cost of the session. The remainder of the fee is to be paid prior to or on the day of the session, unless a Payment Plan* is in place.

**Your session cannot go ahead until your deposit has been paid.

BABY SHOWER GIFT CERTIFICATE

My newborn session makes for the perfect Baby Shower Gift! I could think of no better gift to give expectant parents – stylised images of their brand new baby. Please contact me for information about my Baby Shower Gift Certificate.

*PAYMENT PLAN

When it comes to having babies, I understand finances can be challenging. This is why I have a simple, interest-free Payment Plan available for you. My Payment Plan can be used on all my sessions. Do not hesitate to ask me about this and I will send you further information.
