Sandra offers both in home "lifestyle" newborn photography and studio newborn photography.  Both result in beautiful images of you baby however they offer a very different experience and style of imagery.  We have a page dedicated to lifestyle photography that you can find here.

Newborn Lifestyle Sessions

Studio Sessions

Some of the reasons you might consider a studio session

• The temperature is controlled to keep baby warm and cozy throughout the session 
• You have access to our range of props, blankets 
• We have full control of the light in the studio
• You may not feel like bringing people into your home.  Let's face it - you're probably sleep deprived, have had a steady stream of visitors, the washing is piling up and the last thing you want is to tidy up for a photographer.  I definitely don't expect a spotlessly clean home but I get it, if you are going to the trouble to book a professional photographer you may feel you need to tidy.
• The style of imagery is a lot more posed that a lifestyle session

Your newborn session includes the following:

• Pre consultation - this is where we discuss how the session will run, what to bring, what to wear, colours and props to be used in the session etc.
• 2-3hr photography session in our studio - we allow plenty of time for feeding, changing and settling baby between poses
• includes photos of your baby alone and photos with parents
• use of our wraps, props, headbands, blankets etc
• design and purchasing consultation 
• prints, products, digital files etc are not included in your session fee - you will receive a product and pricing information on enquiry

If you would like to include photos of siblings and or grandparents with your newborn we will schedule two sessions.

Session A - newborn alone (approx. 2hrs)

Session B - newborn with parents, siblings, grandparents (1hr)

Your gallery of images to choose from will include photos from both sessions. 

The safety of your baby is paramount in all newborn sessions.

Infection control

• Sandra is up to date on immunisations including whooping cough and covid 19. 
• All blankets, wraps and soft props used are washed after every session
• Hard surface props are are sprayed using Glen 20
• The studio is cleaned after every newborn session
• Sandra will wear a mask during newborn sessions
• In the event you/a family member/or myself is unwell your session will be rescheduled 

Baby handling

• Sandra has many years experience handling newborn babies in the studio. She also is a mother of two boys (well grown men) and grandmother of 2. 
• Your baby will be supported at all times and a spotter used when necessary
• Specific poses are not guaranteed as each baby is different and will be comfortable in different poses 
• When shooting newborns from overhead, a camera strap is used.
