Newborn session guide
A GUIDE TO BOOKING YOUR NEWBORN SESSION
Imagine that it’s 18 yrs from now…. that little person who’s wriggling inside you & kicking you all the time has just finished their HSC and is about to take off on a gap year trip around Europe….
You are struggling to remember those first few days after they arrived… when they fit in your arms and laid on your chest to sleep.. those little sounds as they slept, the way their eyelids fluttered when they were dreaming.. The little hands that could wrap around your finger and those sweet expressions as they tried to hard so focus on your face.
Now it’s all a blur…
When they are tiny we think we will remember .. but life passes by too quickly… and we forget.
Don’t rely on your memory for those precious moments, let us capture them for you so you will be able to remember them forever.
A little about us: we are located at Gordon, on Sydney's North Shore. Our studio space has been designed to emulate a natural, homely setting including our amazing huge arched windows, a fireplace, a bed and seating where your children and family members will feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the session. We also have a range of stunning props that we can incorporate as part of your session. The beautifully light controlled environment has been arranged to create timeless yet modern black and white portraits and stunning colour portraits. It is a pet-friendly environment, and we welcome any kind of pets for your session.
We photograph babies, kids, families, and pets and create beautiful artwork for your family to have forever.
| WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY NEWBORN SESSION? |
|---|
|
When we are booking your newborn session, we will reserve a time for around 10 days after your due date. We know that babies never arrive exactly when expected so we can move this time around if needed. Reserving the time means that we can make sure that we can fit in a session time for you.
While we recommend that the best timing for newborn photos is within the first 2 weeks, we understand that sometimes it can be tricky to make it out of the house in the first few weeks, so if you need to wait a little longer that is totally fine with us. |
| WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE A C-SECTION? |
| When you come in for your session, our focus is on looking after mum, especially if she has had a caeserean. We have comfortable lounges so you can sit and feed in private. We have water & snacks for you. So there is nothing you need to worry about.
|
| CAN I INCLUDE SIBLING & FAMILY PHOTOS? |
| Our focus on our newborn sessions is to celebrate your little ones arrival in your family, so we only photograph newborns as a family session. Mums, we understand that you will have just given birth, so we focus on looking after you and making sure you look amazing in your photos.
We love to include older siblings in these sessions. There is nothing more magical to see the wonder and amazement of an older child at their brand new baby sibling. We photograph kids of all ages, so no matter what their age is, we will be able to capture some special memories of this special new relationship. |
| WHAT DOES MY VOUCHER INCLUDE? |
| Your voucher covers up a full maternity/newborn/baby or family session in our studio at Gordon, normally valued at $100. It also includes $150 credit towards photos.
|
| ARE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER IMMUNIZED? |
| All our staff are fully immunized. Your babies helath and safety is one of our highest priorities.
|
| WHEN ARE SESSIONS PHOTOGRAPHED? |
| Sessions are photographed Tuesday-Friday between 9am and 2pm If this is your first bub we recommend a 12pm session. This will allow plenty of time for you to get yourself ready for your session without stressing. It allows time for your baby to have a good feed before your arrive,
If you have older children we always want to work around nap times. So if they are still having a lunchtime nap we receommend a 10am session. |
| HOW MUCH ARE THE PHOTOS? |
| Our print prices start at $95 and range up from there depending on the size you are after. We offer digital file packages, and a digital option that allows you to share digitally any photos you order. We accept all credit cards including AMEX and we have payment plans from $200 per month available at no additional cost. |
