What’s the best age to photograph?

The best time to photograph your newborn baby is during the first 10 days of his or her life. This is a very special time because they are changing so quickly and it’s important to remember all those little details: their tiny toes, their wrinkled skin, their newborn cry. Don’t worry if your baby is a little bit older… get in touch, Claire loves capturing all ages.

When should I book a session?

If you have a due date you can book your session using that date as a guide. Once your baby is born we’ll schedule it as soon as you’re ready. If you’ve already had your baby, you can check availability using the calendar. The important thing is to get your name down as early as possible.

Your session.

All sessions will take place in your own home, Claire works exclusively with natural light so don’t worry about space. Home is where baby and mum are most comfortable during those early days and so the session will revolve around baby’s schedule with plenty of breaks for feeding and changing. There’s no rush, expect sessions to last 1-2 hours.

What should we wear?

Babies look their best au natural, clothes tend to swamp them and nappies are ugly. For this reason, before the session, heat your house so your baby will be comfortable with no clothes on. If you have a favourite blanket then let Claire know and she’ll decide if it will work. If you are going to be in the photos wear something casual and simple, try to avoid white and anything with a collar.
