How to prepare for your session

I recommend the session between 29 and 35 weeks, when the bump is round and beautiful but mum is not yet too uncomfortable or tired. The session is all about mum, but dad and siblings are welcome too!

Outdoors, we start 1 hour before sunset to catch that lovely end-of-day light: beach, countryside, town or a bit of each — I'll help you choose. It can also be in the studio, for something more intimate, or you can have the best of both and do outdoor and studio.

As for what to wear, I'll advise on what suits each setting, and the studio has a maternity wardrobe with pieces you can use.

Today is the day! Try to relax and pretend I'm not there. If it's your first photo session, don't worry: I'll help you with poses and tell you what to do. The idea is to have fun and make memories together!

Newborn sessions are best in the baby's first two weeks, when they are sleepier and more “curl-up-able”, which allows those delicious poses.

Because that window is short, it's really important to book during pregnancy to secure your spot — after the birth there is often no room left in the diary. I usually book for the due date and, since most babies don't arrive on that day, you let me know as soon as your baby is born and we set the final date.

Once you book you'll receive a questionnaire, so I can shape the session around what you hope for.

Before the date you'll receive an email with everything for the session: what to do beforehand, what to bring and the studio's location.

The session takes about 3 to 4 hours, whatever the package. The baby is in charge — I follow their rhythm, literally. I prepare the sets and props in advance from your questionnaire, but if you see something in the studio you'd like, I can swap or add it.

Every stage of your baby deserves to be remembered. Each one is unique, and some little things never come back: that pout, the toothless smile, the messy hair, the heartfelt hug for mum and dad, that little kiss…

This session takes place in the studio, at a time that doesn't clash with your baby's nap.

The session takes about 1 hour, whatever the package. I photograph your baby and your family too!

The studio has little outfits in different sizes you can use. For parents and siblings I suggest neutral tones, white or denim. For the baby's solo photos, we choose the colours together.

In this session I want to capture your smiles, hugs and cheeky glances… the special connection between you.

We start 1 hour before sunset to catch the lovely end-of-day light. It can be at the beach, in the countryside, in town or a bit of each — I'll help you choose. I'm also happy to advise on what to wear and which colours work best in each setting.

A whole year has gone by and it's time to celebrate! At this age babies are curious and love exploring, and the cake is the best way to keep them on set. Some eat it, some don't, some get covered head to toe and some only try it with a spoon… It's a lovely, original way to celebrate the first birthday!

It can be outdoors or in the studio, depending on your choice and the weather. In the studio I book a time that doesn't clash with nap time; outdoors, we start 1 hour before sunset.

The session takes about 1 hour, whatever the package. First I photograph the whole family, then just the baby, and at the end comes the “Smash the Cake”.
