Newborns
0-2 months
Newborn session in my home studio Cudworth, Barnsley
Natural and real newborn photography. With baby safety in mind first.
In every newborn photo session, my goal is to give you a great experience and capture your baby just the way she/he. I'm posing newborns just in natural and comfortable poses. The most important thing for me is the safety of newborns.
I know that the first few weeks after a baby is born can be overwhelming and blurry, but photos of your beautiful little human will help you remember those first moments better.
When is the best time to schedule a newborn photo session?
The best time to book a newborn session is after a 20-week scan. I'm scheduling your photo session about a week after the due date, but if baby comes earlier or later, you always can change your session day.
Last minute bookings are also welcome, if I have availability.
How to book newborn photo session?
You can send me an email at g.silkphotography@gmail.com or message me on my social media. If you want to call me before making a booking, please let me know and I will send you my number.
I'm asking £20 deposit to secure your newborn session time and date.
How long do newborn sessions last?
Session time depends on the package you choose and, of course, your baby. I understand that you don't want to spend a half day at my studio, which is why I'm trying to let you go home as fast as possible. A typical newborn photo session lasts around 2 hours. If the baby needs more feeding or cuddle time, then the photo session may last longer.
What do I need to bring for the newborn photo session?
Newborn, baby milk if you are not breastfeeding, nappies, and a dummy if you are using one. After you book a newborn photo session with me, I will send you more information on how to prepare for the session.
How long will I have to wait for my photos?
I will send you photos to choose from in an online gallery 3–5 days after your photo session. When you choose your favourites, I will fully edit your photos in up to 2 weeks.
Newborn Session Collections
All packages include your photo session, hand-edited images, and the ability to choose your favourites from an online gallery.
With every collection, you will also receive 3 unedited photographs of your baby — chosen by the photographer — as a natural keepsake of how your baby looked in the moment.
