Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see an example Newborn Session?          Yes, watch our 'Behind the Scenes' video below

How old is recommended for a newborn photography Session?

1 - 4 weeks

We have photographed babies from as young as 3 days old, on the way home from the hospital.

Ideally we recommend from around 1 weeks to 4 weeks for the true newborn session. This way they are still super sleepy and  teeny tiny.

Every birth & baby is different, so we do suggest speaking with us if your baby is slightly older or if  Mum needs a little more time to be comfortable during the shoot. We want you to enjoy the session, as much as the images themselves. Keeping in mind, we do all the hard work of positioning and settling. Parents can sit back and relax, whist we go to work. Yes, we have had parent fall asleep watching! Please bring a dummy.

All staff are whopping cough vaccinated & double vaccinated against Covid 19. Masks are mandatory in studio also.

My baby is over 4 weeks old, can i still get them photographed?

Yes,

We photograph

all ages 

Of course! We photography at any age. Our experience of shooting professionally for over 26 years, gives us the  confidence to shoot at any age. 

An infant shoot may vary a little from a newborn session. As once baby reaches around 4 weeks of age (or younger dependant on birth weight & strength) they don't allow us to bundle them up and they like to stretch out. They are also awake a lot more and have much stronger necks. The photography is adapted to reflect this. Meaning you may have seen an image online that you love and would like to have your baby photographed in a similar fashion, but  your baby is older or doesn't want to be positioned like this; Then we can only photograph your baby in positions it allows us and is safe. for baby Some shots you see are only possible at 2-4 weeks and in a deep sleep. You will still get beautiful images!

Can  parents and siblings be in the photography session?

Yes.

All included, no additional fees

We include all the family in our sessions. 

There are no hidden fees or charges for siblings, parents or even grandparents being apart of the shoot.

We photograph all combinations of the family during our sessions.

I am not sure what package I want to buy... Is that ok?

Yes,

You don't have to decide until you see your images!

We don't make our clients pre purchase or even decide on a package until they see all their images.

What do I have to bring for my Session?

A Dummy,

Clothing, food and entertainment for siblings.

We require a Dummy for all newborn and infant sessions! This is a vital piece of equipment, whether baby takes one normally or if you are against the use of Dummies. We do need this to settle baby on the day. You can dispose of it straight after the session if you wish. We promise baby won't become attached to it after the session. Without a dummy, we may not be able to settle baby and some positions won't be achieved.

Please bring your clothing and all that you would normally require for a 2 hour outing.

Sessions can be boring for older siblings, so please bring anything that they  enjoy to keep them entertained during the  time they are not being photographed.; Ipads, books, colouring in  & toys.

The studio has always maintained a very high standard of cleanliness & hygiene practices. We have instrumented additional practices in to the studio that go beyond the recommendations of the S.A governments and SA Health, we have done this to keep our staff and our valued clients as safe as we can during this unprecedented time.

We have reached out for advice and have been instructed by SA Health via their ‘SA COVID-19 Business operations Information’, that OUR STUDIO is in a position to keep photographing Adelaide families, as we are following all of the state government guidelines and restrictions. We are following the business density requirements and the restrictions on the number of people gathering at any one time.

The social distancing principles require a person to attempt to maintain a space of at least 1.5 metres between them and each other person present in the same premises.

Our studio (70 m2 and 67 m2 ) has more than the legislated density requirements for the social distancing of 4 m2 per person. Following the State governments restrictions, the studio can hold no more than 10 peoples or staff and 7 additional people at any one time, keeping to the social distancing requirements at the same time that require a person to attempt to maintain a space of at least 1.5 metres between them and each other person.
