The newborn phase goes by in a heartbeat. You've spent nine months waiting for your beautiful child to enter the world, and soon enough the emotional moment comes! But before you know it, your child will be crawling, walking and then running, leaving you with the special memory of them so small.
Don't just rely on your memory. Relive those breathtaking moments for years to come with beautiful studio photography. From start to finish, the experience will be calm, patient, relaxed and fuss-free - just what every baby and new parent needs. An Impressions Newborn photography session is unlike any other photography session in Adelaide, as we offer the best in themed photography and lifestyle photography, all in the one session.
We pride ourselves in our gentle care with newborns, and we design sessions to suit a baby for their special photography moment ... even older babies! Family is everything to us, and we treat yours as we do our own.
Below you'll find our Newborn photography gallery, and some FAQs to help you prepare for your session.
NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY FAQs
What age do you recommend for newborn photography?
We recommend newborn photography takes place when baby is two to three weeks old. Babies are very sleepy at this age, which generally makes it better for them to be handled and placed in different poses and settings.
Older babies are great to photograph too! In all cases, photography is child-led. We will try our best to get the positions and settings you’d like, but this will be determined by baby on the day. Our priority will always be the comfort and safety of baby during the session.
My baby is older than 4 weeks old. Can I still have them photographed?
Of course! We photograph babies of all ages. Older babies tend to be more alert, so we will adapt the session to suit your baby.
Can parents be included in the newborn session?
Yes of course! We include all immediate family members in our sessions and we photograph all combinations of the family during our sessions. We can also include additional family members.
How long does a newborn photography session take?
Newborn sessions generally take two hours, which is just enough time for baby to stay settled and comfortable. Of course, we are led by baby on the day, but we aim to go through at least six themes, and take photos with parents and siblings too.
We strive to provide ample time to capture all the important moments and ensure you and your family feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the session.
What should I bring to the newborn photography session?
We dress baby to suit the theme and scenes with our wraps, so there is no need to bring any clothing for baby. We do ask you to please bring a dummy to the session. Even if baby doesn’t take a dummy, it helps to have one on hand to help with settling into scenes, even if we only need it for a minute or two. We have dummies available here for purchase, if you forget.
If you’re bringing older children to the session, ensure you have enough snacks or their favourite activities to keep them occupied. We have a lounge and retreat space with access to streaming services, so your family can rest and relax while the newborn is photographed.
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
Viewing Newborn photography is such an exciting time for families, and we look forward to sharing it with you too! It usually takes us 2-3 weeks to edit and prepare your beautiful photographs for viewing. We prioritise attention to detail over speed so that you have images you’re proud to display.
Are props included in the session?
Yes, we have a full range of themes, including all the wraps, props and settings needed to achieve beautiful photographs.
If you have a sentimental item you would like us to include, you’re more than welcome to bring it along. Please include these details in the Client Form we send when you book your session.
Can I request scenes and themes for my newborn photography session?
Yes! We'd love to know what you're looking to get out of your newborn photography session. You will be sent a questionnaire to complete, which will give us the detail to design a newborn session suited to your needs.
While we aim to achieve all you're looking for during our time together, it's important to understand that newborn photography is baby-led. This means that there may be some themes or poses that we are unable to achieve safely if baby is unsettled. The comfort and safety of baby will always be our priority.
Is there onsite parking available?
Yes, there is onsite parking available at the rear of the studio.
Which payment methods do you offer?
We accept credit card, cash and electronic transfer payments.
Payment is usually made once you’ve viewed your photos and selected your package.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes we do. Please call us to discuss a plan that suits you best.
