Ideally within the first 6 days to 4 weeks for sleepy, curly portraits. Older babies (5 weeks+) are captured via our milestone sessions.

Our sessions are entirely baby-led and unhurried. We build in plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and transitions.
Wardrobe & Styling
Do you provide outfits for everyone?
We supply dresses for mamas and wraps/outfits for newborns. Partners, siblings, and older babies supply their own clothing.
What should the rest of the family wear?
After booking, we email you a simple guide covering coordinated neutral palettes, fabric suggestions, and items to avoid.
