Frequently asked questions
How have you trained to be a newborn photographer?
I began newborn photography in 2020, so I am still fairly new to it all. I’ve completed a variety of online courses, including the ‘Academy of Newborn Photography’ which requires a 100% pass mark to gain certification. The course consists of 20 subjects such as ‘Birth, Newborn Health and Safety’ and ‘Workplace Health and Safety’. I have also completed face-to-face newborn photography training with Cass Davies Photography and Kath Evans Photography who both have over 10 years’ worth of experience. Additionally, I continuously improve my knowledge and skillset by committing to various online training courses.
What age is best for a newborn photography session?
Newborn photography is best from a few days old up until about 24 days. However, babies can still be photographed over 24 days, we just keep the setups and posing a lot simpler as they are more sensitive to touch.
How long does a newborn session run?
2-4 hours depending on the baby. Newborn sessions are always led by the baby and how they are feeling. My newborn sessions take place at my photography studio in Ramsey, Cambridgeshire.
So how much do you charge?
I offer three newborn packages outlined below. To book your session I require a £50 deposit upfront, this will then be taken off the package you select.
Package 1- £175
This includes a wrapped newborn session with at least 3 different prop setups. You then select 5 large digital files from your gallery when it is ready. This session lasts around 2 hours.
Package 2- £250*
This includes a full newborn session with different poses on the bean bag and at least 3 different prop setups. You then select 10 large digital files from your gallery when it is ready and 10% off any wall art. The session lasts around 2-4 hours.
*You can upgrade to package 3 once you see your gallery, as I photograph package 2 as if you have booked package 3.
Package 3- £350
This includes a full newborn session with different poses on the bean bag, at least 3 different prop setups, and also family/sibling portraits. It includes the full gallery (around 20-30 images) and 10% off any wall art. The session lasts around 2-4 hours.

Please be advised that I use powerful magnets in my studio to hold my backdrops up. If you wear a pacemaker please let me know in advance so I can remove the magnets from my studio.
