Why should I choose Chiswick Child Photography for a newborn photoshoot?
Catherine has been photographing newborn babies and their families for over 15 years and is therefore very experienced in safely settling, posing and photographing newborn babies (including older newborns) and their families so that sessions are relaxing for babies and parents. Catherine is often described as a baby whisperer by her clients.
The Chiswick Child Photography studio has both natural light and professional Profoto lighting systems (gentle on young eyes) as well as a generous selection of newborn props and outfits. In addition there are several New Mama Gowns new mums can wear for the family photographs as well as children's dresses and Angel Wings for sibling photographs.
Catherine is experienced in editing photographs individually with a variety of specialist software to achieve the best results. Please don't worry if your baby has blotchy or flaky skin (both very normal in newborns) as this can usually be edited out.
Chiswick Child Photography has a clear package pricing structure with no hidden costs.
There are several different packages available to suit different budgets and preferences.
When is the best time for a newborn photoshoot?
The ideal time for a newborn photoshoot is when your baby is 6-21 days old. This is because babies retain their "newborn curl"/womb position until they are around ten days old and tend to be much deeper sleepers during the first three weeks which makes posing them for a variety of beautiful sleeping baby images much easier.
If your baby is born earlier than expected then please try to come once your baby reaches their due date and/or weighs at least 2.7 kilos.
If your baby is born by C Section I recommend waiting until your baby is at least two weeks old to give new mums sufficient recovery time.
Please try to book a provisional session date before your baby is born (if possible) to avoid disappointment during busy periods. This date can be changed if your baby arrives earlier or later than expected.
What if my baby is already over 3 weeks old or I need more recovery time after the birth?
Catherine is also experienced in photographing older newborns (up to 8 weeks old) and will talk to parents about timing the session to try to achieve classic sleeping poses. Older newborns tend to take longer to settle and are usually lighter sleepers so these sessions usually include more photographs of wrapped babies lying on their backs but this obviously varies from baby to baby. The advantage of later newborn sessions is that these are more likely to include a mixture of awake and sleeping photographs.
Can I feed my baby during the session?
Catherine usually recommends that parents who live locally give their baby a main feed just before leaving home and then provide top up feeds as needed during the session as this helps newborns to settle into a good sleep during the session. Parents who live further away should aim to give their baby a main feed on arrival so that the sleep window isn't wasted on the journey here.
What is included in each newborn photography package?
If your baby tends to take longer than most to settle during a newborn photoshoot you can (if I don't have another session booked in afterwards) extend your session by up to an hour for an additional price of £50.
My studio is in Chiswick, West London (London Borough of Ealing) and there are nearby public transport options and pay by phone or app parking bays close by.
