Bella Daly Newborn Questionnaire

This questionnaire helps me prepare your session so it feels calm, personal, and easy when you arrive.
There are no right or wrong answers — and you can skip anything you’re unsure about.

ABOUT YOU & YOUR BABY
Parent/Guardian Name
(If yes, please bring it along — even if you don’t usually use one. It can be incredibly helpful during transitions between poses and helps keep baby settled and comfortable. If baby doesn’t take one, that’s completely fine too.)
SESSION DETAILS & FAMILY
i.e. favourite blanket, family keepsake, dad's fireman hat, musical instrument, regional outfit, meaningful items, etc.
YOUR HOME & COLOUR & STYLING PREFERENCES
When it comes to the overall feel of your newborn photos, which do you naturally prefer? *
Styling Preference (helps me prep your session)
WHAT MATTERS MOST TO YOU
images to treasure forever, images to display on my social media, to hang on the home walls, something else...
For the sleepy, curled-up poses, how would you like baby to be styled? (Click on the image to select)
All sessions are baby-led and safety-first. I’ll only use poses that feel comfortable for your baby on the day, and some setups may change depending on how they’re feeling. Gentle wrapping is often used between sets to help baby stay cosy and settled.
Which moments are most important to you? (select any that feel meaningful)
This is just a guide for me — not a checklist. I’ll always follow your baby’s pace and comfort on the day.
If there are any images from my portfolio that you would like me to incorporate into our photoshoot, please feel free to let me know. Just send me some screenshots! You can do so via email (belladaly@belladaly.com), Instagram (@bella.daly.photography) or WhatsApp (0870540111).
CLOTHING & STYLING FOR PARENTS
Soft, neutral tones photograph beautifully. Avoid bright white, logos, and busy patterns — comfort matters most.
COMFORT, WORRIES & EDITING PREFERENCES
This might include things like: skin or nail concerns, scars or marks, arms, tummy, or neck areas, hairline or thinning hair, or anything else you’d prefer softened or adjusted

FINAL QUESTIONS
How did you hear about me?
From time to time, I share a small selection of images from sessions across my platforms. This simply helps other parents get a feel for my work. I never share names or personal details. No pressure either way — please let me know what feels right for you:
Thank you for supporting my small business — it truly means so much to me.
HEALTH & SAFETY (IMPORTANT)
Because I work closely with newborns, I ask that sessions are rescheduled if anyone in your household is unwell (coughs, colds, fever, tummy bugs, etc.). This is completely normal and always the right thing to do — there’s no problem or penalty in rescheduling. Keeping the studio a healthy space protects your baby, other families, and mine too. Please just let me know if anything comes up.
