Calm, Baby-Led Newborn Sessions

Those first few weeks can feel like a blur.

You’re learning your baby, learning yourself, and trying to keep everything afloat while surviving on very little sleep.

A newborn session with me is designed to feel unhurried, warm and genuinely supportive.

You don’t need to “prepare” your baby.
You don’t need to arrive looking perfect.
You don’t need to worry if baby cries.

Babies cry. Babies feed. Babies need cuddles.

That’s all completely normal.

My job is to work around your baby, not the other way around.

 

When to Book

Newborn sessions are ideally photographed within the first two weeks, when babies are often sleepier and more settled.

That said, every baby is different. If birth, recovery or a NICU stay has meant life hasn’t quite gone to plan, we’ll simply adapt the session around your baby.

The best time to book is during your third trimester. I’ll reserve a flexible space around your due date and we’ll confirm the exact session once baby arrives.

Safety Always Comes First

I’m trained in safe newborn handling and posing, and your baby’s comfort and wellbeing will always come before any photograph.

Nothing is ever forced, rushed or expected.

More Than Digital Images

I’ve always loved photographs that live beyond a screen.

The ones hanging on the wall.

The ones tucked inside albums.

The ones children discover years later and realise just how loved they were.

That belief comes from a very personal place. For years, I thought there were no photographs of me as a baby until I discovered an undeveloped roll of film in my dad’s old camera.

Those photographs became some of my most treasured possessions.

It’s one of the reasons I care so much about creating images that don’t just live on a phone, but become part of your family’s story.

Newborn Photography FAQs!

When should I book my newborn session?

Book while pregnant. I reserve around your due date and confirm once baby arrives.
I reserve space around your due date rather than a fixed date. Once baby arrives, we simply confirm the exact session day together. This means you don't need to worry if baby arrives earlier or later than expected.

What if my baby won't sleep?

Don't worry. Every session is baby-led with time for feeds and cuddles.
Please don't worry about sleep. Some babies snooze for most of the session, while others prefer a few extra cuddles. We allow plenty of time for feeding, settling and breaks whenever needed.

Can parents be in the photos?

Absolutely. Parent portraits are included in every session.
Yes. Parent and family portraits are one of the most meaningful parts of a newborn session. Many families tell me these become some of their favourite photographs years later.

What if my baby is in NICU?

Baby's health comes first. We simply wait until they're ready.
If your baby needs extra care after birth, there is absolutely no pressure to rush into a session. We'll simply wait until they're home and thriving, then choose a date that feels right for your family.

What age is best for newborn photos?

The first 1–3 weeks are ideal for sleepy newborn portraits.
Most newborn sessions take place within the first 1–3 weeks after birth. Babies tend to be sleepier during this stage, making those curled-up newborn portraits easier to achieve. If your baby is older, don't worry — beautiful photographs are still possible.

What if my baby arrives early or late?

No problem. We simply adjust the session date.
Babies rarely arrive exactly on schedule. Your due date is used as a guide when booking, and once baby arrives, we confirm the exact session date together.

How long does a newborn session take?

Most sessions last around 2–3 hours.
My Newborn sessions are unhurried and allow plenty of time for feeding, changing and settling. Every baby is different, so we simply follow their lead throughout the session.

Can siblings join too?

Yes. Brothers and sisters are always welcome.
Sibling portraits are one of my favourite parts of a newborn session. We usually photograph siblings first before focusing on baby on their own.

Are dogs allowed?

Yes. Friendly family dogs are welcome.
Dogs are part of the family too. If your dog is comfortable around new people, they're welcome to join us for a few family portraits before we focus on baby.

Do you provide wraps and outfits?

Yes. Everything for baby is provided.
The studio is fully stocked with wraps, blankets, headbands, bonnets and carefully selected newborn outfits. You don't need to bring anything special for baby.

What should we wear?

Simple, neutral clothing photographs beautifully.
Creams, beiges, taupes, earthy tones and black photograph beautifully. I generally recommend avoiding bright white clothing, as it can draw attention away from baby.

What happens after the session?

You'll return to view your finished gallery.
A few weeks after your session, you'll come back to the studio for your Viewing & Ordering Appointment where you'll see your images for the first time and choose your favourites.

How many images will I see?

Most families view around 20–25 images.
You'll be presented with a carefully curated gallery of finished images from your session. From there, you can choose the collection that feels right for your family.

Do you offer wall art and albums?

Yes. Your images can become beautiful artwork.
From framed wall art to handcrafted albums and keepsake products, I'll help you choose pieces designed to be enjoyed long after the session itself.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Interest-free payment plans are available.
Many families choose to spread the cost over several months. Interest-free payment plans are available on selected collections and artwork purchases.

Where is your studio?

My studio is located in Glanmire, Cork.
My studio is located at Unit 28, Glanmire Business Park, Cork (T45 YC82). You'll find it in the same business park as Monkey Maze, just at the other end. Parking is available right outside the studio.

What does a newborn session feel like?

Warm, relaxed, and completely baby-led.
Most parents sit back, have a tea or coffee, and simply enjoy the experience while I work with their baby. There’s no pressure to perform or keep baby asleep — we simply follow your baby's lead throughout the session.

Is the session safe for my baby?

Absolutely. Newborn safety comes first.
I'm professionally trained in newborn posing and handling. Every pose is done slowly and safely, with baby fully supported at all times. I never force a pose and always work within your baby's comfort.
paediatric, cpr, aed

What do I need to bring?

Very little — most things are provided.
I provide wraps, outfits, blankets and styling. Just bring nappies, wipes, feeding supplies, a dummy if you have one, and a spare change of clothes for baby.

How should I dress my baby?

A simple onesie is perfect.
A loose, easy-to-remove outfit helps me transition baby into wraps and poses with minimal disturbance. The simpler the better.
