Newborn and Baby Photographer in Medway Kent - FAQ
How much are your photoshoots?
Please see the 'pricing' page for a full list of packages and prices.
Can you come to me?
Yes! I can travel within 5 miles of Lordswood, Kent for a £65 travel and setting up fee. Please contact me for a quote on travel outside of 5 miles.
When should I book my session?
As soon as possible! Especially for a weekend date as they book up well in advance. For a newborn session, around the 22 week scan is ideal as I only take 2 newborn bookings a week.
My baby has just been born, have I left it too late to book?
Due to the nature of how we book babies in and them arriving early/late, we do occasionally have very last minute slots available and may be able to book you in.
What happens when I book a newborn shoot?
Newborns are best photographed under 2 weeks old (to get those lovely sleepy poses). This is when they are truly new! We all know that babies arrive when they are ready, early or late, so a confirmed date is only set once they are born. It is very important to book your newborn session with me as early as possible to the 22 week mark as I cannot guarantee that I will have an available slot after this. As we only book a set date once baby is born, it is important to let us know as soon as possible once you have given birth, within 24 ours is best or at the latest within 48 hours to ensure that we get you in those first 2 weeks!
What happens at the newborn shoot?
Once I have a confirmed booking, you will be sent a Newborn Preparation Guide to your email address to explain what happens and how to prepare beforehand.
What if my child is not happy/doesn't want to smile or baby does not cooperate?
I try my very best to get those beautiful natural smiles out of the little ones. However, in the unfortunate case of this happening, this is sadly out of my hands. When working with children, they are always in charge. If there isn't a happy child, there is only so much we as adults can do to try and change how they are feeling. Some newborn babies are also naturally unsettled. In this case, we try wrap them up so they feel safe and can get some beautiful shots this way. Some poses would be unsafe/uncomfirtable to attempt in the case of an unsettled baby. You are more then welcome to book another session, but this will be charged at my standard price.
When is the best time to have my 3 months + session?
Any age is great, however, around 6 months (or just sitting) is a wonderful time to capture them! They are relaxed, able to sit relatively and full of personality.
Do you edit all your images?
Yes I do! Every image that you receive has been hand-edited to a high standard..
What happens after the session?
I hand pick the very best images out of the session to edit (usually around 20-30). It takes around 7 to 10 days to edit all images. Once they are ready, we will schedule a convenient time for bronze bookings to come and view and choose your final selections. All silver and gold bookings include an online gallery to view from the comfort of your home.
Can I buy more images after the session?
You are more than welcome to!
Do you offer Gift cards?
Yes I do! I offer gift cards for a particular amount or a full session. Please contact me to inquire.
