Frequently Asked Questions
BOOKING A SESSION
-
Newborn photography is best done within 7 to 21 days of your baby’s arrival . During this time, babies tend to be more flexible and are in a sleepier state, making it easier to pose them in different positions.
-
You can book a session anytime before your baby is born. However, we do recommend booking your session as early as possible to ensure that you are able to secure a session within 7 to 21 days of baby’s arrival.
-
1. Kindly fill up the form here. This would help us understand your preferences better and allow us to customise the stylings aligned to your liking.
2. An email will be sent to you to confirm the necessary details. To secure your booking, you will be required to sign a contract and make a deposit. -
We understand that this is a sensitive period for both the parents and the baby as the early days can be quite unpredictable.
We intentionally take on only a limited number of sessions each month to allow for flexibility in rescheduling in the event of an early/delayed delivery, or if baby requires further medical attention.
Mummies’ and babies’ health and safety is of the utmost importance to us. Let us know should you need to reschedule and we can discuss on a suitable alternative date. -
Yes. Kindly note that there will be an additional fee of $100. This accounts for the transportation of props, photography equipment and on-site set-up and tear down of equipment and props.
For all in-home photography sessions, we would need your help to clear out an area (ideally 210cm x 210cm) for us to set-up the photography equipment and props.
We understand that parents can be especially tired during this time as you are trying to get used to a new routine. We want you feel rested and comfortable throughout the session. Let us do the hard work while you get some much needed rest!
PREPARING FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION
-
Depending on the package you have chosen, the photoshoot will take between 2 to 4.5 hours. This will allow ample time for feeding and soothing to keep your baby comfortable throughout the session!
While we would love to get in on as many poses as possible, the pace of each newborn photography session is largely determined by your baby. We pay close attention to your baby's cues such as his/her mood, body language, and the comfort level in a certain pose, and would never force a pose. As such, one set up/pose can require a long preparation time before the shot is taken.
Lastly, if you have opted for in-home sessions, we also take into account the time needed to set up all photography equipment. -
Absolutely! Each set utilises carefully curated props from all over the world to create the most beautiful images for you. Kindly be assured that all props are sanitised/cleaned prior to and after each session. Feel free to let us know should you have any preferred colour themes or specific props you would like to incorporate!
Kindly note that we do not provide outfits for parents/siblings/other family members for the family portraits. -
We would normally recommend for parents to feed baby before the session to ensure that baby is well-fed and comfy during the session.
Kindly also help to prepare the following items:
1. Pacifier to soothe baby if needed
2. Wet wipes
3. Sufficient sets of clean diapers
4. Sufficient doses of milk to last the session
Each session caters for ample time to feed, nurse, change and soothe baby so don’t worry if your little one requires more attention on any of these areas :) -
Neutral colours and tones, such as white, cream, soft pink/blue, earthy browns, grey, and black, are recommended. Kindly avoid any logos and patterns. It would be best if all members could wear similar/matching colours/tones. Above all, make sure you feel confident and comfortable!
AFTER THE SESSION
-
All images are edited in-house and the final images will take between four (4) to six (6) weeks (starting from the date of the photoshoot) to be completed. While we are excited for clients to view the final images as soon as possible, we want to ensure that only the finest quality is presented to you.

* All selected images will be further retouched and the rest of the un-selected images will be removed from the gallery accordingly
Final gallery:
* The final gallery will be ready two (2) weeks after you have completed your image selection. All final images will be fully retouched, in high-resolution, canvas-ready and made available for download from your online galleryThe number of images you may select is dependent on your chosen package.
