FAQs
When should I book my session?
We book up months in advance so it's best to get in touch at the 20 week mark.
How do you schedule my session since I don't know exactly when my baby will arrive?
When you book a newborn session with us we go over all the details with you, answer any questions and send you all the information you will need for a great session. We hold a spot for you approximately 10 days after your due date. When your baby is born you text us within 24 hours and we will schedule a specific date. Newborn sessions are done Monday to Friday at 10am.
What age should I photograph my baby?
The best time to capture that gorgeous squishy newness is between 7-14 days. If your baby is a bit over that age, give us a call and we will do our equally popular baby session.
Where does the session take place?
Your newborn session will take place in our cozy and relaxing home studio in the picturesque village of Malahide. We have all the lights, props and blankets you will need. And we keep it toasty warm for your newborn.
How long does the session last?
Newborn sessions are schedule for two hours which allows plenty of time for feeding and settling your baby.
Can parents and siblings get in the portraits?
Absolutely! I love capturing a newborn baby in mom and dad's arms. You will love looking back at this portrait and remembering just how small your baby was. Don't worry about your sleep deprived eyes, we will brighten you up with a little touch up. Siblings have a very special bond which starts right at the beginning. Most parents find it difficult to capture their children so we do it for you. Tanya has 3 boys of her own so is well experienced in coaxing children.
What do I bring and wear?
We have just about everything you need but we will email you a guide for parent and sibling clothing before your session. Tanya will give you a call before your session to go over the details and answer any questions.
What if my baby won't sleep?
Tanya has years of experience with thousands of babies, including three of her own that has given her many tricks to relax babies. Some newborns are just too curious to go to sleep so we capture gorgeous wide eyed expressions.
What if my nappy free baby makes a mess?
Not to worry, we expect this. When the session is over you get to go home and Tanya will clean everything up. Even prior to covid, we had a thorough cleaning process.
When do I see my portraits?
We schedule an order session for you 1-2 weeks after your session. Tanya will narrow down your images to the best 20-25 for you to view in a beautiful slide show. She will then help you to select your favourites and design a stunning display for your home.
