AMAZING
We had a newborn photo shoot with Maxine and it was amazing. Maxine was so friendly and helpful (and very patient as we had a baby who wouldn’t go to sleep) we have absolutely amazing photos and we loved every minute of it. Would highly recommend. Thankyou Maxine xx

EXCEPTIONAL
Maxine did newborn shoots for both my children and her images were exceptional. She is one of the best newborn photographers out there and we were very fortunate to have her capture these precious moments in life.
When should we book?
Please try to book your photoshoot as early as your 20 week scan. Newborn portrait sessions are in high demand and I get booked up in advance (I only undertake a limited amount of newborn sessions a month due to the amount of time it takes to create and edit your beautiful gallery) and so it is advisable to book as early as possible to make sure you don’t miss out.
We will make a note of your due date in our calendar to reserve your space. We will then ask you to contact us as soon as you have had baby so that we can arrange a definite date in the diary in the first few weeks of your baby’s arrival. However, occasionally, we do have last-minute availability, so please do get in touch. We would love to fit you in.
What do we need to bring?
You will need to bring plenty of milk, more is better than not enough as baby will probably feed more than usual during the session. Spare nappies, wipes, baby blanket and of course dummies if they use them. It is advisable to bring a little oil/vaseline and cotton wool if baby tends to have flaky skin, this can also be done before you leave home. You may want to bring a special toy or blanket that you would like to be featured in some of the images. We have a fabulous coffee station where you can help yourself to a variety of coffee’s, tea and biscuits. Please feel free to bring yourself a picnic a newborn session can be hungry work for parents and this is also your chance to sit back and relax and grab a bite to eat. It might be the only meal you get to have in quite a while that isn’t disturbed!
HOW LONG IS A NEWBORN SESSION?
The average session will usually be two and a half to three hours. Sometimes we do have a baby that will like to feed more often and have difficulty in settling. I work solely around the baby’s needs, nappy changing, feeding, cuddles to help soothe and settle them all take up quite a lot of time but don’t worry you will not be bored, the session will fly by. It’s a very relaxed session and the time will fly by.
ARE PARENT SHOTS INCLUDED?
Parent and sibling shots are included in every session. If you would like children in the session please be aware that young children can find this a long time. Arrangements may need to be made for young children to attend at the beginning or towards the end of the session so that they will not get bored and disturb baby throughout the session. This is particularly important with very young children under five. This is where Grandparents really come in handy! 🙂
CLOTHING.
To ensure that your images remain timeless I advise parents to think about the outfits that you are going to be worn. Plain colours work well particularly black or white. If you prefer colour then I suggest you colour co-ordinate, avoid busy patterns or printed T-Shirts.
PREPARING FOR THE SESSION.
We’re excited to provide you with a detailed “How to Prepare” guide prior to your session! This valuable resource will help you know exactly what to bring and how to help your baby arrive feeling calm and relaxed. Get ready for a wonderful experience!
ESSENTIALS.
Even if you do not give your baby a dummy/pacifier it is a good idea to bring one to the session. This is a huge help to soothe baby during the session and can make the session quicker and more straightforward rather than constant feeding that can sometimes occur. As it is used for such a short time baby will not become reliant on it if you prefer your baby not to have one. Some babies just settle better with a dummy/pacifier during the session.
You will find the studio warm and inviting. It’s a good idea to wear layers of clothing so that you can remove the layers as you may find it very warm. Coffee and tea, and cold drinks are also supplied.
