Newborn portraits
(up to 12 weeks)

One of the greatest moments, is knowing that your newborn is in the safe care of an established and knowledgeable studio.  The art of newborn photography is one which requires a lot of patience waiting for your new addition to settle down and most importantly a calming environment.  We only photograph newborns on a weekday so we can allocate the important three hour time slot which is necessary to ensure we get the infamous sleeping shots you view on our website.  We don’t believe in “quick or snap” shots – only crafting photographic art-pieces to be beautifully displayed and cherished at this monumental moment.

To reserve your newborn portraiture session, we advise getting in touch whilst pregnant to pop a date in the diary.  Where possible, newborns should be photographed under 2 weeks of age, but if you have missed this window of opportunity, please do still get in touch as our lovely team are very talented at photographing babies of all ages.

We have a fully equipped studio to handle newborns and babies with underfloor heating, room heater and also air conditioning to cool every one down.  Extra newborn props are constantly being introduced like hammocks, carts, baskets just to name but a few, are made available and are consistently washed or sterilised for your baby’s comfort.

What's the best age to photograph a newborn?

The younger the baby, the better – preferably 2 weeks or younger. They are less likely to be disturbed while sleeping and are more "pliable" and less likely to have newborn acne which usually flares up around 3 weeks of age. The best ages we've found are between 6-10 days old.

Can parents jump in?

Its a lovely experience for both parents and we often like to capture the "family" so it's an obvious setting. We're able to do the shoots in the weekday where it's lovely and quiet in the studio, as often dad is on paternity leave in the first two weeks as well.

Is your studio equipped to handle newborns?

We have underfloor heating as well as a room heater and air conditioner (when required), as well as "props" that are washed or sterilised for your baby's comfort.

What age is classed as newborn?

Newborn is classed from the day baby is born to 12 weeks max.

What do I bring?

It's a good idea to bring extra milk so we can top baby up and make them nice and sleepy. It's also a good idea to bring extra outfits for baby AND mum and dad (in case of any accidents whilst moving a naked baby) It's a good idea to bring layering pieces for your little one, so we can get them used to our studio environment and strip them down slowly. Lastly – don't forget to bring a blanket to help keep baby warm as well as to settle them in.

How far in advance should I book the session?

As soon as you decide you would like us to do your photoshoot, please book your session, we can normally slot you in if it's last minute too!

What props do you have?

We've spent a long time researching and purchasing baby friendly props and backdrops, so we do have a lot to offer, call us for a chat if you have something specific in mind.

Why do you call it Wall Art?

Not only are we creating photographic memories, but we are creating a personalised Art Piece for you to enjoy in years to come.
