Newborn
As a Mummy myself, I know just how precious every moment of your child are and how quickly they grow, especially in the first few weeks after birth!
My newborn sessions take place in comfort of my home studio. It is recommended that newborn sessions take place within the first 2 weeks after your little one is born (6-12 days being the optimum time), as this is when they are the most sleepy and easiest to manipulate into the cute newborn poses. If your baby has passed this, don't worry as we may still be able to get some sleepy images, depending on the age of your little one.
I am fully insured and trained. Safety is always my number one priority when doing newborn sessions and I will ask for the assistance of a parent in posing and spotting for the baby whilst props are in use.
I always schedule newborn sessions in the morning, as this is the best time for babies sleeping pattern. Newborn sessions can last up to 4 hours depending on how quickly your baby settles and how many feeds are needed suring the session. You may feed your baby as many times as required in your session.
Booking Your Session
To book your session, please contact me to check that I have some availability for your chosen dates. Once my availability has been confirmed, you will need to pay a £5 non-refundable deposit. You can pay the deposit via Paypal or bank transfer. I will also require for you to fill in a booking form and session contract.
All sessions are tailor made to what you would like. I offer a phone consultation to all of my clients prior to all sessions so that we can discuss props, outfits, poses and ideas.
The payment for your session balance is to be paid 7 days in advance. For any last minute bookings less than 7 days in advance full payment is required at booking.
If you have booked a session on location and the weather is unsuitable on the day (heavy wind and rain etc.) your session will be rescheduled for another mutually suitable date. In these circumstances your deposit will not be lost.
After Your Session
Editing your images can take between 1 and 4 weeks, depending on my current workload. When your images are ready, they will be uploaded to my client gallery where you will have your own personal password protected gallery for you to view and select your images. Additional products must be paid for at the time of ordering. All products must be collected from Lavender Jade Photography studio. If postage is required this will be charged at cost.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me via my Facebook page or via email: lavenderjadephotography@yahoo.com
What You Need To Do Before Your Session
To make sure you baby is in the best mood possible for their session, here are a few things for you to do before you arrive on the day:
- Please feed your baby 2-3 hours before your session, and then plan to feed them once you arrive at the studio. I have facilities for you to warm your babies bottle if needed. It is best to feed them once you're here wrapped in a blanket in just their nappy, so that once they settle to sleep after their feed you're not becoming disturbed again to be undressed.
- Once your little one wakes up in the morning please try to keep them awake as much as possible until the session, as napping in the morning may affect how well they sleep duing the session.
