The ideal window is 5–14 days after birth when babies sleep deeply and curl naturally. However, beautiful sessions can be done up to 6 weeks — we’ll focus on their unique personality at this stage. Flexibility is key!

Sessions typically last 2–4 hours, with no rushed time limits. We’ll pause for feeding, nappy changes, or cuddles. Unlike many London studios (which cap at 1.5 hours), I prioritise your baby’s comfort over strict schedules.

Your little one’s well-being is my top priority. I:

• Use only hypoallergenic, organic fabrics (no cheap synthetics like some studios);
• Am certified in newborn first aid;
• Composite all posed images (e.g., parents’ hands always support baby, even if edited out later).

Absolutely! My «clean organic» approach focuses on authentic connections — your hands holding them, their tiny yawns, your quiet joy. Props are optional (though I offer delicate, neutral-toned wraps if desired).

Soft palettes ensure your images remain timeless and keep the focus on emotions. However, we can incorporate meaningful pops of colour (e.g., a grandparent’s knitted blanket or sibling’s toy).

Both! My Chelsea studio has climate control and sanitised setups for classic portraits. Home sessions capture your family’s true essence — their nursery, your bed’s morning light. Many clients book a hybrid session (50/50 split).

Of course! Pets are family. I’ll send a prep guide (e.g., tiring them out pre-session) to ensure calm, adorable interactions.

My fees reflect:

• 10+ years’ expertise (500+ newborns photographed);
• Hand-editing each image (no batch presets);
• Lifetime archival — free backup if files are lost.

Yes! A popular choice for grandparents. My vouchers include a bonus «Then & Now» mini-album (e.g., newborn + first birthday sessions) — unique to my service in London.

Some of my favourite images feature wide-eyed babies — their first gazes, stretches, or gripping your finger. We’ll follow their lead.

Absolutely. These are your memories as much as your baby’s. I’ll guide you into natural, flattering interactions (no stiff posing).

You’ll get 25–35 hand-edited high-resolution images within 2–3 weeks (vs. 7–10 days at rushed studios). I prioritise quality over speed, ensuring each image is perfected.

No, as RAW files are unedited and don’t reflect my artistic style. But all delivered images include full printing rights and are optimised for albums/canvases.

Yes, I delicately retouch temporary skin imperfections while keeping your baby’s natural texture (unlike overly airbrushed styles some studios use).

I’ll use white noise, swaddling, and warmth to soothe them. If needed, we’ll reschedule — no extra fee. 80% of my sessions start with tears but end with calm!

I direct parents into flattering, natural poses (forehead kisses, cradling baby close). Soft lighting and neutral tones minimise shadows. You’ll see only love, not exhaustion.

Yes, with extra precautions. I’ve worked with preemies as small as 2 lbs — slower pace, hospital-grade sanitisation, and adjusted poses. Parents receive a discounted «Little Fighter» package.

Absolutely. I use adjustable lighting setups and edit to enhance each family member’s unique undertones (no «one-light-fits-all» approach).

For babies under 3 months, I recommend studio or home sessions — their temperature regulation is too delicate for British winters. For older babies, we’ll plan a short outdoor segment with warm wraps.

Yes, but subtly — think neutral holiday textures (cashmere stockings, evergreen sprigs) rather than loud «Santa hats». These blend seamlessly with my timeless style.

I have provided a free digital archive for 5 years + a guide on professional printing (avoiding fading from high-street labs). Upgrade to a handmade heirloom album for £200.

Yes! My «First Year Collective» includes 3 sessions (newborn, sitting up, first birthday) at a 15% discount. Many London studios charge each separately.

I’ll reshoot or refund your parent portraits — but in 8 years, no one’s asked! My framing focuses on connections, not «perfection».

Of course! I allocate extra time for family groupings. Siblings get breaks with toys to avoid meltdowns.

With warmth and respect! Your family’s story is unique, and I’ll capture it authentically.

After every client, I:

• Steam-clean all fabrics at 90°C (most London studios use only spray disinfectants);
• Immerse props in baby-safe antibacterial solution;
• Wash hands with hospital-grade sanitiser before touching your baby.

Only with your written consent. I offer 3 privacy tiers:

1. Full anonymity (no sharing, even as examples);
2. Private gallery (password-protected for family only);
3. Featured (with credit, e.g., «Beautiful baby Emma, 2024»).

Never. All editing is done personally by me — no overseas freelancers have access to your images.

I:

• Book morning slots when toddlers are freshest;
• Have a dedicated «toddler assistant» (my husband or trained colleague) to play with them off-camera;
• Start with sibling shots first, then let them leave with a nanny/grandparent.

Absolutely! I’ve photographed:

• Jewish bris blankets;
• Hindu naamkaran threads;
• Nigerian gel wraps. Just inform me in advance to research respectful posing.

I archive all sessions for 5 years (vs. standard 1–2 years in London). Recovery fee: £50 (waived for album purchases).

Yes! I work exclusively with The Print Space (archival quality) and Folio Albums (luxury lay-flat designs). Clients get a 10% discount through me.

I hold flexible slots for such cases — just notify me within 24 hours. No forfeit fee, unlike 70% of London studios.

Yes, I bring duplicate cameras, lenses, and lighting — a standard even many «pro» studios skip.

I shoot with Nikon Z6II + 50 mm f/1.4 + Z35 mm f/1.4 for creamy bokeh. Test shots are unethical — my portfolio reflects real results.

My speciality is delicate, timeless imagery — sticky cakes clash with this aesthetic. But I’d love to recommend trusted colleagues who do them well!

Yes! I provide translated docs in French, Arabic, and Russian via certified services. Sessions are conducted in English, but simple phrases in your language can be used.

My booking system shows your local time automatically, and I offer 24/7 WhatsApp support for urgent queries.

Of course, discreetly. I’ll also provide shoot-time tips (like loose swaddling) to avoid discomfort.

My studio has a private nursing nook with blackout curtains. At home, I’ll step out or focus on detail shots (tiny feet, your hands) during feeds.

Yes! I’ll share 3–4 complete client galleries (with their permission) to show consistency. Many photographers only showcase «perfect» shots.

Yes, 5% of each session goes to Tommy’s (UK pregnancy research) and Bliss (preemie support) — you’ll get a certificate to gift if desired.

Yes! I offer custom art-directed sessions with:

• Hand-painted backdrops (like 18th-century oils)
• Heirloom props (antique christening gowns from museum collections)
• Digital art fusion (e.g., your baby as a cherub in a classical fresco).

I never use AI tools:

• Skin is retouched manually to preserve the natural texture
• Backgrounds are shot authentically (или composited from my library, not AI-generated)
• You’ll receive a before/after slider to compare edits.

While [Competitor] does great work, I differentiate by:

• Dual-artist approach (my husband’s videography angles add depth)
• No batch sessions (only 1 booking per day для максимального внимания)
• Lifetime file guarantee (у них обычно 1-year storage). Let’s chat — I’ll show how this impacts your experience.
