Newborn sessions are held in Captured by Melinda, Today, Tomorrow & Always’ home studio, located at Valley Heights in the Blue Mountains, and images are captured using natural window light.
Newborn sessions can last from 3 -4 hours, allowing ample time for a variety of set ups, as well as the important things like feeding, settling and cuddling.
Newborns are best photographed in the first two weeks, preferably between 5 – 10 days old, as this is when they are easily settled, often sleeping and therefore most comfortable during sessions.
I generally book out a few months in advance, so it is best to book your newborn session early in your pregnancy. Once booked, I will pencil in your due date on the calendar. Then as soon as baby arrives, you let me know, so that I can schedule the exact time and date of the session.
I limit the amount of sessions per month to ensure the highest quality of service to clients. So it is never too early to book a session and of course you can get in touch at anytime if you have any queries. If you have only just discovered Newborn Photography shortly after giving birth, then all is not lost, I will do my best to fit you in.
I have a selection of props available for your session, which include bowls, baskets, nests, blankets, bonnets, beanies, wraps, throws and headbands that are source from the finest local and international suppliers. If you have any sentimental items, such as blankets, special clothing items or hats that you would like included in your images, by all means bring them along to your session and I will make every effort to incorporate them into your session.
