- Timing: Schedule the session around the baby's happiest time of day, often after a nap and feeding. This is usually mid-morning.

The photographer has plenty of outfits to use during the

session however if you wish to provide your outfits please keep the following in mind when choosing the outfit, select comfortable outfits that allow the baby to move freely.

We have a variety of options for outfits ready when the baby arrives, including different colours and styles

If you wish to take pictures with the baby please avoid busy patterns and print work, it's preferable to wear light colours such as cream, and white however if prefer wearing dark colours please wear solid colours with no writing such as a plain black shirt/top.

Please don’t forget to provide diapers (Nappy) and Wipes, Bring extra diapers and wipes for any quick changes.
