Good question! Sometimes it's easy - if you have a brand new baby you'll most likely want to book a newborn shoot, and if you're 30 weeks pregnant you'll most likely want a maternity shoot. Sometimes it's not as easy to decide! For example if you're pregnant and also have other children, you might be wondering whether to book a family photoshoot or a maternity photoshoot. Here's a general guide to each of my shoots and what I will focus on: Newborn Photoshoot: 2 hour shoot, where I capture different portrait photographs of your new baby (your baby will be under 12 weeks old), with a couple of family/parent shots. The focus is on the baby mostly and I don't tend to do portraits of older siblings on their own, parents on their own or capture lots of candid family fun during these shoots. Maternity Photoshoot: 1 hour shoot, where I capture solo maternity portraits in various outfits and positions, with some couples or family portraits as well. The main focus is on the bump, and less on capturing family fun - see below for family photoshoots if you'd like to capture more of that! Family Photoshoot: 1 hour shoot, where I capture group photos of the whole family, or just the kids (or whichever family group you choose) and candid shots of your family / your child(ren) having fun. There will be a few solo portraits of each member of the family, but the focus is very much on the group. If you're pregnant, you might prefer a maternity photoshoot so I know to focus more on your glorious bump! Milestone Photoshoot: 1 hour shoot, where I capture portraits of your older baby up until they start walking or their first birthday, whichever comes first! If your baby is younger than 12 weeks, you will need to book a newborn shoot, as we will need to allow more time for feeds and changes. If your baby is older than 1 or already walking, a family photoshoot will be best. Mobile Studio Photoshoot: at least 2 hours in your own home, with a studio style backdrop and lighting. These are suitable for newborns, babies who are not walking and solo or couple maternity portraits. For safety reasons, the mobile studio isn't suitable if you've got a walking baby, pets, older children or would like group photos.
