MOLLY
We loved our newborn photo shoot with Jill. She made us feel completely at ease and captured some beautiful family photos, even when we’d only had two hours sleep!
JESS & JAMIE
I loved the naturalness of her images and how the baby was the focal point. I am so pleased I booked with Jill. The images she has produced are simply beautiful and we will treasure them for many years to come!
If you have had your 20 week scan & you feel ready to do so - then this is the perfect time. Honestly, the earlier the better! But only if you feel ready. We don’t know exactly when baby will arrive, so we use your due date as a guide at the time of booking. Once baby arrives we confirm the date of the photoshoot. Due to the nature of newborn shoots I only book in a limited number each month – so please get in touch.
how to plan & book your photoshoot
Please do not worry about this. Your newborn will make an appearance whenever they are ready and I limit my newborn photoshoots to ensure maximum flexibility. I completely understand that your due date is a guide. But I use this to make sure I have you planned in & we can confirm your photoshoot for a date that suits!
your due date is just a guide
My sessions are generally 2 hours long and that time usually is more than enough to allow for cuddles, milk, and nappy changes. It is rare for a baby to just sleep soundly for the whole session - as lovely as it is when it happens! But always expect a period when baby will be unsettled and it is always factored in. So please, do not panic.
babies will be babies
This is your photoshoot and so what you wear should 100% reflect you and who you are. With that being said, I do think that neutral clothes are the best option. So limit heavily branded clothes or anything patterned. Focus needs to be on the baby and you do not want your eye to be drawn to the clothes you are wearing and not the baby.
Think white/neutral shirts or knits for Dad and white/neutral shirt/top/ dress for mum. Same for siblings.
Do reach out if you need help.
neutral clothes for the win
You only need to decide which collection you wish to go on and purchase after you have viewed your online gallery.
Until you see your images it is impossible to know how many you will fall in love with. If you are selecting images based on a budget, this is fine and you can select the one that suits you best.
how do we decide?
