Top Questions Parents Ask Before Booking a Newborn Photographer
Booking a newborn photography session is an exciting step in welcoming your little one—but it also comes with a lot of questions, especially for first-time parents. We get it! This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and you want everything to be perfect.
Here are the top questions parents ask before booking a newborn photographer—and the answers to help you feel confident in your choice.
- When Should I Book My Newborn Session?
Scheduling your session in the second or early third trimester is ideal.. This ensures availability around your due date. We pencil in your estimated due date and stay flexible in case baby arrives early or late.
Once your baby is born, we’ll schedule the exact session—typically within the first 5–14 days after birth, when babies are sleepiest and easiest to pose.
- What’s the Best Age for Newborn Photos?
The sweet spot is between 5 and 14 days old. At this stage, babies are usually still very sleepy, naturally curled, and less sensitive to being moved or posed gently. Of course, every baby is different, and beautiful photos can still be captured beyond this window. - Where Does the Session Take Place?
There are two methods for conducting sessions.:
Studio sessions: Perfect for classic, posed shots with access to props, backdrops, and professional lighting.
Lifestyle sessions (in-home): Ideal for relaxed, natural images that capture your family in your own environment.
We’ll help you decide which option fits your vision best.
- How Long Does a Newborn Session Take?
Sessions with newborns usually last two to three hours.. This gives plenty of time for feeding, diaper changes, soothing, and cuddles—without any pressure or rush.
We work entirely at your baby’s pace.
- Is It Safe?
Absolutely. Safety is always our top priority. We employ thoroughly sanitized props and our own signature baby-safe posing methods—crafted with care to ensure your newborn’s safety, comfort, and peaceful experience. Your baby is never left unattended, and all poses are carefully supported. We’re trained to recognize when a baby is uncomfortable and always put their well-being first. - What Should We Bring?
We provide all the essentials: soft wraps, blankets, headbands, hats, and props. If you have something sentimental—like a family heirloom or a handmade blanket—we’d love to incorporate it.
Just bring your baby bag essentials and feel free to come as you are.
- Can Parents and Siblings Be in the Photos?
Yes! In fact, we encourage it. Those first family portraits are some of the most meaningful images. We’ll guide you through simple, natural posing so everyone looks their best—no modeling experience needed. - What Should We Wear?
We recommend neutral, soft tones with minimal patterns. Comfort is key—especially for new parents! Think light grays, creams, whites, pastels, or earth tones that complement your baby without drawing attention away.
We’re happy to help with wardrobe advice or coordination tips ahead of time.
- How and When Will We Receive Our Photos?
After your session, you will receive a stunning online gallery in two to three weeks. From there, you can choose your favorites and download high-resolution images. We also offer custom albums, prints, and wall art if you want something extra special for your home. - What’s the Cost of a Newborn Session?
Our newborn photography packages start at AED 444, with several options to suit your needs. We offer both digital-only collections and print-inclusive packages. There are also payment plans and discounts for maternity and baby bundles available.
We believe these memories are an investment in your family’s story—and we’re honored to help tell it.
