THIS IS HOW A NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPH IS DONE

- from booking to image delivery and selection of photo products.

Reservation

Please call or email us when you are pregnant (after week 32 of pregnancy). We book a preliminary day that is as optimal as possible for your child (about 7-14 days old).

Forpreparations

We plan your photo shoot by meeting in the studio or digitally. You get some tips to think about and see what possibilities you have in terms of theme, colors, clothes and other nice props.

Photographing

The photography takes 3-4 hours where we have full focus on children's photography. The mother or boththe parents have the opportunity to sit on the sofa, rest, drink coffee and listen to calmer music between amning.

Image display and delivery

1-2 weeks later, you get to look at your photos and choose the ones you like the most. We will send you a link to your gallery with the best photos that we have taken during the shoot. 

There are usually around 30-50 images to choose from. After you have chosen your favorites - we edit them and deliver digitally 1-2 weeks later.

Frequently asked questions

Here you will find answers to the most common questions about your newborn photo shoot.

When is the best time to photograph a newborn?

Why is newborn photography not the same as child photography? First of all, because a newborn baby sleeps best during the first 14 days of its life, a so-called deep sleep. It allows us to pose the baby quite freely for a longer period of time. In addition, a newborn baby sleeps during the entire photo session, which children older than 2-3 weeks do not.

Is the studio suitable for newborns?

Yes, our studio is warm, safe and calm – designed to make newborns feel safe. We use a specially made bed and soft props that are gentle on the skin.

Our recommendations

1. Please book your newborn photography well in advance. A few months before is probably a reasonable time for us to plan you in our calendar.

2. Due to the fact that babies sleep best and have long stretches of deep sleep in the first 14 days, we recommend that photography takes place no later than 2-3 weeks after delivery.

3. Feel free to bring a pacifier. Even if you don't use a pacifier, you should have it with you.

4. Please bring a coaster so we can have it under backgrounds.

How long does a newborn photo shoot take?

We have lots of exclusive, hand-sewn clothing, fabric, props and various decorations.

Our color/gamma on all our props are close to the fabric and have a Scandinavian touch. We avoid strong colors and work   mainly with faded and neutral colors.

In addition, we have many incredibly nice wooden props such as a swing, wooden and metal buckets, moon and much, much more.

Our recommendations

Absolutely! We encourage you to include both parents and siblings in some of the photos to create personal and emotional memories.

What do we need to bring with us?

You basically only need to bring what you normally use at home – diapers, changing pads, pacifiers and any replacements if used. We have everything you need in the form of blankets, hats, clothes and props.
