Frequently Asked Questions
Wrapped newborn mini sessions are shorter, simplified sessions focused on capturing beautiful, timeless images of your baby while they’re fully wrapped throughout.
- The Snuggle Mini is a 60-minute session
- The Cuddle Mini is 90 minutes and includes one sibling or family image
These sessions are priced accordingly and ideal for parents looking for a quicker, more affordable option. Because baby stays wrapped the entire time, the session tends to be calmer and more efficient — perfect for capturing those precious early moments with minimal fuss.
In order to guarantee availability, I suggest making a booking after your 20 week scan because at this point you will have an idea of your due date. I will book a provisional date in the diary and amend that when you arrive at home with your new baby. Babies can obviously arrive early or late so I allow space in my diary to accommodate this. I will only book three newborn sessions in a week (one session a day) so be sure to book well in advance to avoid disappointment. Newborn babies tend to sleep deeper in the morning so my sessions start either at 9.30am or 10am.
The ideal period to photograph your baby is within 3 weeks of birth (with 5 – 15 days old being the optimal time). At this age your baby is still very sleepy and flexible and this allows me to safely and comfortably pose your baby into the beautiful, dreamy poses that are so popular. If you miss this small window, I can photograph your baby up to 12 weeks, but bear in mind babies are so much more alert and not so ‘curled up’ the later you leave it.
I perform all newborn shoots in my garden studio in Gerrards Cross, SL9. It’s a warm space, spotlessly clean and perfectly set up for newborn shoots, with an extensive choice of wraps, blankets and props to make your shoot unique to you.
The deposit for booking with me is £150, this goes towards the package you decide to select. The deposit is payable at the time of making your booking and is only refunded due to unforeseen circumstances. Session fees cannot be refunded once your session has begun. An alternative session will always be offered in the event that you cannot make your session through illness or we have to end your session early through you or your baby’s ill health. You are investing in years of experience, talent and creative expertise.
Lots of extra nappies and extra milk for bottle fed babies. I suggest that you bring along some food especially if mum is breast feeding. If your baby takes a dummy/pacifier please bring it with you – they are a massive help when posing the baby and keeping them in a sleepy state. If you don’t use one, Please note – the temperature in the studio will be at least 26 degrees C (80 degrees F) so please don’t come dressed in any warm clothing as you will swelter.
The Snuggle Mini is a 60-minute session focused entirely on your baby — perfect for capturing those early moments with a gentle, relaxed approach. This session is just for baby and does not include sibling or family photos. The Cuddle Mini is a 90-minute session and includes one sibling image, making it ideal if you’d like to capture a special photo with your older children too. You’re more than welcome to bring siblings along to either session if needed — I understand that childcare isn’t always easy, and I want to make your experience as stress-free as possible.
No, I don’t charge extra for twins or triplets.
Depending how premature your baby is, I adjust the shoot date. I will also take baby’s birth weight into consideration.
I am happy for you to take a few photos or a video of the shoot itself so you can remember babies first photoshoot. But please refrain from taking close up photos of your baby when I am; it can distract me and interfere with my lights. If you are posting video or photos on social media to document the day, please can you remember to tag “Rebecca Fitch Photography”.
Please don’t worry if your baby is jaundiced, I can take the yellow skin tone out in my editing process. Your baby will likely have a few patches of dry skin on the day of the session, this is perfectly normal. Please do not apply oil to your baby’s skin. It is much easier to retouch flaky skin than to fix excessively shiny skin in Photoshop.
As a Newborn photographer I can only advise you on what is best for a really smooth, easy and completely relaxed session. I want you and your baby to be completely at ease on the day of your session and I would like to stress that this is a guideline only. Please do not put yourself or your baby under any stress or discomfort trying to follow this guideline. It is more important for you to look forward to your session and the beautiful pictures we are going to capture of your new family.
Either give your baby a full feed before travelling to the studio or aim to do this as soon as you arrive. If you are breast feeding, please be careful of your diet the day before the shoot. (Avoid – Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, garlic, pepper, onions) and definitely no caffeine the day of the shoot.
The most important advice is to keep your baby up for at least an hour or more before coming to see me. Try giving your baby a bath, some naked nappy free time and lots of stimulation. This is especially important for babies older than 14 days. It will make it much easier to get those cute, squishy, curled up shots. Lastly, please don’t worry if your baby has been restless and been up all night before you come to see me, I am sure you will be feeling extremely exhausted, but it makes for a great shoot with a super tired baby.
If your baby is very curious and takes a little while to settle do not worry. I will take some beautiful awake pictures to capture that little personality. Your baby will fall asleep at some point and we will then capture those dreamy sleepy poses. Patience is the key to a successful session and I have tons of it!
Your baby will normally fall asleep in the car on the way to the studio so please dress the baby for the journey in clothing that does not have to go over their head. You can leave your baby in the car seat, so I can start taking pictures straightaway. During your newborn shoot, I’ll gently wrap your baby in one of my many beautiful, soft wraps — with a lovely selection of colours to choose from. Wrapping not only creates a timeless, peaceful look in your photos, but also helps soothe and settle your baby, making them feel safe and secure — just like they did in the womb. The entire session is calm, baby-led, and designed to make sure both you and your little one feel relaxed and cared for throughout.
Newborn photography is a completely unregulated industry. Anyone can advertise themselves as a newborn photographer without necessarily having the correct training or expertise to handle and photograph your baby safely. At Rebecca Fitch Photography your baby will be in very safe and experienced hands. I practise safe posing techniques and will sometimes ask a parent to help out making sure a supporting hand is very close to the baby when required. I have attended numerous newborn training workshops and have learnt from some of the best photographers in the industry. I am also DBS checked and fully insured.
If your baby is poorly then I will reschedule your shoot date. This can mean shooting outside of the 3 week time frame but sometimes this is unavoidable.
Yes there is plenty of parking in the driveway.
These wrapped newborn mini sessions are designed to be short and sweet, with your baby comfortably wrapped throughout.
- The Snuggle Mini lasts up to 60 minutes
- The Cuddle Mini lasts up to 90 minutes
The session length — and pricing — reflects the focused, efficient nature of these shoots. Please be ready to feed your baby as needed during the session. If you’re bottle feeding, make sure to bring an extra bottle just in case.
Your final gallery of approximately 50 – 60 beautiful images will be ready to view between two and three weeks after your session. I will email you the login details to your own password protected online gallery which you can view through the website. You will then have 14 days to select the photos and upgrade your package if you wish.
I use one of the best award-winning labs in the country for all my wall art. Fantastic quality pieces of art that really do last a lifetime. Contact me for pricing.
I have thought long and hard about what sort of service I would like to receive if I were you – the customer. I would definitely like the opportunity to choose my package or products in the comfort of my own home. In our current busy lives , we all seem to have less time than ever – so I just send you a link by email to select your pictures within 14 days. There is no returning for a viewing, no hard sell and absolutely no pressure. I personally would hate a pushy sales appointment.
