Where do you start?
Booking your newborn session is just the first step.
Don't be one of those parents who get their photos back, absolutely love them, and then leaves them
sitting on the phone, never see them again!
That's such a waste of something so special.
Have you thought about how you want to use your portraits?
Stunning frames above your couch, down the hallway, and gifts foe family.
Your baby's first photos deserve more than just being scrolled past.
Packages and Prices
When working with a senior photographer, there are typically two fees you need to plan for:
1: Session Fee: £95. This fee is similar to a booking fee and covers your time in the studio. It is due at the time of booking, typically around your 20-week mark, and is non-refundable as it reserves Katie's availability for you.
Every newborn session booked before Mum is 25wks will receive a free maternity session. Photos will be included in your final package that you will purchase at your viewing two weeks after your newborn photo session.
2: Package Price: This is where you purchase your images and physical products. It is due two weeks after your newborn session at your viewing appointment.

Start with the end in mind.

Getting ready for your session
Hi, Katie here! I can't wait to meet you in person. Here are a few things to help you get ready for your maternity and newborn session. I always suggest having everything packed and organised a few weeks before the baby arrives, as there is nothing worse than trying to get everything together with a brand new baby!
The first question most clients ask is: "How can we book a session if we don't know when the baby is going to arrive?"
It's really very simple:
-
I pencil in your due date, which allows me to keep a session available for you two weeks before and two weeks after your due date. So no matter when baby gets here we always have a session available for you for the four weeks around your due date.
-
Dad's job: When baby arrives and Dad texts all the family to tell them baby is here, he needs to add us to that list.
-
When I receive the text message I will reply with: "Congratulations - your photography session is *Insert Date* at 11am".
-
Easy!
WHERE:
The maternity and newborn photography sessions will take place at my Studio - conveniently located in Landek House, Bank Street Irvine - where you will be welcomed into a warm, comfortable, and relaxing environment that is fully equipped with everything you may need (including free off-street parking!).
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE:
Maternity sessions are 1 hour long, but I am totally fine if they run a little over for my mummies who want to take there time and have a laugh. After all its your session
Newborn Sessions are between 2 and 4 hours, allowing time to feed, cuddle, and make your baby feel happy (and even giving Dad time to have a doze on my couch!). I typically have siblings, extended family, and pets come in at the begining, but I am flexible if you need them to come in at the end. Please raise this with me prior to your session.
WHAT WILL YOU NEED TO BRING:
You have your hospital bag; now you need a photography bag.
I have all the clothes that you might need for baby, but your photography bag should include the following:
-
Flesh or white-coloured underwear for Mum. A simple, smooth fabric bra, such as a t-shirt bra, and underpants, to ensure lines do not show through.
-
Dad's outfit should consist of a white t-shirt without any logos or collar (no shirts or polo shirts), paired with blue jeans. While I understand that Dads often have their favourite branded t-shirt, logos can be distracting in the final image.
-
Please bring wipes, ointments, and creams for your baby.
-
If you are bottle-feeding, please bring twice the amount you typically go through in a four-hour period. Babies tend to eat more during the session, and we want to ensure all their needs are met.
-
Pack a full change of clothes, nappies, and a sterilised spare dummy for the baby, if you are using one.
-
Feel free to bring drinks and snacks, as you will be with me for up to four hours. However, I do provide bottles of water and some cheeky wee chocolates!
I know having a baby can feel like a lot, especially in those very early days when everything is new, emotional, and exhausting. That’s exactly why I’ve created my studio to be a small, cosy space designed to help you feel completely relaxed from the moment you walk in.
There’s a comfy couch to sit back on, bottled water and little comforts throughout your session, plus a mirror area for any last-minute hair or makeup touch-ups. I’ve created a calm, welcoming environment where you can settle in, enjoy the experience, and truly make yourself at home while I capture your memories.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER ALL THE PHOTO SHOOTS:
Following your newborn photography session, we will schedule a viewing appointment for you to review all your portraits from the comfort of your own home. At your appointed time, I will call and email you a link to your online gallery, where we will watch a slideshow video of all your final images set to music. I challenge you not to shed a tear! Once you are completely satisfied, you can confirm which package you would like and make payment. Orders typically take between 1-4 weeks to arrive. Upon their arrival, I will send you a text message to arrange a date and time for you to collect your stunning images
