Newborn Prices
​Thank you for enquiring about Nicola Ellen Photography’s Newborn photoshoots.
All of my sessions have a £50 session fee. The fee does not include any images or
products. The fee secures your 1.5 - 4 hour session in my studio and the use of
outfits and props. I like the sessions to be relaxed and so I like to allow time for feeds
and changes in between photographs. I make sure that I do not book any other
session on the day of your shoot.
Each session includes a variety of photographs, including posed bean bag shots of
your newborn, sibling and parent shots. Before the session, I like to discuss the style
of images that you are keen to capture, this will be either be via telephone, virtual
meeting or email.
Within 2-3 weeks following your session you have the option to return to the studio
to view your images. There are a variety of different packages to choose from,
including print and digital packages, stunning presentation boxes and also the
option to purchase beautiful wall art (all samples are available to view).
Frequently Asked Questions
​
When is the best time to photograph my little one?
The best time to photograph your little one is when they are between 4 -10 days old. During these early days, babies are much more sleepy, making it easier to put them into those beautiful curled poses. But, please don't worry if your little one is older than this. Due to the restrictions that we have had, I have captured beautiful images of babies that are 12 weeks old. Yes, we even managed to get a couple of sleepy shots too.
​
How long will my session last?
A newborn session can last from 2 - 4 hours depending on your baby. I like to allow time for any feeds or changes and of course refreshments for you all. I like to allow plenty pop time in these sessions so I only book one newborn a day. I like to think that the sessions are also your opportunity to have some time to relax and have a little bit of needed down time. I always suggest bringing magazines, iPads or just sit and enjoy watching memories being captured of your little one,
Can my other children be included in the photographs?
Yes absolutely. If the siblings are young, I normally suggest that we juggle the session by capturing your family and sibling images first. After this, your other children can relax or sometimes it works well if a relative is available to take the children to a local play park whilst we finish the session. I always recommend Badgers Hill farm. A free farm near the studio, where you can buy drinks and food and see some gorgeous animals.
​
When do I book my session?
To guarantee your newborn session, I suggest booking when you enter your second trimester of pregnancy.
When I take your booking, we put your due date as a provisional date. However, knowing that babies don't always like to arrive on time or like to keep us on our toes and arrive earlier than expected, I keep enough dates available in each month. Once your little one arrives, we then book your session at the next convenient slot.
Before each session, I like to discuss via email or phone the details of your shoot, such as timings, types of shots, numbers attending the session etc.
​
What happens at my session?
​
At your session, I will take a variety of shots including family, sibling and individual posed photographs of your little one. I will pose your baby using a selection of my wraps, outfits and props, which will be available to look at before the shoot begins. Please feel free to bring along any small sentimental items you wish to be included in the photographs (for example teddies or blankets).
When do I get my photographs?
Within three weeks of your session, I will contact you to select a date and time to view your images. The viewing will take place back at my studio, where you will be able to look at the images in mounted prints on display. All of my newborn packages include prints and downloadable images. I offer a variety of packages and also have a beautiful wall art to add to your package - these can all be viewed at my studio.
