What to Expect During Your Newborn Photoshoot at Little Somewhere

Welcome to Little Somewhere

Bringing your baby in for their first professional photos is such a special milestone. At Little Somewhere, my goal is to make your newborn photoshoot a calm, enjoyable and stress-free experience for both you and your baby.

Whether this is your first time in front of the camera or your third little one, I’ll guide you through every step so you know exactly what to expect.

Booking Your Newborn Session

The best time to book your newborn photoshoot is during pregnancy, usually around the 20–30 week mark. We’ll reserve a space based on your due date, and don’t worry, it’s totally flexible! Babies rarely arrive on schedule, so we can easily adjust once your little one arrives.

Before your session, you’ll receive a helpful prep guide with tips on what to bring, what to wear, and you’ll also receive a questionnaire to help me figure out how to style your photoshoot. You don’t need to worry about props or outfits, I have a full collection of wraps, accessories and carefully chosen props to suit your preferred colours or theme.

Arriving at the Studio

When you arrive at Little Somewhere, you’ll find plenty of free parking right outside. I’ll greet you at the door and take you straight into our cosy main studio which was designed to feel calm and comforting from the moment you step in.

The studio is kept warm to ensure baby is comfortable, especially during the bare-skin poses. Gentle music plays in the background, and there’s tea, coffee and biscuits waiting for you. Many parents tell me it’s the first time they’ve truly relaxed since baby arrived, and yes, I’ve even had a dad or two fall asleep on the sofa!

During Your Photoshoot

Your session will be completely baby-led. We’ll take things slowly, allowing plenty of time for feeding, changing, and cuddling whenever baby needs it. Once baby is settled, I’ll gently guide them into comfortable poses, either on my beanbag or using one of the hand-picked props styled for your session.

I always take a moment for a quick cuddle before we start - I can’t resist!

Sessions usually last around 2–3 hours, giving us time to capture a beautiful variety of images without any rush. Parents and siblings are warmly encouraged to join in for some family portraits too.

After the Session

Once your newborn photoshoot is complete, I’ll carefully select the best images and edit them in my signature style. You’ll then be invited back to the studio for a relaxed viewing and ordering appointment, where you can see your gallery, choose your favourite images and explore options for digital files, prints or wall art.

Every step of the process is designed to feel calm and easy, leaving you with beautiful, heartfelt images that celebrate the love and connection of those precious first days.
