FAQ
-
Yay, that makes me so happy! Once you’re ready, I’ll ask a few questions by email or phone and make sure there’s space in the diary around your due date. To officially book, a short contract and model release will need to be signed and your retainer paid.
When your little one arrives, just send me a quick message and we’ll pick a day that suits you best within your booking window. -
I’m based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and photograph newborns and families throughout Belfast and the surrounding areas.
-
The Snug Sessions take place in the comfort of your own home. Those early days are beautiful but can also be a whirlwind, so I want your session to feel relaxed and easy.
I bring everything I need with me and work in natural light, usually setting up near a window. -
Every baby is unique, so I don’t set a strict number. Sessions are baby led and usually last 2–4 hours, giving us time to pause for feeds, changes, and cuddles.
You’ll receive all of your beautifully edited images in a mix of colour and black and white. I love monochrome imagery and always include a full selection of both styles. -
Yes, absolutely. While the focus is on your baby, I always try to include a few gentle family moments if time allows.
For safety reasons, I don’t photograph newborns directly with pets, but we can include them separately if you’d like them to be part of your story. -
Safety is always my number one priority. Some poses aren’t suitable for every baby or don’t fit with my natural, baby led approach.
The Snug Sessions were created as an alternative to heavily posed studio photography, focusing instead on authentic, comfortable, and beautifully real imagery. -
I recommend booking during your second trimester to make sure there’s space around your due date. Once your baby arrives, we’ll confirm the exact session date, usually within the first couple of weeks when your baby is still tiny and sleepy.
-
Soft, neutral tones always photograph beautifully. Think cosy knits, simple textures, and natural fabrics. Avoid bold colours or busy patterns so the focus stays on connection and emotion.
Once booked, you’ll receive my styling guide with tips and inspiration to help you prepare. -
You’ll receive a sneak peek within a week, and your full gallery will be ready in around 6–8 weeks (sometimes a little longer during busy periods).
