When is the best age for a newborn photo session?

Ideal when your baby is aged 5–21 days. Babies are very sleepy in the first two to three weeks, making curly poses easier to achieve and keeping them settled throughout the session.

When should I book a newborn session?

Book any time after your 12-week scan. No date is set at booking — Katie notes your due date and asks you to get in touch after birth to schedule the session, staying flexible around your baby's actual arrival.

When is the best time to book a maternity session?

Between 30–35 weeks, when you show nicely but are still well before the point of being more uncomfortable.

What deposit is required to secure a booking?

A £40 deposit is required for most sessions (£80 for the Cake Smash Exclusive package). The deposit is deducted from the total cost and the balance is due on the day of your session. For event photography, a £50 non-refundable booking fee is required, with the remaining balance due before the event date.

How long does it take to receive my edited photos?

You receive a preview gallery with RAW photos within 3–4 days of your shoot. After you select your favourites, final edited images are delivered within 20 working days. Physical prints and products are ready for collection within 2 months.

How long are my images kept after the session?

Unordered images are purged 20 days after your session. Ordered images are archived for 6 months. Your private online gallery is published for 6 months.

What age is a cake smash session ideal for?

Ideal for children turning one (shot between 11–13 months) or two (between 23–25 months). Other ages can also be accommodated.
