When to book

Stacey says it’s best to get in touch as early as possible to book your session. You will provide her with your estimated due date, she will then make a tentative booking for you and when you arrive home from hospital with your brand new baby you can contact her to arrange a suitable time and day for your session.

How old should baby be?

The optimum time frame for newborn sessions in a studio setting is within the first 5-10 days of arrival. Baby is at their most restful, and they also still have that divine freshness. After two weeks or so, babies are a little harder to settle and things like colic and baby acne can start to flare up. Above all, these are magical moments and there are tiny details that can often be forgotten in the haze of becoming a new parent.

What to expect

Stacey Lake Photography‘s newborn sessions are in the most relaxed and calm environment, as it’s also about providing you with an opportunity to enjoy this time with your new arrival. Her studio will be cosy and warm, and you’ll be able to sit back and relax while watching her photograph your tiny baby. All family members are included in the sessions, and she highly encourages parents and siblings to have their photos taken too. It’s such an amazing and important time – you will be looking back on these photographs for decades to come.
