Frequently Asked Questions
💛 Thinking of Booking a Newborn Session with Tiny Feet Photography?You're in the right place! Here’s a little guide on what to expect during your newborn photography session, plus some tips to help keep your baby happy, sleepy, and comfortable throughout.
Don’t worry — I’ll keep it short and sweet, because I know you're either looking after a tiny human or preparing to. 😉
📦 Do I Need to Bring Outfits or Props? No need! I’ve got a beautiful collection of newborn wraps, outfits, bonnets, and props ready for your session.
Each session is thoughtfully styled based on the pre-session questionnaire you’ll complete after booking.
If you have something special you’d like included — a family heirloom, a handmade blanket, or a tiny outfit — just let me know in advance!
👧 Can My Older Children Be in the Photos? Absolutely — sibling and family images are some of my favourites to capture!
I usually photograph siblings and family portraits at the beginning of the session, then suggest that Dad, Grandma, or a carer take the older kids to a park, play café, or for a little outing so we can focus on baby for the rest of the session in a calm environment.
👕 What Should Parents Wear? Keep it simple and neutral. Soft tones like white, creams a beige photograph beautifully and keep the focus on your connection with your baby.
👧👦 Sibling Outfit Tips Coordinating outfits help create timeless images:
🍼 Will You Use a Dummy/Pacifier? Yes, I do recommend having a dummy or pacifier on hand, even if your baby doesn’t usually use one. It’s helpful for soothing during posing transitions and is used briefly if needed.
I also have a selection of sterilised pacifiers available in the studio if you forget yours.
😴 LET’S GET TO THE SLEEPY TIPS:🔥 Keep Baby WarmThe studio is kept toasty warm — just like the cozy environment they’ve been used to. Most babies are undressed for a good portion of the session, so warmth is key to keeping them sleepy and settled.
Parents: Dress in layers so you can stay comfortable too!
🎯 Engage Baby Before You ArriveA bit of awake time before the session helps baby sleep more soundly during the shoot. Try a warm sponge bath or a little play time with Dad (peek-a-boo works wonders!).
Afterward, dress baby in a loose diaper and zip-up onesie — avoid anything that needs to go over the head to prevent waking baby.
🍼 Feeding TipsIf you're bottle-feeding, please bring extra formula and bottles — we often stop for top-ups during the session. If you’re breastfeeding, feel free to feed on demand as needed.
A full belly = a sleepy baby, and that’s exactly what we want!
💆♀️ Relax — You’re in Safe HandsSit back and enjoy a moment of quiet. I’ve calmed and photographed many babies, and I absolutely adore newborn snuggles.
You’re welcome to watch or rest — I’ll let you know if I need your help, especially for poses that require your support. Your baby’s safety is always my #1 priority.
What to Expect After Your Session 📸
In about 1–2 weeks, you'll receive a proofing gallery – an online selection of your session images where you can choose your favourites.
Once you've made your selections, I’ll get to work editing your chosen images with care and attention to detail.
✨ Your final gallery will be ready within 2 weeks of your selection, delivered via a private download link.
I can’t wait to share your beautiful memories with you!

- Mums: Go for classic tanks or t-shirts in neutral tones. Keep patterns minimal and nails natural or neutral-coloured.
- Dads: A fitted white tee (or shirtless if you're comfortable!) and well-fitting jeans are perfect.
👧👦 Sibling Outfit Tips Coordinating outfits help create timeless images:
- Sisters: Neutral-coloured dress or top, natural hair or simple braids, and clean, polish-free nails.
- Brothers: Fitted jeans and a plain white t-shirt or shirtless for younger boys.
