WITH WELWYN NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER SHIVANI
A baby fills a place in your heart you never knew was empty
The Experience
Hello and thank you for stopping by! I'm Shivani, a
newborn photographer based in Welwyn Garden City.
Finally your new bundle of joy is here with those tiny, perfect little hands and toes :) The newborn phase is so special so come to my studio and let me capture these precious moments for you and your family! It is recommended to book your newborn photography session when your little one is between 7 - 14 days old.
As a family photographer it's so important to me to document that special connection with your child. This is why my newborn photography sessions are more family focussed and include photos of baby alone, sibling photos and family images. At my Welwyn studio, all mummy''s have access to a stunning selection of couture gowns and flowy fabrics as well as wraps and props for your baby.
I want you to remember this moment long after you leave my studio, as well as show off your beautiful images, which is why I also provide only the highest quality tangible memories in the form of wall art, albums and prints. All of these products are available à la carte, customisable to your taste and guaranteed to envoke emotion time after time!
How it works
Depending on the package chosen, your newborn session will be around 1 - 2 hours.
The ideal time for newborn photography is between 7 - 14 days old as this is when they are most sleepy and easy to pose :) It is recommended to book your slot around your 12 week scan as spaces are limited.
A £99 deposit is required to secure your newborn photoshoot with the balance due one week before your session.
Scheduling & planning
All mothers have access to a stunning selection of couture gowns, and a range of flowy fabrics available in many colours at my Welwyn studio.
All props and wraps for baby will be available in my studio.
Partners and siblings should come in their own clothes and in colours which will match the colour dress you choose. Do not worry - a full prep guide will be sent prior to your session :)
Wardrobe & Styling
All newborn photoshoots include beautiful hi res digital images.
We will also discuss your options on how to display your stunning images in either prints, an album or wall art :)
All galleries are sent 3 - 4 weeks after your session and come in a colour and black & white version.
