How much do newborn photo shoots cost?
Newborn photographers tend to charge anywhere between £250 and £700 for a newborn photo shoot.
Each photographer will of course offer various packages too, often including more photos, wall art, canvases or albums.
Like most things, you very much get what you pay for with a newborn photographer. You might find a fantastic photographer in the early stages of their career who offers great value, but most established newborn photographers will have worked out a price that makes it possible to offer you the best possible experience.
What am I paying for when I book a newborn photo session?
There is much more work that goes into a newborn photoshoot than just the 2-4 hours when you are in my studio.
Beforehand
I style the session having discussed colour schemes with parents.
I keep in constant contact with parents and speak on the phone to go through the best way to prepare on the morning of the session.
The session itself
The session involves 2-4 hours of intense work where you are paying for my skill, creativity and expertise. Also for my experience and training to make sure baby is perfectly safe at all times.
After the session (this is where more magic starts)
I edit your full gallery, often more than 50 images, which generally takes at least a full day.
I edit them to a consistent colour plalate to make sure your pictures will print to a professional standard.
I remove any blemishes on baby - often newborns have blotchy skin, jaundice or even baby acne.
I then present you with your finished gallery at a photo reveal session back in my studio, where you choose which package you would like to go for.
What hidden costs are there in a newborn photoshoot?
We’ve all heard horror stories of people going for a photoshoot and finding out they have to pay much more for their photos afterwards.
My sesssions are an all-in-one package. I have two basic packages and I offer various larger packages that include either wall art or albums (or both) and the price is spelled out.

What do I have to pay up front to book a newborn photoshoot?
I take a £99 deposit which is deducted from your final price. This guarantees your place in my diary, whether baby is early or late. We don’t set a date for your session. We wait until baby arrives and then schedule you in.
Because I only take a certain amount of sessions each month, I am able to offer you that flexibility.
