FAQ

How long does a newborn session take?

Typically 1-2 hours at maximum. Since newborn sessions are baby led, we don’t rush. Yet at the same time, the flow of the session is natural. We pause for cuddles, burps, diaper changes, feedings or just a little break ;)

What should I bring?

Very little — everything is prepared for you. The items you will need, a diaper bag, extra bottles just in case if not nursing and a soother in case of an emergency. All of these details are laid out after our session is booked, This way, you have everything you need before you arrive.
