The Studio

With the support and craftsmanship from some very special people in my life, I have been extremely lucky to have my own studio built for me at my home. The studio is situated in my garden which has easy access through a side entrance. Both studio and toilet facilities are separate from my home. The studio has been designed to be cosy and welcoming so that you can sit back and relax whilst I capture those precious moments for you.

Props
I have a selection of props and accessories suited for newborn and child photography, including many hand made pieces. Most of my props are made from natural materials and are neutral in colour. Props are kept to a minimum in my style of photography as my main focus is always the baby/child. I also like to use natural fibres like furs and wool, these are most comfortable for baby to snuggle in. The furs are all naturally felted, many come from organic farms and all are cruelty free. If you are vegan and would prefer not to use any fur/wool products it’s not a problem. This will be covered on your pre shoot specific requirements form.

Cleanliness 
After every session the studio is cleaned thoroughly with disinfectant, props are wiped down and sprayed, fabrics are washed using fairy non bio for sensitive skin. There is at least 24 hours between any photography session.

Masks - during newborn sessions I will be wearing a mask.

Illness - please do not attend any session if you or your child are feeling unwell or showing any signs of an illness. Just the slightest cold can affect my tiny clients if it is passed onto them. Please let me know as soon as you possibly can so we can rebook you in for the next available date convenient to you. Should I myself have any slight sign of being unwell I will cancel the session as soon as I can and reschedule you in for the next convenient date.

Sanitiser is always available and recommended for you to use. I will be regularly using sanitiser throughout each session.

Shoes are to be removed in the studio during your session.

Access - The studio is accessed by a side alleyway. Toilet facilities are accessible round the front of the house via alleyway. Please note there is a deep step into the studio (Wheelchair users please ask for details).

Music/WiFi 
During newborn sessions I keep music playing in the background quietly and I also use a shusher for white noise to help soothe baby and prevent those startled moments they can sometimes have. I also have ‘Alexa’ in the studio should your child like particular songs which may help during their session. WiFi is available for you to use. Login details can be found in the studio.
