questions

YOUR JOURNEy,
gracefully EXPLAINED

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO SCHEDULE MY SESSION?

For pregnancy announcements, most parents-to-be, choose to schedule their shoot between 8 and 14 weeks once they have had their first ultrasound scan. It's all about what feels right for you!

The ideal time for a maternity shoot is between 28 and 34 weeks - when your bump is beautifully round but you're still feeling relatively comfortable.

Newborn sessions are typically done within the first 5-21 days after birth, when babies are sleepier and more easily posed. With that being said, I do welcome older newborns up to 6 weeks old.

WHAT DIFFERENT SESSIONS DO YOU OFFER?

Pregnancy announcements capture the exciting moment you share the news with loved ones or on social media, this may include props such as scan photos, baby shoes or a cute sign.

Maternity session focuses on celebrating the beauty and glow of your pregnancy, mainly of just you and your bump but your partner is welcome to join.

Family portraits highlight the connections and love between family members, including children and partners.

A newborn shoot is a calm, baby-led session capturing the love, connection and tiny details of your baby's earliest days.

DO YOU PROVIDE WARDROBE OR STYLING GUIDANCE?

At the moment, I do not provide wardrobe options for maternity sessions. However, I will guide you according to the style of photos you are interested in creating.

I do have a curated selection of simple wraps, blankets and props for newborn sessions.

CAN MY PARTNER OF CHILDREN BE INCLUDED IN THE SESSION?

Yes, absolutely! Partners and siblings are welcome to join all sessions.


WHERE DO PHOTOSHOOTS TAKE PLACE?

All sessions take place at my own studio, Seven Studios, located at 141 Rocky Lane, Birmingham, B7 5ES.

I'M CAMERA SHY, WILL YOU HELP ME POSE?

Of course. I will gently guide you through natural and flattering poses that highlight your beauty and make you feel at ease.

HOW LONG DOES THE SESSION LAST?

Most maternity sessions last around 1-1.5 hours, allowing a relaxed pace. You can take time to rest if you get tired or uncomfortable at any point.

Family sessions including children take around 1.5 hours.

Newborn sessions can vary between 2-3 hours, allowing time for feeding and soothing.

HOW AND WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?

All sessions include high resolution digital images delivered via a private online gallery, ready for you to download, share and print at your convenience. Your gallery will be ready within 2 weeks.

I do not currently offer photo printing or physical products.

HOW DO I PAY FOR MY BOOKING?

To secure your booking, a non-refundable £50 deposit is required for all bookings, payable via card transaction when booking.

The remaining balance is due on the day of the session, to be paid either by card or cash.

WHAT IF I CAN'T MAKE MY SESSION?

If you need to cancel or reschedule your session, please provide 48 hours notice.

Cancellations made with less than 48 hours notice will forfeit the deposit to cover your booked studio cost.
