The first weeks of your babies life are such a precious time! Capturing those precious moments is something that I feel very honoured to be able to do for parents. They don’t stay this size for long so I love getting the chance to capture all their tiny details and cuteness at this tender age.
I have been trained with The Newborn Workshops and Kelly Brown, one of the top newborn photographers worldwide, on safety and posing and I pride myself on always making sure babies safety comes first. I aim to make sure that photo sessions are as relaxing and enjoyable as possible, for both baby and parents. Newborn sessions typically take place when baby is between 7 and 21 days old. For this reason it is advisable to get in contact while you are still pregnant or as soon as possible after.
Newborn packages start at €235, including your session fee. If you would like to know any more information on newborn sessions or pricing, or on having your newborn session in the comfort of your own home get in contact at info@edelomalley.com
When should I book my newborn session?
I always recommend to book your newborn session before baby arrives in order to guarantee availability. Anytime after your 20 week scan is normally plenty of time. I then make a provisional booking based on baby's due date. I only take a limited number of newborn sessions which allows me to keep time available either side of the due date in case baby arrives either early or late. Although I always recommend booking in advance, it is always worth calling even if baby has arrived.
At what stage after baby is born does the session normally take place?
The best time for a newborn session to take place is when baby is between 7 and 14 days old. Although up to two or three weeks is normally fine. The reason the session takes place at this stage is that this is when baby is most sleepy and flexible to allow them to comfortably move into poses. While baby is asleep it allows me to pose them and photograph them with the least amount of disruption. Baby's safety and comfort is always the most important aspect of a session to me, so I never move them or pose them in a way that will cause them any discomfort.
Where does the session take place?
My Galway studio isn't up and running yet so if you are booking from Galway all shoots are on location. This means I come to you and you can have your photos taken in the comfort of your own home.
If you are booking from Meath or surrounding areas the session normally takes place in my studio in Dunshaughlin village, Co. Meath. I am just off the N3 and not far from the M50 so very accessible.
How much should I expect to invest in my photographs?
A newborn session costs €155. You can then choose from my packages or you have the option of building your own package. This allows you to stick to whatever budget you would like and design a package around that. Packages begin at €235 which your session fee goes towards. All sessions include a post shoot consultation to help you choose your images or packages.
