If you’re a first-time parent in Pietermaritzburg, booking a newborn photoshoot may feel a bit overwhelming — but don’t worry! Here are my top tips to help you feel calm and confident going into your session:
1. Book early – The best time to photograph your baby is between 5–14 days old, so booking during your pregnancy ensures availability.
2. Feed just before the session – A full baby is a sleepy baby, and that’s ideal for those peaceful, curled-up poses.
3. Dress simply – Neutral, solid colours photograph beautifully and keep the focus on your baby.
4. Trust the process – I guide every session with care and experience. Your job? Relax and soak in the moment.
5. Bring sentimental items – If you have a special blanket, teddy, or heirloom, I’ll find a beautiful way to include it.
Your baby is only this tiny once — and together, we’ll create memories that last forever.
