Secure an appointment in good time

Make sure you book your appointment in good time and while you are still pregnant (ideally days/weeks before the birth). We will use your due date to reserve a provisional appointment. Of course, we also offer baby bump photo shoots. You can find out more about this on our website. Extra tip: Our baby bump shoots, newborn and baby shoots can also be given as a gift voucher.

Keep us updated

Please keep us informed if your newborn needs to stay in the hospital so that we can reschedule and adjust the date of your newborn shoot if necessary. In any case, your little darling should first have the opportunity to settle in properly at home and get used to his whole family before you come to our studio for newborn photography.
 

Best time for newborn photography

You should come to us with a few days old newborn. The best time for newborn photography is in the first days of life after birth and is between the 5th and 14th day of life of the newborn. Of course, baby photography or photos of your toddler can also lead to wonderful results at a later date. Maybe ours photogenic card with your discounts exactly the right thing for you.

Duration of the newborn shoot

A large newborn shooting lasts 2 to 3 hours including breaks. We take enough time to photograph your little mice and shoot the perfect newborn photographs. Therefore, bring enough time to your photo session and ideally do not plan any further follow-up appointments.

The newborn shoot with the sleeping child

You have enough time to change, change, cuddle and breastfeed and to put the child to sleep. We lay them Babies in the right positions and in front of the different backgrounds while sleeping. We adapt the set individually to your wishes. We will discuss the props with you in advance so that you can also bring the right clothes and the perfect outfits with you.

Perfectly equipped studios for newborn photography

The rooms of ours photo studios are well heated so that the babies are nice and warm during the newborn shoot, even if they are only wearing a cute bodysuit. Of course we also have a blanket to warm your newborn during possible breaks. As an adult, you shouldn't dress too bulky. It is best to come in the “onion look” so that you can take something off if necessary. You are welcome to use our photography props such as decorations, accessories, hats, doilies, boxes, baskets, hair bands, towels, etc. for photography. We offer a wide selection for both boys and girls in this area.

Newborn photo shoot checklist

If the baby is in a good mood, the photo shoot will run smoothly. Your baby should be fed and swaddled and wear loose, comfortable clothing. Only a sleeping newborn can be optimally photographed. Here you can read our tips so that your baby feels good and can slumber away blissfully.

General preparation

Consultation with the photographer

Are you planning a newborn shoot at home?

For the home shoot and the appropriate, resulting photography please think of suitable locations and good lighting conditions. Think about whether the baby shooting should take place in the living room, in the parents' bedroom or in the children's room. A couch, an armchair or a nice carpet are suitable for placing the child. When the weather is good, an outdoor shoot is also an option and beautiful photos can also be taken outside in the garden. A shady spot should be chosen. Beautiful pictures can also be taken at the baby shoot in your own home. We attach great importance to the fact that you hold great photos in your hands after your photo session. We are therefore happy to discuss the right prop for the baby photo shoot in your home with you in advance. Whether it's a blanket, a specific outfit, a picture with your siblings or other individual wishes - we fulfill your wishes with great attention to detail and also offer you the perfect one at home newborn photoshoot.
