Our Studio Experience

Our Vancouver studio was intentionally designed with new parents in mind.

✔ Temperature-controlled for newborn comfort
✔ Clean, sanitized props and fabrics
✔ Comfortable seating, refreshments, and space to relax
✔ A peaceful environment that feels calm, welcoming, and unhurried

 

Many parents tell us the session feels like a break — a moment to breathe and enjoy their baby while everything is taken care of.

When to Book Your Newborn Session

Newborn sessions are best photographed when babies are between 7–14 days old, when they are naturally sleepy and easily settled.

 

We strongly recommend booking during your second trimester to ensure availability and for the Early Bird Booking benefit . Your session date will be tentatively reserved based on your due date, with flexibility once your baby arrives.

Preparing for Your Newborn Session

We keep preparation simple and stress-free. Before your session, you’ll receive a detailed guide, but here’s what most parents love knowing:

  • Feed your baby just before arriving, if possible
  • Bring extra milk or formula for breaks
  • Dress baby in loose, easy-to-remove clothing
  • Parents are encouraged to wear neutral, timeless tones

We provide everything else — from wraps and outfits to gentle guidance throughout the session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Certainly! Even if your baby has already arrived, you can still book a newborn session. As long as we have an available slot and your schedule allows for flexibility, we can make it work. While we typically recommend photographing newborns within the first 2 weeks after birth, we're open to capturing older babies up to 4 weeks. Just keep in mind that certain poses may not be as feasible, and the baby may be mostly wrapped during the session. Let's coordinate and create some wonderful memories!

Did you know only about 3% of babies actually arrive on their due date? By booking in advance, we make sure to secure your spot, no matter when your little one decides to make their grand entrance. Once your baby arrives, we'll work together to schedule a date and time, usually within the first 2 weeks. We kindly request that you give us a heads-up about the arrival within a couple of days. Our newborn photography sessions typically happen on weekdays, but if you really need a weekend slot, just let us know when you're booking, and we'll do our best to accommodate.

What we specialize in is creating beautiful, artistic newborn photos, and our studio is the perfect place for it! We've got fantastic lighting, an array of props that would be tough to bring to your home, and all you have to do is show up.While the idea of a home session might sound tempting, it can limit the creative possibilities unless you're specifically after a lifestyle newborn photography style. Also, home sessions can involve some cleaning efforts – not exactly what you want to tackle with a full-time job, 24/7 baby duties, and the need for plenty of natural light spots.

When you come to our studio, it's like a refreshing break for you. You get to sit back, enjoy the magic unfolding, relax with some coffee and snacks for a couple of hours, and we take care of all the details with your precious baby. It's a stress-free and enjoyable experience!

At our studio, we've got everything covered, except for one thing – milk. So, it's super important that you bring along enough milk for your baby. Even if you're exclusively breastfeeding, it's a good idea to have some extra milk on hand – whether it's pumped or formula. Sometimes babies may seem settled on the breast even if they're not entirely full, as it's incredibly soothing. But, let's face it, it's just not the same when they're not on mom.

Also, if your little one enjoys using a pacifier for comfort, feel free to bring one along. Using a pacifier for a day won't cause any feeding issues, unless of course, your doctor or nurse has advised otherwise, especially if your baby is still getting the hang of latching. We want to make sure everyone's comfy and happy during the session!

We absolutely love it when clients bring personal touches that hold special meaning – whether it's a cozy blanket knitted by grandma, a basketball because mom and dad are hoops fans, or even baby's very first stuffed animal. After all, it's your baby's session, and images with those special elements will carry so much more significance. Feel free to bring those cherished items that add that extra touch of love!

When it comes to newborn photos, having outfits that coordinate in the same tone is key! We've noticed that natural tones really enhance the soft and gentle vibe in newborn photos. It's best to steer clear of logos, characters, or super vibrant patterns – keeping it simple works wonders. If you'd like, you can also use some of our maternity gowns for moms, and we've got dresses for older siblings, from toddlers to 8 years old. Let's make sure everyone looks fantastic and feels comfortable!

Your investment's true worth isn't found in unfinished work. Raw and unedited files are akin to the uncooked, unused meat in a restaurant kitchen—seldom requested by customers. Just as your fine dining experience thrives on expert service and impeccably presented dishes delivering delectable flavours, your exceptional newborn photography experience hinges on superb service, meticulously crafted images with the final touch, and top-notch products that showcase those images in the best possible way. It's all about creating a memorable and delightful experience for you!

After your session, we put our heart into carefully selecting and softly editing the images. You can expect to see your personalized gallery online within just a couple of days! From there, you've got about two weeks to make your selections. Quick tip: the sooner you dive into selecting, the more you'll feel the magic in those images, making the process even more enjoyable.

Once we receive your selections, it takes around 3 to 4 weeks for the final images to be ready. After the products are designed and finalized, we place the order, and usually, they arrive at our studio within 3 to 4 weeks. We'll then deliver the finished product right to your home, allowing you to relive the magic not just once but for years to come.

Feel free to reach out with any other questions! You can contact us through phone, email, or direct messages. Alternatively, jot down your questions and bring them up during the phone consultation. We're here to help!

Hear it from those who've experienced the magic!

Had a great experience for my son's newborn photo shoot. Iris was so caring and gentle with the baby, and the baby slept through the whole session with no problem. We had so much fun seeing him in cute outfits and cute poses and she made the whole experience one that we will remember forever. Photos ended up turing great and we are very happy and grateful for the whole experience. highly recommend
Visited the studio today for my daughter's newborn shots and we were not disappointed! Emily is a baby whisperer! She was so calm, patient and gentle with my girl, who normally hates being swaddled and naked. As a first time mom, I'll be using some of her techniques to soothe my baby. The studio is such a warm and calming environment which put us all at ease. Not to mention, their pricing is fair and more than reasonable. The experience was better than we expected and I will definitely be a return customer! Don't hesitate and book this fabulous team for your next photoshoot!
Rachel got the most beautiful shots of my 10 day old son. She had the setups exactly how I had asked for them, was amazing at handling my baby (I learned a few tricks from her about calming him!) and was so patient with him throughout the session. It was a great experience and I will treasure the pictures.
