​Frequently Asked Questions

When Should I Book My Newborn Photoshoot?

Newborn sessions can be booked any time after your 12-week scan, although most families choose to book around the 20-week mark.

I only take a limited number of newborn bookings each month to make sure I have flexibility around your due date, no matter when your baby decides to arrive.

How Much Do Your Newborn Photography Sessions Cost?

Newborn photography is an investment in images you will keep for a lifetime.

My pricing is simple: you pay a £100 session fee to secure your booking, then choose your preferred image package after viewing your gallery. Packages start from £300.

✓ Most families choose Collection 3 (£575), which includes all of the edited images from their gallery and offers the best value for families who don't want to choose between their favourite photographs.

​What Happens During a Newborn Session?

My newborn sessions are entirely baby-led.

When you arrive, we’ll have a chat and give you time to settle into the studio. If your baby is sound asleep, we can begin the session, but if they are awake or need a feed, there is absolutely no rush.

Every newborn session is different, and everything is guided by your baby, their comfort, and what feels right for you as a family.

Where Does the Session Take Place?

Newborn sessions take place in my warm home studio in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire.

My studio is a designated room directly off the hallway as you enter my home. It is cosy, calm and welcoming, and has been created specifically with newborn babies and new parents in mind.

For me, a home studio has always felt like the perfect environment for newborn photography. It allows sessions to feel relaxed, personal and unhurried, which is exactly how I believe this experience should be.

Are Parents and Siblings Included?

Absolutely!

The newborn stage is so fleeting, and I gently encourage parents to have at least one family photograph taken during the session.
I completely understand if you would rather not, and that is absolutely fine, but these images often become some of the most treasured in the gallery. Your baby will love having photographs of you together in years to come.

Siblings are always welcome in the studio. With younger siblings, we usually take these photographs at the start or end of the session, depending on what works best for your family. This allows them to be involved without becoming bored while their new brother or sister is being photographed.

What If My Baby Doesn't Sleep?

Please don't worry.

Many parents arrive concerned that their baby won't sleep, but newborn sessions are designed to be flexible and baby-led. With plenty of time allowed for feeding, cuddles and settling, most babies drift off naturally during the session.

Even if your baby prefers to stay awake, beautiful images are still possible, and some of my favourite portraits have been created with alert newborns.


​Newborn sessions take place in the first 3 weeks of the baby's life, but preferably in the first 5-12 days.  At this stage your baby is still sleepy and can curl up easily, just as they were in the womb.  Due to the hours dedicated to newborn art, I allocate a limited number of newborn sessions each month and therefore it is recommended that you book your newborn session as soon as you can between your 12 and 20 week scans.  A provisional booking based on your due date and then I will wait to hear from you once your baby arrives to arrange the session.

Newborn sessions are very relaxed and take approximately 3hrs.  This allows plenty of time for feeding and changing baby throughout the shoot and usually guarantees a period of time when the baby will sleep soundly for posing.

My aim is to provide you with stunning artwork that you will proudly hang on the walls within your home.  To ensure that we achieve this, I consult with parents before the shoot on colour preferences and and particular likes and dislikes.  

I look forward to welcoming you and your newborn to one of my studio sessions.

Newborn Sessions can be booked here (from your 12 week scan onwards).  Please also visit my Facebook page to view preview images that I am creating on a daily basis.

​'Loved our newborn shoot, the variety of images and the lovely relaxed atmosphere...So much so we are booking a sitter session. 
Lynne was just fantastic from start to finish. The images captured of our boy were simply beautiful. We loved how Lynne takes into consideration home decor and colour preference to create the perfect backdrop. The use of deep colours and family tartans is what drew us to contacting Lynne in the first place'
