How to prepare for your newborn photo session
A newborn photo session is a wonderful way to capture the memories of your little one and create lasting family moments. It is a time when you can bond with your baby and celebrate their arrival into the world.
When to make the appointment?
It is recommended that the photo session be scheduled as soon as the baby is born, but it is preferable to decide the details a few weeks in advance. The newborn photo session needs to be done in the first 2 weeks after birth.
Where is the studio located?
Our studio is located in Milton Keynes. You can see the exact location by following this link. Mihai Gonguta – Photo Studio .
What do you need to bring with you?
I recommend that you bring a change of clothes, a pacifier, and pampers.
How long does the newborn photo session last?
Depending on the package chosen and the child's mood, minimum 2 hours,
maximum 3-4 hours. It may seem like a long time, but in that time there will be one breastfeeding, maybe even two, infants, setups, etc.
What happens at the newborn photo session?
We'll start with some family photos and then follow with shots of the newborn baby in different setups.
How many photos do we get?
You will receive a gallery to select your favorite photos ( according to your package ). I do not provide all unedited photos / raw. The final digital photos will be sent by online link (not printed).
Extra digital photos can be purchased for 15 pounds/photo.
Who can come to the studio?
Only parents and kids can come to the studio. This is to avoid overcrowding.
How long does it take until I receive my photos?
You will receive your edited photos in a maximum of 20 working days from the moment you have finished your selection.
Do you provide albums or wall pictures?
You can find samples of various photo albums or wall decors in different sizes and colors at the studio. Prices vary depending on the size and model chosen.
Recommended outfit?
I recommend that the parents wear casual, neutral, matching, or black, with no prints if it's possible. Please avoid sports outfits. If you wish to wear shoes in the studio, please bring another pair of shoes. We do not accept footwear that you come in from outside.
Are pets allowed?
For reasons of health and safety, we do not accept pets in the studio.
How to make a booking?
You can book a photo session by contacting me on Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp. An 50 pounds deposit is required to book your photo session. The deposit is non-refundable if you don’t attend on time at the studio. The rest of the payment can be paid by cash or bank transfer on the photo session day.
How are the photos edited?
All photos are professionally retouched in my personal style, a few examples can be seen in the gallery. I do not perform edits as body recomposition.
Are there any extra charges for twins and triplets?
There is a 30% increase in the price for the photo session with twins/triplets.
Please make sure you arrive in time for your photo session as you have a limited time slot. I recommend you arrive 10-15 mins early. For delays over 20 mins, there is an extra 30 pounds charge, if the schedule allowed for the photo session to still take place otherwise the photo session will be canceled.
I do not allow the use of any camera devices / mobile phones in the studio for taking photos or videos.
If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you.
