Newborn Photography Gifts

Give new parents something their baby will never grow out of: beautiful portraits that the whole family will treasure for a lifetime, captured by the MPA Central Region Newborn Photographer of the Year 2019. I offer a Newborn Photography Gift Set for every budget.

The Perfect Present for Baby Showers and New Baby Gifts

Newborns grow up so quickly – let’s capture those precious first few weeks of life when baby is still curled-up and sleepy. I am a Qualified Professional Photographer and Certified Newborn Specialist. I will soothe, pose and capture portraits of the new arrival in my calm, relaxed and beautiful studio. 

The experience is all part of the gift – from the beautiful presentation of the Gift Boxes to the pre-shoot consultation and the refreshments and fresh cookies on the day of the shoot 🙂

“Hi Sarah, Phil and I wanted to thank you for the beautiful photos which we have just seen, they are amazing! Also a big thank you for making the photo shoot such an enjoyable occasion for Gabby and George. They came to dinner afterwards and told us how relaxed and easy you made things for them.”

“Thank you very much for the lovely photographs, they are so nice to have as a keepsake and to remember her newborn-ness. I really liked the experience just as much as the photos. I could relax, the baby was taken care of and happy and it felt very positive. Newborns can’t do much and are demanding so it was nice to do something with her in such a positive way.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I buy a Newborn Photography Gift Set?

To see the Gift Set options, email [email protected] or call me on 07832 196657. Let me know which one you’d like to go for and I’ll email across an invoice for the one you’ve chosen. Once I receive your payment (via PayPal or Bank Transfer) I will dispatch your gift to your address or directly to the recipient.

If you would prefer to make payment in person, I accept debit/credit card, cash and cheques at my Bicester studio.

Argh! I need the gift immediately!

Don’t worry! I can get a personalised e-Gift Certificate emailed over to you within a few hours on receipt of payment. And if you live in/near Bicester you can collect a Gift Set same-day. For less urgent purchases, I can post to you within 48 working hours.

Are family and sibling shots included?

Yes! I actively encourage new parents to be in some of the shots. In years to come your baby will love to look at them and see how proud and happy you were to hold him or her for the first time. Mums & Dads: I appreciate you may not feel that you’re looking your best, as you’re adjusting to a new sleep routine (and mums, you’ve just given birth!). However, I’ll use flattering posing and my magical studio light to capture you looking radiant, joyful and beautiful, so please don’t miss out. Be part of your baby’s milestones 🙂 #ExistInPhotos

When does the newborn photoshoot need to take place?

Newborn photoshoots ideally take place between 5 days old and 2 weeks old – as soon as baby is feeding and settling we can have go ahead. I only take on a limited number of newborn shoots each month to allow for shuffling around based on baby’s arrival date, so if you decide to go ahead I’ll add your recipient to my schedule for her due month. This means her place on my schedule is reserved, no matter if baby is early, late or perfectly on time!

However, if there are complications after birth that mean mum and baby have to stay in hospital a little longer, don’t worry. I can photograph older babies in the newborn style whenever the new parents are ready (although the range of poses will be slightly different depending on baby’s development).

And if the new parents prefer to use their gift when baby is a few months old, or sitting up, or even walking, that’s fine. The shoot can be taken at any point within 12 months of the baby’s due date.
