The Babies by Jackie Newborn Portrait Experience - Personalised, Stress-Free Baby Portraiture

Capturing treasured memories of those first few precious days with your new baby is truly a privilege. Taking extra special care of new mums (and dads!), we will make your Newborn Portrait Experience stress-free and enjoyable from start to finish.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM A BABIES BY JACKIE NEWBORN PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE?

Expect to be thoroughly spoiled!

From start to finish, your experience is every bit as important to us as the final artwork you display in your home.

NOT JUST ANY BABY PHOTOS...

Your new baby's first ever portraits should be as unique and individual as they are, with colour schemes and themes tailored to your home and family style.

This is why your Babies by Jackie Newborn Portrait Experience is bespoke designed for you. 

How does it work?

It all begins with your DESIGN CONSULTATION appointment.

A few months before your baby's due date, you will meet with Jackie at the Babies By Jackie Studio to create a personal Style Plan for your portraits.

Over plenty of tea and biscuits, Jackie will guide you through the process of styling your photoshoot to ensure that the portraits created truly reflect your family’s unique personality.

You will discuss themes and colour schemes, props and personal items, family interests and any special requests.

You will use our custom-developed app to find the perfect colour scheme, choose your favourite props and outfits from our wide selection and browse our sample artwork to consider how you will display your portraits in your home.

Together you will make your Newborn Portrait Experience uniquely yours!

(See our recent blog post for more information about Personalising Your Newborn Portrait Experience).

Relax and Enjoy

On the day of your PHOTOSHOOT, everything will be set up in the studio ready for your arrival, so you can just relax and enjoy the day.

Working at baby's own pace with as many breaks for feeding and comforting as needed makes for a stress-free, chilled-out session for everyone.

And while your little one is snoozing contentedly for his photos, don't worry if you also nod off on our super comfy sofa - it wouldn't be the first time!

The Final Images

Around three weeks after your photoshoot, you will return to the studio for your VIEWING AND ORDERING APPOINTMENT will take place around three weeks after your photoshoot.

Arguably everyone's favourite part of the Newborn Portrait Experience - when you see finished images for the first time. Tissues at the ready!

Then, you will select your favourites and how you want to display them from our beautiful hand-crafted wall art pieces, prints, and albums, all from the world's best suppliers. And with our specialist design software you will even be able to preview how your chosen artwork will look in your home.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

CAN WE HAVE SOME PHOTOS WITH PARENTS AND SIBLINGS?

Of course! Jackie always includes photos with parents and any siblings - that First Family Portrait is THE most important photo!

Portraits with mum and dad are a beautiful reminder of this magical time, especially skin-to-skin images to highlight the bond between baby and parents.

Many new mums worry about how they will look in these photos or how younger siblings will behave for the family photos, but fear not, Jackie will take care of everything!

WHAT ABOUT PETS?

Your pets are of course part of the family! If you want a photo with your well-behaved pet included, please contact the studio in advance to discuss practicalities.

For safety reasons, Jackie will almost always use composite images for photos that include babies and animals.

HOW OLD SHOULD MY BABY BE FOR A NEWBORN PHOTO SESSION?

The ideal age for newborn photos is between 5 and 14 days. 

For the first two to three weeks babies are still used to being curled up snugly in the womb, and they find the cosy, comfortable poses Jackie uses second-nature. 

If, however, you have an older newborn, please do reach out. Jackie regularly photographs older babies and is happy to accommodate last-minute bookings, schedule permitting.

WHERE DOES THE NEWBORN PHOTO SHOOT TAKE PLACE?

All appointments take place in the comfort of our custom-built studio in the lovely village of Hemingbrough, where we have everything we need to keep you and your baby comfortable. All outfits and props are provided for the session, so all you need to provide is the baby!

ALL THE LITTLE DETAILS: From that button nose to those tiny toes, Jackie will capture all those precious features for you.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

The Newborn Portrait Experience fee is £250, which includes the Design Consultation, 3-5 hour photoshoot, post-processing and image rendering, Viewing and Ordering appointment.

All artwork and image files are purchased separately, with prices starting at £95, collections from £475, wall art from £500 and albums from £1450.  See our Pricing page for more information.
