Frequently Asked Questions

Here are our answers to a few questions that get asked fairly regularly. If you have another question, please don’t hesitate to contact us and we will do our best to answer timorously.

What is the ideal age for a newborn photography session?

For newborn photography the ideal age is under 12 days and the best time is between 5 - 8 days when babies are that tiny they spend a lot of time sleeping and still curl up into very sweet poses similar to the positions they were in when they were in the womb. After two weeks babies go through a growth spurt and will start stretching their arms and legs and will not be as amenable to curling up for a picture or sleeping as soundly, which is needed for some of the poses and photographs in props like the baskets, buckets, etc.

Where do the shoots take place?

For maternity and family lifestyle session the tranquility of outdoor location tends to produce the best images. However, for privacy reason we would love to offer our flexibility and happy to schedule the session at  your residence.
For newborn, we believe the best location for this session is your Home where everything is accessible to you in the most convenient way. Therefore, instead of asking you to come to us, we will come to you with complete studio set up and assure you the most comfortable experience through out the session.
Fresh 48 session can be scheduled at hospital, birth center, your residence

Yes

Can other members of my family take part?

Absolutely. The session fee accommodates up to 4 people. Additional participants are welcome at AED 50 per person.

What if my baby doesn’t sleep during the session?

If you use the tips we provide you with and your baby is warm, fed and content – he/she will often fall asleep. It may take a while but I have some well practiced techniques which usually work. This is also the reason why shoots can take up to 4 hours. However, in rare case if your little one does not want to sleep we will still continue with the session and work our best to capture the most memorable images of you and your little one.  

We love a particular picture in your gallery; can we have something like that?

If there are any particular images you’ve seen in our portfolio that you want us to try and achieve please let us know beforehand so we can bring the relevant equipment and props. We will do our utmost to achieve this for you but it just depends how willing the baby is on that day. We will never force a pose as this is reflected in the images.

What if my child doesn’t smile?

Please don’t feel that we will expect you to help make your child ‘perform’ and ‘be good’. Don’t worry and try to relax as your child may be shy to begin with and be reluctant to have photos taken. When your child sees us interacting with you as the parents, we will become someone who can be trusted. Once trust is established, your child should feel comfortable in my presence and smiles should come naturally. Every finger crossed!

​What happens after the session?

You will receive all thumbnail images (low resolution) so you can select the pictures that you want to be edited.
