The Newborn Investment Guide
I’m Shanna
Your Bradford Newborn Photographer
I’ve always enjoyed working with people and creating beautiful things, and being able to use my camera to preserve moments that will last a lifetime is a true gift in my life. That’s why I love newborn sessions.
Let’s ensure your most important moments are beautifully preserved for you to enjoy now and in years to come! Check out my newborn investment guide and get your session on my calendar.
When it comes to newborn sessions, I offer three different options.
For the family collection, family & sibling shots are done in the luxurious, white & slightly bo-ho studio bedroom.
A gorgeous collection of unique, vintage style props: delicate lace mixed with rustic burlap layers & stunning, hand crafted bonnets, headbands and little outfits specifically designed for Newborn Portraiture. All pieces have been curated by me to reflect my signature style.
Looking to capture just your new little one? Then the baby-posed session is for you!
Focus is all on baby, using various props and setups based on your color preferences.

Questions?
Where do newborn sessions take place?
Newborn Sessions take place in my home studio (located in Bradford).
My cozy, dedicated studio space has everything we need to create beautiful images of your new baby and I keep the studio quite warm to keep baby sleepy.
I also have a wide assortment of hand curated props & accessories to style your session just to your liking.
My style includes neutrals, soft muted color, lots of texture (think burlap, jute & lace), and rustic & vintage touches.
I also love light and shadows; my images include lots of depth which highlights your baby’s sweet features.
Questions?
Does my baby have to be sleeping during the session?
That’s a great question and I hear this a lot.
Honestly, I will do everything in my power to ensure your baby settles into a nice comfy sleep so we can capture the sweet, sleepy poses you see in my portfolio!
New babies don’t have much control over their limbs or eyes (lol!), so sleeping babies generally are more flattering when being photographed.
Babies are also more posable when asleep, with no flailing limbs & less startle-reflex.
Questions?
How would you describe your style?
Style definitely matters.
As a photographer, I’ve fine-tuned and honed in-on what I feel is a signature style that defines my newborn photography work & sets me apart!
For one, I have a wide assortment of hand-curated props & accessories to style your session just to your liking.
My personal style also incorporates lots of neutrals, soft muted colors, lots of texture (think burlap, jute & lace) and rustic & vintage touches.
I do blanket posing as well, though it’s important to bear in mind that each baby is different & comfortable in different ways.
To get the most out of a newborn session, I will follow your baby’s lead. For example, if they do not like being naked, we’ll likely do more wrapped poses and I have a wide assortment of wraps, layers, bonnets and headbands that I use to give a wide variety in your gallery – from ‘simply baby unadorned’ to a ‘floral crown’.
Everything I’ve chosen in my studio is meant to flow together to create my signature style!
I love shadows & light; my images include lots of depth, which highlights your baby’s sweet features (so you won’t see flat, even lighting from me)!
If you love what you see on my site, odds are my style is for you!
Questions?
What happens if my baby’s siblings won’t cooperate for the pictures?
Another great question, and I’m not going to lie:
Sibling shots are definitely the trickiest part of newborn photography and particularly so when the sibling is still very young themselves!
That said, I am definitely stubborn & very experienced and I always work extremely hard to ensure you’ll have a great sibling photo!
I have years of experience working with kids and have definitely learned more than a few tricks during that time, believe me.
One thing I do recommend is starting with sibling shots first during your session and then having Dad or a Grandparent take the sibling out for an hour or two while we work with baby.
Simple in its approach but it definitely works!
Questions?
When should I book my newborn session?
It’s typically best to book your session well in advance to ensure a space on my calendar!
Newborn photography sessions are best done in the first 2-3 weeks after birth, as during this period babies tend to still be quite sleepy. This makes it MUCH easier to achieve the sweet, peaceful images you see featured in my portfolio.
I typically book newborn sessions on weekday mornings with a 10am start time, and the sessions last from 2-4 hours depending on your package.
This time also accounts for many feedings & lots of soothing!
Note: If you are planning to book both Maternity & Newborn sessions, I do offer a packaged discount if you book them both at the same time 🙂
