Baby's Birth Statistics
Please fill in your baby's birth statistics, including whether your baby was born full-term or not. This helps me plan how best to photograph your baby and which props will be most suitable, as pre-term babies may require special handling.

The Birth
You may use this space to tell me about your birth experience and any factors that you may wish for me to aware of, so I can ensure your comfort at the session. Feel free to share how you are feeling right now about becoming a parent. It's both wonderful and overwhelming and as a mother myself I understand all the emotions you may be experiencing. All information given will be treated in the strictest confidence.
Do you have any other children? If so, how many?

If you have any other children, please provide their names and dates of birth. This helps me to schedule time in your session for getting images of your newborn with their sibling(s)

Your Portrait Session Goals
It's one thing to hire a professional photographer to create beautiful images of your family, but another to actually do something with those images. It's time to think about how you might want to display your photographs, whether that's a contemporary wall display, framed images, archive-quality mounted display prints, or a luxury heirloom album to pass down the generations.
Ask yourself: 'How do I want to see these images 5 to 10 years from now?'
- Single Wall Portrait
- Multiple Wall Portrait Series
- Heirloom Album
- Mounted Display Prints
- Not sure, but I'm thinking about it!
Which room do you want to hang or display a portrait in?
Give the specific wall or location you have in mind, then follow the instructions in your pre-session guide on how to photograph this wall. With this image of your home, I will be able to show you your images in a variety of layout options and at the correct size at your viewing and ordering appointment.
What is your vision for your session?
Please describe what images you most want to capture. It could be a family portrait, your baby with his or her siblings, close-ups of the small details such as eyelashes, tiny fingernails, toes and lips, the classic mother and newborn pose, or simply a full-body portrait capturing your tiny baby at this moment in time.
What is your vision for your session?
Please describe what images you most want to capture. It could be a full family portrait, your children all playing together, individual portraits of each child, or your family simply goofing around together.
What is your vision for your session?
Please describe what images you most want to capture. It could be a full-body portrait or a series of images capturing your baby's facial expression. Tell me what you have in mind.
How has becoming a parent changed the way you feel about family and love? How would you like the feel of your family portrayed in your portraits?
Are there any images on my website or Facebook page that you are particularly drawn to? If so, why?
Please describe the image as best you can.
Do you generally prefer colour or black and white images?
What colour tones are you most drawn to?
What is your style and home decor?
Tell me about the inside of your home and describe your style. You can use words such as modern, vintage, cottage, Victorian, bright, organic, bold, vibrant, traditional, pastel, soft, pretty, edge, minimalist, eclectic, rustic, rich tones. Please include colours.
If you had an unlimited budget for furniture, where would you shop?
Your nursery's decor
If you have a nursery for the baby, please describe the decor and share what colours you have chosen. You can also send me a picture, if you would like.
Likes and Interests
I want your children to enjoy their photography session with me, so it really helps if you can tell me what things make them smile so I can engage with them! What books, films, songs, cartoon characters or toys are your child's favourites? Are there any special needs or personality characteristics that I should know about?
About You and Your Family
Help me get to know you by describing things that are unique to your family. Does anyone have any habits or interesting character traits? Is there a special daily routine? Is there a facial expression, behaviour, movement or stance that is decidedly 'you'?
