Newborn Pricing

Please book an appointment with us between week 30-37 when you’re closer to your due date.  This will be a tentative appointment and may or may not change depending on what day you ended up giving birth.

Between day 6 to day 21 is the best time.  Older than 21 days, the newborns start to be awake most of the time, have muscles and move lots so it’s more difficult to take newborn style posed photographs.

Your baby should be dressed with some clothing that doesn’t go over the head so it’s easy to take off.  When arriving, if the baby is fast asleep, we will start the shoot right away so we want to make sure we can pose and wrap the baby without waking them up.

If you’re taking pictures with the baby, please be well groomed for men and hair and makeup done for women.  The studio provides motherhood dresses in sizes XS to 2XL. For men, please come in a neutral colored shirt or polo shirt, or suit.  If taking motherhood photos with one of the studio dresses, a suit would be better.

Yes! We have no problems with breastfeeding.  We also have a breastfeeding chair and cushion if needed.  You can also feed the baby with formula or frozen breastmilk.  If breastfeeding, make sure your milk supply has come in, though.  A hungry baby will be very difficult to photograph.

Depending on where you’re coming from, you may want to feed the baby before leaving.  When arriving, we will ask you to feed the baby once more to make sure they are fully fed and happy.  If they are wearing clothes, we will remove the clothes first as we don’t want to wake up the baby as they feed.

Throughout the session, the photographer will inform you when the baby needs to  fed.  The photographer will give the baby a bottle, or the mother can choose to breastfeed.

A female photographer.  My name is Mira and I am Canadian.  I am a mother of two (9 months old boy and 2.5 old girl).  I speak Japanese, English and French.

Please bring a pacifier, 2-3 bottles for feeding, formula or frozen breastmilk, diapers, wet wipes and anything you want us to take pictures of.  Please do not forget the pacifier as it helps the baby focus on something else when posing.

We will send you a preparation guide before your session.
