Booking Your Newborn Session with Alana-Marie Photography
Mount Cotton Newborn Photographer | Redlands | Brisbane | Gold Coast
Whether you're a first-time parent or adding to your growing family, here’s everything you need to know about booking your newborn session with us.
📅 When to Book Your Newborn Session
We recommend booking your newborn session while you’re still pregnant — ideally in your second or early third trimester. This helps us pencil in a session around your estimated due date and ensures availability in those precious first few weeks after your baby arrives.
Once your baby is born, simply get in touch to confirm a session date — ideally within the first 14 days, when your newborn is most likely to be sleepy, curled up, and oh-so-snuggly.

👶 What if My Baby Is Older?
Missed the two-week window? No worries! Beautiful and meaningful portraits can be captured at every stage. Slightly older newborns may be more awake and expressive, and those wide-eyed stares and little yawns are just as magical.
💕 Special Note for Preemies & Multiples
Premature babies and twins/triplets may have longer hospital stays, and their “sleepy and squishy” window can last a little longer. We’re more than happy to accommodate these unique needs, and there’s no extra charge for multiples — you’ll pay the same session fee as for a single newborn.


📸 What to Expect
Before your session, we’ll have a quick chat to go over your style preferences, favourite colour palettes, and how to prepare. Don’t worry — it’s simple and stress-free.
On the day of your session:
Just bring your baby, any bottles, comforters, or special items you’d like to include
Sit back and relax in our comfortable studio space
Enjoy a warm coffee, have a chat, and watch your little one be gently guided through a series of sweet, natural poses
Alana will take care of everything — from wrapping and soothing to capturing those dreamy details you’ll treasure forever.
