Newborn photography Safety

Your baby’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities during every newborn photography session. We respect your baby’s natural rhythm, ensuring their comfort is maintained throughout the shoot. Sessions are always flexible, with breaks for soothing, feeding, or rest whenever needed to create a calm and stress-free experience.

All props and equipment are thoroughly sanitized after each use and again before every session, guaranteeing a hygienic and safe environment. We use only professional photography equipment that meets strict safety standards and carefully adjust poses to suit your baby’s physical condition, ensuring their well-being at all times.

As a professional newborn photographer, I am committed to capturing your baby’s precious moments with the utmost care, making the session both safe and enjoyable for your family.

To further protect your baby’s health, I take personal hygiene and preventative measures very seriously and have completed the following vaccinations:

• COVID-19 Full Vaccination

• Whooping Cough Vaccination

• Influenza Vaccine

Your peace of mind and your baby’s safety are at the heart of everything we do.

    One of the standout qualities of Alex is his incredible patience and ability to calm babies. Working with babies can be unpredictable, but Alex handled every moment with grace and understanding. He had a natural talent for soothing our baby, using gentle techniques that kept our little one content and happy throughout the session. This skill is invaluable and made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. The final result is absolutely great. I would highly recommend Alex for your baby's photo shoot

  • Lois Cheung

    We had a great newborn photography session with Alex. He was professional, friendly and responsive and we would highly recommend him to others. He was great with our baby and even toddler as well and was able to capture the moment perfectly. We were very pleased with the final photos which exceeded our expectations.

  • Angel Lam

    I had 2 incredible experiences with Alex. Both my maternity shoot and our newborn shoot were handled with care and professionalism. Loved their work and enjoyed it throughout. Alex even looked after our fur buddy and allow her to join into pic. We had an incredible time during our newborn shoot and we were so extremely thankful for how flexible and understanding Alex was. We will be back plus we cannot wait to rave about you to our family and friends. Definitely would recommend it for a shoot.

  • Yuki Yuen

    Alex’s professionalism, from booking to photo delivery, was top-notch. We highly recommend their services to any new parents wanting to preserve these fleeting newborn moments.

    Our experience with Alex was exceptional. He captured our newborn's precious early days with remarkable skill and artistry. The photographer's gentle approach put both baby and parents at ease, resulting in natural, heartwarming images.

    The attention to detail in posing and lighting was impressive, highlighting our little one's delicate features. We were particularly impressed with the creative use of props and backgrounds, which added charm without overshadowing our baby.

    The final gallery exceeded our expectations, providing a beautiful mix of posed portraits and candid moments. These photos will be treasured for years to come.

  • Putri Melatika

    Alex is very humble and passionate into his job. He has his own taste to deliver the art. Very detail and professional.

  • Aya Bersga

    Alex was very patient throughout the session. My bub was unsettled but Alex showed professional skills in reassuring my bub. Alex also gave clear instructions for posing which made my husband and I less uncomfortable for the family shoot as we are both camera shy. Fantastic experience and I love the props and wrapping style for the newborn session. Highly recommended.

  • Bonita Chen

    We're so lucky to have Alex capturing our precious moments when our baby girl who was 16 days old. He is also great with our 4 year old energised boy so we have lovely family photos too!

    Highly recommend Alex if you don't want to miss your special time.

  • Jimmy Lam

    We had such a great experience with Alex as our newborn photographer. From the moment he arrived, he was super prepared with lots of cute props and creative photo ideas that really fit our style.

    What really impressed us was how kind and gentle Alex was with our daughter, Phoebe. She wasn’t very cooperative that day, but Alex had so much patience. He didn’t rush us or try to force anything, which made the whole session feel really relaxed. As a newborn, Phoebe needs to be fed every 3 hours and Alex would patiently wait when it was time.

    The photos Alex took are amazing. He captured all the little details and moments that we’ll cherish forever. We’re so happy with how everything turned out.

    If you’re looking for a photographer who’s not only talented but also really kind and patient, Alex is your guy. We couldn’t be happier with the whole experience and the beautiful photos he created for us.

    Also, Alex speaks Cantonese which is really convenient for us ( Hong Kong parents)

 FAQs

  • Highly recommend 5-14days, This period is ideal because babies are usually very sleepy, flexible, and easier to pose. If over 2weeks babies may become more alert and less willing to settle into poses. We are still able to take photographs, but we just need more time to get a baby settled.

  • Newborn sessions can last between 3 and 4 hours. This includes time for feeding, soothing, nappy changing and photography. I only photograph one baby at a day, so there is no rush if your baby needs more time.

  • Book a session as soon as you know your due date. I usually book you 7-10days after your expected due date. So please let me know when the baby arrives so we can reschedule if necessary.

  • Yes!. To accommodate your schedule and ensure we capture your baby's first moments in the most relaxed and comfortable setting, I am happy to offer sessions on weekends. This flexibility allows us to provide the best service for you and your family.

  • Absolutely! I would be more than happy to come to your home for the session. Alternatively, you’re also welcome to visit my home studio. Please note that there may be a travel fee depending on your location.

  • Creating your beautiful photo gallery will take many hours of work before it is ready to view. Digital collections will take 2-4 weeks.

  • To capture your natural beauty, we recommend a soft, light makeup look for mothers. However, if you would prefer a professional makeup artist, we would be delighted to arrange this for you. Please note that this service is available at an additional cost.

  • If you see my gallery, you’ll notice that I rarely use props in my photos. I believe that simple, timeless images are the most beautiful and enduring. So, there’s no need to worry about preparing any props — we’ll focus on capturing your baby’s natural beauty. However, if you have anything special that you’d like to include in the photos, I’m more than happy to incorporate it into the session!

  • I would recommend soft neutrals, like off-white, light gray, cream, and beige. If you don’t have these colors, plain white or black clothing works well too. Please try to avoid bright colors and clothing with large logos.
