The light decides the hour

A home newborn session is entirely dependent on daylight, and daylight is not the same all year.

The same window gives quite different light in different seasons, and the hour that works in one month is not the hour that works in another.

That is why we ask which way your flat faces rather than which time you would prefer. The direction and the season together decide the hour.

An overcast sky is the single best thing that can happen to a home newborn session. It is soft, even, and it lasts most of the day instead of an hour.

Bright direct sun is harder, not easier. It produces harsh edges and deep shadow, and it moves fast enough that a room usable at ten is unusable at eleven.

None of this is a problem once known, and it is the reason the studio exists as an option — controlled light does not care what the sky is doing.

Tell us the direction and roughly when the baby is due, and we will suggest an hour rather than asking you to pick one.

A sheer curtain over the window is worth mentioning because it is the cheapest useful thing in this whole subject.

It turns direct sun into soft even light instantly, which is exactly what a newborn session wants, and almost every flat already has one.

Where there is none, a plain white sheet does the same job and takes a minute to put up.

The other thing worth knowing is that we would rather move an hour than move a day.

A session shifted from mid-morning to late afternoon usually solves a light problem completely, where postponing to another date solves nothing and costs a week of the window.

Ask about the hour before assuming the date is the problem.
