Newborn Photoshoot FAQ — Answers for Parents | Svetlana Popova

How long does the photoshoot take?

2-3 hours. I always adapt to the baby’s well-being and focus on achieving the best results rather than strictly on time.

At what age is the newborn session conducted?

The most favorable age is 5-14 days. In some cases, it can extend up to 1 month. We can always discuss these nuances and schedule the session, even if you miss the optimal window.

Do I need to purchase anything for the photoshoot?

No. I provide props for the baby. You only need to prepare a solid-colored top for yourself for family portraits.

Where can I view the props for the photoshoot?

You can preview and choose the props in advance using these links:

Where does the photoshoot take place?

The session takes place either in my cozy studio or in your home — whichever you prefer. You can relax in comfortable surroundings while I work with the baby

What if the baby doesn’t sleep during the session?

This happens extremely rarely. If the baby doesn’t sleep and is not crying, I capture shots with their eyes open.

When should I schedule the photoshoot?

I recommend scheduling based on the expected due date (EDD) as early as the first month of pregnancy. By doing so, you secure your spot and lock in the current pricing. We will choose the exact date of the session during the first days of the baby’s life.

How can I book a session?

Just send me a message — we’ll choose a convenient date and time together.

Do you require a deposit to book?

No, a deposit is not required.

Do you only work in Berlin?

No, I can travel to other locations. Terms are discussed individually.
