newborn


Newborn sessions are best done within the first 7–14 days after birth, when babies are still very sleepy and naturally curled. During this stage, we’re able to gently guide them into soft, comfortable poses while prioritising their safety at all times. For mummies observing their confinement period, sessions can be scheduled at your own pace. We accommodate newborns up to 3 months, whenever you’re ready.

Things to take note


  • Clothing choices play a big role in how your photos turn out, so do take some time to plan your outfits. Choose a colour palette that compliments one another, and if your family members are joining, it's best for everyone to be colour coordinated.
  • Newborn sessions will be held in-studio for the best experience and setup. Home sessions are available upon request with an additional top-up of $250.
  • If your baby has a specific routine for feeds or naps, do let us know during the short call. We’ll do our best to schedule your session around their usual timings, subject to availability.
  • Please bring along your baby’s essentials, such as milk, diapers, wipes, and a pacifier (if used), to keep them comfortable throughout the session.
  • Babies will be babies, it’s completely normal if they get fussy or need extra time. Please don’t feel stressed; we’ll guide and handle the session patiently.

FAQ

Are there additional charges I should be aware of?

A few may apply depending on your session needs.

  • Sundays & Public Holidays: $80 surcharge
  • Additional hours: $140 per hour (subject to availability)
  • Additional pax: $20/ person
  • Home Session: $250

Why is there an additional fee for outdoor or home sessions?

The additional fee covers the transportation of equipment and session essentials such as props, setups, and styling items required for your session. For example, if your session is scheduled at 11AM, our team will arrive earlier to prepare and set up the space prior to your session.

This fee includes transportation, setup preparation before your session begins, and creative direction to ensure your session experience is seamless and thoughtfully prepared.

What is your turnaround time for photos?

Our turnaround time is 3–4 weeks. This allows us to carefully select and edit each image, ensuring consistent quality throughout your gallery.

If you need your photos sooner, a rush option is available at $100 for a 5 days turnaround after shoot date.

Can I choose which photos go into the 4R prints and album?

Yes, you’ll be given 48 hours to select your preferred images before your gallery is finalised and delivered. Print and album timelines will begin once your selections are submitted. To avoid delays, please send in your choices within the given timeframe.

Where will the studio session be held?

The studio session will be held at Studio by Joie. 318 Tanglin Road, Phoenix Park.

The location is accessible by both bus and car, with parking slots available on site. The studio is also wheelchair accessible.

Do I only get a XX amount of images? What happens to the rest of the photos?

Every session goes through a careful culling and editing process. This means we select the strongest images and remove those that do not meet our delivery standards, such as blurred shots, closed eyes, test shots, duplicates, or otherwise unflattering images.

The number of images delivered varies depending on the session type, the flow of the session, and factors such as your baby's or child's comfort and cooperation. The estimated number of images included will always be stated in the package details.

Our focus is always on quality over quantity. Every delivered image is thoughtfully selected and professionally edited to ensure you receive the very best moments from your session.

Rest assured that we aim to return all good images captured during your session, including candid moments. Once your gallery is ready, you can choose the images that resonate most with you.

If your package includes a maximum number of delivered images and there are additional photographs that still meet our delivery standards, you may request to purchase extra images. We will first provide a proof gallery of the available images for your selection. Once you have made your choices, the additional images will be edited and uploaded to your gallery within 1–2 weeks.

For example, if your package includes 50 edited images and you would like to purchase 10 additional images, you may select 10 images from the proof gallery. These 10 images will then be edited and delivered, bringing your total gallery to 60 edited images.

Do you provide Raw files?

We don’t provide RAW files as they are unprocessed and don’t reflect our final quality and style. We deliver all the best edited images from your session, including candid in between moments. Once your gallery is ready, you can take your time to go through it and choose the photos that resonate most with you.

If my child or I am unwell, can we reschedule the session?

Yes, rescheduling is allowed if the parents or child are unwell. Kindly inform us at least 48 hours prior to the session. Rescheduling to Sundays or Public Holidays will require an additional fee of $80.

What kind of setups/ props do you provide for newborn sessions?

All setups are styled in our signature aesthetic. Special request, such as themed concepts or brand inspired setups, can also be arranged under personalised session. Prior to your session, we’ll have a short call and a questionnaire to better understand your preferences and vision.

I’m not comfortable having my baby’s face shown on your platforms. Can I request a private gallery?

Your privacy and comfort are our top priority. As sharing selected images on our website or social media is part of our portfolio, we offer a few options for you.

You may request for your baby’s features (such as the eyes or full face) to be blurred in any images shared. Alternatively, you may opt for a fully private gallery, where no images from your session will be published. This option is available at an additional fee of $300.

We also understand that some parents may have personal preferences or practices (such as the pantang period). You may let us know a preferred date after which we can begin sharing images from your session.

Do you provide new sets, props, or clothing for each session?

Hygiene is our top priority. All washable items (such as wraps, fabrics, and outfits) are thoroughly cleaned after every session. Non-washable items like wooden props, bowls, and accessories are carefully sanitised with antibacterial solutions.

If you have specific requests for new sets, props, or clothing to be purchased for your session, this can be arranged at an additional cost and is subject to availability.

how do I book my session?

To secure and prioritise your session slot, a 50% retainer is required upon booking. The remaining balance can be paid anytime up to 3 weeks before your session date.

For last minute bookings made less than 1 month before the session, full payment will be required to confirm your booking.
