You’ll experience feelings of love and connection as never before in your life during the first few weeks after the birth of your child, with your heart full of wonder and joy. At Verve Portraits, we can help you create a beautiful story about this wonderful moment through our newborn portraits. We offer traditional photos that celebrate not only your family’s connection but also your little one. As we make magic happen by taking photos of these special moments, you can relax and breathe in our state-of-the-art studio space.

Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend scheduling your newborn session within the first 5–14 days after birth. During this time, babies are typically sleepier and naturally curl into those beautiful newborn poses. However, we can absolutely create stunning portraits with older newborns too — every stage has its own magic.
Absolutely. Your baby’s safety is our highest priority. Our photographers are experienced in handling and posing newborns gently and safely. We follow strict hygiene practices and always work within your baby’s comfort levels.
We recommend simple, neutral outfits — or even just a wrap — to keep the focus on your baby’s tiny features. Our team can guide you before your session and will style everything to create a timeless look.

Yes – and we encourage it. Some of the most meaningful images come from those quiet moments between you and your baby. We love capturing parents, siblings and the beautiful new dynamic of your growing family.

Soft, neutral tones photograph beautifully and keep the focus on connection rather than clothing. Avoid bold patterns or large logos. Once your session is booked, we’ll provide detailed styling advice to help you feel confident and coordinated.

Please don’t worry. Newborn sessions are designed with flexibility in mind. We allow extra time for feeding, changing and soothing. Some of the most authentic and heartwarming images happen in those in-between moments.

After your photoshoot, you’ll return for a private viewing where you can see your portraits for the first time. This is when you select your favourite images and decide how you’d like to display them — whether as statement wall art or a bespoke album to treasure for generations.
