Having your newborn photography session in Karine Majet studio will be a great way to remember the very first days of your precious baby. From start to finish, Karine Majet will guide you to get the most incredible images: family pictures, with siblings and your baby alone, in tiny props. As Karine Majet has been there before, she will guide you all through the session.
She takes care of the baby need for feeds, changes and also cuddles. As a professional newborn photographer, we will manage your baby, to get a nice and comfortable newborn photo session.

When should I book a newborn photo session?
It is better to book newborn session with a newborn photographer when you are 5-6 month pregnant. In order to offer non-rushed photo shoot, Karine Majet only books a limited number of shootings per week.
Booking your session in advance allow you to be on her photo shoot schedule. After the baby is born, you will be able to pick up the best time before the first 20 days.
It is better to pre-order newborn photo session
What is the best moment?
The newborn formula is intended for babies from birth to 4 months. You will see that your child will develop quickly and go through several stages. Depending on the style of photos you want, here’s what you can do.
I emphasize that if you are too tired or if your baby needs care, you can come a little later with your child. We will make wonderful photos. Everything does not stop when your baby is two weeks old, fortunately!
- First 3 weeks : the best time ever of baby posing
- 1 month : babies start to have longer periods of awakening. They like to stretch. Pictures are taken on blankets and props, on the back.
- From a month and a half : he likes the reassuring presence of parents and moves much more. I use larger props to get beautiful protraits.
Enjoy all the beautiful moments of your family life
How long does a newborn photo session last?
The secret to get a great newborn shooting is to take enough time to welcome your baby. Sessions always starts with breastfeeding or bottle-feeding. Then, you child needs to burp before dozing off. You have time to pick some lovely baby props in Karine Majet’s dressing. And then, you will start with family and siblings’ pictures. The second part of the shoot is dedicated to your baby only.
A newborn photo session last about 2 hours.
Photo editing
As each family is different, you can choose either “standard” and “advancée” edit.
- Retouche standard ("Naturel" pack): parents love this edit to get the most pretty expressions of their child. They are fond of their child's pictures, even if there is a small birthmark or if the skin is red. This is a great pack if you want natural edit.
- Retouche avancée: choose this edit if you want to decorate your home with a lovely frame or get a beautiful album. Pictures have artistic photo-finishing. For babies, redness and jaundice disappear. For parents, dark circles are blurred and the silhouette refined. You also get black and white versions.
Tell me more about props
Karine Majet has bought a large number of props to get the most incredible images. You can select items directly in the studio: beds, prams, sofas, wood and bamboo baskets, and so much additional props! Everything is dedicated to newborns.
- Newborn clothes: for boys, these are knitted outfits, trousers, overalls or cute little outfits. For girls there are beautiful handmade dresses, headbands and bonnets.
- Props : I put at your disposal more than 50 baskets, beds, sofas. I especially like vintage and romantic settings.
- Backdrops : wooden, beige, white or black.
- Flowers: they bring a touch of softness and poetry to the photos
Black and white pictures
Black and white photos create fantastic memories. These images can decorate your home and give a timeless touch to your favorite photos.
Digital background
In addition to the staging done in the studio, you can choose from a photo-montage library. These images come in addition to the photos included in your package.
What if my baby boy is circumcised?
You should organize yourself with this celebration, as circumcised babies do not feel at ease up to 5 days after. Please, contact Karine Majet and let her know before the baby is born.
What about family pictures?
Your elders are welcome! Contact me before the birth shoot to give me more information about the age of the siblings. If they are young, newborn will be in a prop next to them. If they are older than 6, they can hold their little brother or sister. And in general, they are so proud!
