Newborn Photographer in Hemel Hempstead
Welcome to Alina Ciobanu Photography
Welcome to Alina Ciobanu Photography, your trusted newborn photographer in Hemel Hempstead!
The first few days when your little one arrives are full of moments you’ll want to remember forever. A newborn photoshoot is perfect for capturing the essence of those early days with photographs you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
When to Book Your Newborn Photoshoot
The ideal time to photograph your baby is 6-10 days old, as they are still sleepy and easier to settle.
To ensure your session happens within this time frame, I always encourage parents to get in touch during pregnancy. However, if your baby has already arrived please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Beautiful, candid family photos can still be achieved with patience and care.
Once you are ready to book, we will make a tentative booking based on your due date, ensuring availability for your session. Once you bring your baby home from the hospital, you can reach out to arrange a convenient date and time for the shoot.
How it Works
Here’s what you can expect from your newborn photoshoot:
Consultation: After booking, you’ll receive a guide to help you prepare for the session, and a catalogue of backdrops to choose your favourites. Once you’ve made your selections, we’ll take time to discuss styling and setups for your session.
Session: Your newborn photoshoot will take place in my cosy home studio in Hemel Hempstead. The room will be warm and comfortable for your baby, with plenty of time for feeding, nappy changes, and cuddles.
Duration: Newborn sessions typically last between 1-4 hours, depending on your chosen package. We’ll take our time to ensure your baby is comfortable and settled.

We’ve used her services before and she’s always shown us lots of patience, flexibility and professionalism and with a newborn, it’s something that you need it!
I cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you for the lovely experience and the memories you’ve helped us create!"
