Newborn photographer in Ibiza

The newborn session happens at home, so what matters is the house, and a finca or an old-town house on Ibiza is not a mainland flat. Thick whitewashed walls and small, deep-set windows give soft light you can use, from one room only; a newer apartment near the coast is the reverse, with glass facing straight at the sun. The season also changes the practical advice. The usual instruction is to make the room warmer than is comfortable for you, and that holds for a winter birth, when the island is cold and shut. In an August birth it reverses: the room should be cool, the blinds set so the light comes in soft, and the two hours placed in the morning, before the heat builds.

When to book in Ibiza

Inside the first two weeks, on a day fixed once the baby has arrived. The hour depends on the house and the month. In summer, the morning is best, before the heat builds and while the light is soft. In winter, late morning or early afternoon gives the most daylight, and the room should be warm before we start. Avoid the hour when visitors usually call. Within the session, the feeds set the pace: the two hours exist so that feeding and settling are not interruptions. If the birth falls in high season and a family member is working long shifts, tell us; a weekday morning is easier to keep free than you might think.
