What you’ll experience

Why choose Newborn session in Madrid?

Newborn sessions happen at home, and what that means in Madrid depends on the month the baby is born. From November to March the baby arrives in the best-lit season of the year: the sun stays low all day, there is no glare, and a single window fills a room with raking light from mid-morning. Born in July or August, the flat is the opposite. The blinds are down against 40 degrees and the light in the room is dim, even and indirect, which is gentle on the skin of a fortnight-old baby but slower to work in. Most Madrid homes are flats, and plenty look onto an interior patio rather than the street; that is enough. One room with a window, and the heating higher than is comfortable for you.

When to book in Madrid

Inside the first fortnight, on a date that follows the birth rather than the calendar, so book during the pregnancy on the due date. The hour depends on your window. East-facing rooms are best mid-morning, west-facing ones early afternoon, and rooms onto an interior patio around midday. In winter, if the building’s central heating runs to fixed hours, tell us when it comes on, and plan the session inside them; in summer, turn the air conditioning down rather than off an hour before, so the room is warm but not stuffy. Most families find late morning easiest, after the night’s worst feed and before visitors arrive.

“An incredible experience from beginning to end. The photographer was very professional, easy to be around, and made us feel comfortable from the first moment. The photographs came out beautiful and caught the essence of the trip perfectly. We would do it again without a doubt.”

Madrid guide

In your home, and usually in one room of it. The room that works is the warmest one with the largest window, and in a Madrid flat that is often the living room with the balcony doors, or the main bedroom if it faces the street. We look at it first, before unpacking, to see where the light falls and where the sun will move during the two hours; a patch of direct sun crossing the floor is beautiful in a frame and too warm on a baby, so we work beside it rather than in it. A newborn photographer needs very little space: a bed or a sofa near the window, a surface at waist height for changing, and a socket for a small heater if the room runs cold. Older siblings and pets are welcome in some frames and best kept to the first half hour, before the baby settles. If you live outside the city, in Alcalá de Henares, Getafe or towns to the west such as Pozuelo or Las Rozas, the session happens at home in exactly the same way.

FAQ — Newborn session in Madrid

Our flat only has a small window onto a patio. Is that enough light?

Yes. An interior patio gives soft light with no direct sun, which is easier on a newborn than a south-facing balcony that swings from gloom to glare. Tell us which room is warmest and has the best window, and leave the rest to us: two hours in that room is long enough to work slowly around the feeds.

Should we feed the baby before you arrive?

Yes, if it fits the rhythm: a baby who has just fed sleeps more deeply, and the first sleeping frames are the most delicate ones. If the baby wakes hungry during the session, we stop; two hours are booked because that is expected.

Can the grandparents be in some of the photos?

Yes, and in Madrid they are often nearby anyway. Ask them to come for the last half hour, so the first part stays calm and the baby has settled before more people are in the room. A few frames of a grandparent holding the baby by the window take five minutes and are often the ones that get printed.
