Why choose Newborn session in Cascais?
A newborn photographer in Cascais sets up where any newborn session happens – inside your house, within the baby’s first fourteen days or so, next to the brightest window. What makes this coast different is who is asking. Many of the families who book here moved from abroad, and the grandparents who would normally visit in the first week are a flight away. The photographs need to travel, and the gallery arrives within 72h so it can be shared before the visit that isn’t happening. The session is 30 min, built around feeds, with no props and no baby placed into poses.
Where we photograph in Cascais
There is no beach in this session, and there shouldn’t be: a baby in the first two weeks belongs indoors, warm, close to a parent. The location is the room in your house with the best window. On this part of the coast that is often a south-facing room on the bay side, but every house is different, so describe your rooms when booking and the photographer will plan for it. The photographer comes to you anywhere in the area: Cascais, Estoril, Parede, Carcavelos, Oeiras and up to Malveira da Serra, with travel within that area included. The bay is still there for a family session a few months later.
The best time in Cascais
The age matters more than the hour: the first two weeks, while the baby still sleeps curled up. Within a day, choose the time when the main room is brightest but not in direct sun, which for many houses here means late morning. In summer, warmth is not a problem; in winter the days are short, so aim for midday and keep the room warmer than usual for a baby without a vest. Book before the birth with an approximate date, and confirm once the baby has arrived.
What does the package include?
The package in Cascais covers: 15–20 retouched photographs; 30 minutes at your home, with natural light; Private gallery within 72 hours. Nothing is added to the price after the session.
FAQ — Newborn session in Cascais
We live in Malveira da Serra, outside the town. Are we covered?
Yes. Malveira da Serra is within the area covered from Cascais, along with Estoril, Carcavelos, Parede and Oeiras, and travel within that area is included in the price. Give the exact address and any access notes when booking, especially if the house is down an unmarked lane.
Our family is abroad. Can they see the photographs straight away?
The gallery is private and online, delivered within 72h, and you can send the link to anyone you like. Grandparents in another time zone can download their favourites the same day, so the photos can arrive before a parcel or a visit.
Could we add a few frames outside by the sea?
Not with a baby this age, and not in 30 min. The wind on this coast and the bright reflected light from the water are both hard on a newborn. A family session on the bay in a few months is the better way to include the sea, once the baby can hold their head up.
