In my Studio

In my Studio

Veru KnapI am happy to welcome you in my cozy studio in Hetzendorf (close to Schönbrunn). Based on your preferences, I prepare for you different photo scenes (setups), using some of the numerous props (such as small wooden beds & baskets), backdrops, baby cloths, hats, wraps, and headbands.

While I photograph your baby, you can sit back and relax with a cup of coffee and a small snack. My studio is specially prepared for newborns – it is a bit warmer there, you can use changing table, the milk/baby food warmer, etc. Naturally, during your photo shooting, you will have enough time to breastfeed your baby or cuddle with the baby when it cries.

Below you can find the typical photos you may expect and offered packages. If you want to see more photos from my 200+ newborn sessions in the past, you can check my portfolio.

At Your Home

At Your Home

Veru Knap Do you want to capture your euforic family moments with your newborn in the comfort of your home? You do not mind to give up myriad of props (such as small wooden beds & baskets), baby cloths, hats, wraps, and headbands, which I have in the studio? Then the photo shooting at your home might be better choice for you!

Enjoy a family well-being, a natural intimacy and a relaxed atmosphere of your home in the first few weeks after the birth and you’ll hardly notice I’m “following” you with my camera. Siblings are welcome to take part in the photo shooting, as I want to capture the authentic moments of all your loved ones.

Below you can find the typical photos you may expect and offered packages. If you want to see more photos from my 200+ newborn sessions in the past, you can check my portfolio.

Veru is such a sweet person and a great professional. Her work is wonderful and the photos she took of us are already decorating our living room! We will definitely recommend her again!

Veru is an amazing and superprofessional photographer. We are so grateful to her to catch our baby’s first moments after birth. She is very nice, friendly and her photo studio is fantastic. All the photos we received are high quality, professional and natural. We fell in love with them. Thank you for the work 🙂

Veru was amazing, she took her time to get the most beautiful photos. She kept my baby calm while she worked her magic for newborn photos and family photos. I can’t wait to get them printed and hanging on the wall.Forever grateful, thank you Veru.

A photographer with so much patience! We enjoyed our session very much – Veru is great, our little toddler (2 years) was a bit out of his zone in the beginning but she managed to make photos that we will cherish and remember for a very long time 🙂 Recommendation fully!

We spent around 3 very enjoyable hours in the photography studio. Veru made us feel very relaxed despite it being our first shoot so we didn’t really know what to expect. Drinks and snacks were there and we were instructed just to sit down and relax. The way she handled our newborn was very caring, professional and actually quite amazing to watch.Now we’ve seen the photos and we couldn’t be happier with them! Would recommend.

Our newborn photoshoot with Veru was amazing. We were exhausted from a sleepless night with our baby and almost canceled, but so glad we didn’t. She was so kind and professional. Her studio was comfortable and all of the different setups and outfits were beautiful. We’re so happy with how our pictures turned out and would definitely recommend her.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

For studio session, your newborn shouldn’t be older than 14 days. There are much more props available in the studio. 

The in home session is ideal for newborns between 2 to 4 weeks after birth. Unlike posed sessions at the studio, older newborns tend to have a better eye contact past the 2 week mark.

Believe it or not, but the perfect timing for a newborn studio session are the first 14 days of your baby’s life! It is only during this time that the baby’s slumber is deep and relaxed that I get to work my magic. If your baby was born prematurely or there were other complications in the beginning, I am more than happy to take the pictures of your baby later as well.

Please book as early as possible, but no later than two months before your due date. Short-term requests are usually difficult but please contact me and I will try my best to accommodate you.

Even a 5 week old baby can be photographed very authentically and beautifully. Who says that only sleeping babies look beautiful? Who says mommies only hold 2-week-old babies lovingly in their hands? No, 5, 6 or 7 week old babies can also be photographed naturally and lovingly. The only thing that’s important at that age is to enter the session with the right expectations. It will no longer be a newborn photo shoot in the classic sense. It will be a photoshoot where your baby will be awake and there will be a lot of parent interaction. Please contact me so we can discuss whether or not it would be suitable for you.

If you book your maternity and newborn sessions together, you’ll get a 50€ discount on your newborn shooting! (does not apply in case newborn mini-wrapped session is chosen)

Yes. An appointment reservation fee of 50€ is due in advance and will be deducted from the package price later.

Studio session: There’s really not much you need to prepare. Simply arrive on time and let me do that rest. If Mommy is relaxed, the baby is relaxed. A photo shoot normally lasts from 1 (Mini Wrapped Session) up to 4 hours (Deluxe Posed Newborn Beauty). In order to capture the most beautiful pictures of your baby, I want to allow enough time to gather your baby’s needs (feeding, sleeping, changing etc.), which is why it may take several hours.

Whether you take a cuddly toy or your grandma’s crochet blanket with you is up to you. I will happily incorporate your wishes into the picture. Just remember that the focus should be on your baby and not on the toy.

Since it gets really warm during the photo shoot in my studio, please wear something light and comfortable for breastfeeding (such as leggings and a tank top); you can then change for the pictures with your baby. Bring extra clothes in case of an accident while holding your baby.

If the baby is on formula, please take more than the usual amount (you can use my heater and microwave). During the photo shoot babies drink more than they usually do.

If you use a pacifier (or plan to), bring it with you for the session, it helps soothe the baby.

You don’t have to bring any clothes or other props for your newborn – I have everything I need in my studio – hats, blankets, wraps, headbands, newborn’s and mother’s clothes.

At home sessions: Rooms with a lot of natural light and light colors look best in pictures. You don’t need to worry about cleaning too much for the photo shoot. When necessary, we will move or clean things before the photo shoot. We may also need to move some furniture (but don’t worry, I won’t remodel your home).

Yes! Parents and siblings are part of the photo sessions, if wanted.

One exception: Mini Wrapped Newborn Beauty is only for the baby.

This is entirely up to you. You can visit my studio or we can meet in your favourite park or place in and around Vienna.

My studio is located at Schlöglgasse 11/9, 1120 Vienna – easily accessible by public transport. The S-Bahn and Tram 62 stop conveniently close to my studio.

The photo sessions are bookable from Tuesday to Saturday at different times (depending on weather and lighting conditions for outdoor sessions).
There is ample street parking available but please note that you will require a parking ticket (except for the weekend).

Within a week after the shooting, your  pictures are first uploaded to a private, password protected online gallery, where you can select the photos. I will then edit and deliver selected photos within 4-8 weeks (digitals) after the photo selection & payment (for any extra photos on top of the package) are made. If the package includes printed photos, you will receive also those by the regular mail (this may take a bit longer, as printed photos are orders in batches for more photo sessions together).

The short answer is no. The long answer is that I take pride in my work and that you wouldn’t expect an uncooked meal in a restaurant, or an unstudied piece of music at a concert. I consider myself an artist and only hand over what I consider finished. Your masterpiece sort of speaks.
My pictures are my business cards, and I do hope they speak for themselves. I am always grateful when I can use pictures of a photo shoot for my purposes. I want to show other customers what I can do for them and the only way to do that is through your pictures. Please help me spread the word of my work, it would help me tremendously. Should you not feel comfortable with that I am more than happy to only share the images with you. BUT if you don’t want that, I’ll of course also accept it.
