NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY

The arrival of a new baby can be wonderfully blissful, exhausting and messy all at the same time. In the blur of those first few weeks it is so worth taking time to drink it all in. Newborn photography is like a magic pause button that captures the fleeting time when your baby is brand new and teeny tiny. I make sure to keep everything relaxed, capturing natural images of your new baby and all those little details you want to remember. The little curled up toes and squishy lips and how perfectly they fit in your arms. Family portraits are unposed, focussing on beautiful moments and emotion.

Any time up to eight weeks is really perfect for a newborn photoshoot so there is no rush if you feel like taking extra time. Your images will reflect the age of your baby at the time of your photoshoot - in the first two weeks babies tend to be sleepier and by six weeks we get to see a little more personality and maybe some of those first smiles!

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR NEWBORN PHOTOSHOOT

When I first arrive at your home I like to work out what room has the best light for your photoshoot - often this turns out to be the main bedroom and this can be a great place for some unposed family portraits. Once your baby is calm or asleep then I'll capture some sweet and simple baby portraits, sometimes wrapping baby in a simple blanket. My aim is to capture beautiful moments with your new baby - how tiny they look in your arms, how much they like sleeping snuggled under your chin and what it's like to just sit there and stare at how gorgeous they are! Portraits of your baby with older siblings are always some of my favourites - I tailor these type of images to the ages your older children and I keep it very simple and easy for toddlers. If you have a nursery I always try to capture some images in there too - nothing is sweeter than a tiny baby in their huge cot! I'm always inspired by the different heirloom blankets my clients have - some made by Great Granny - and I love to include these in your images as well.
