Tiny . Perfect . Miracles
There is nothing more beautiful and perfect to photograph than a newborn. They are such an incredible miracle and I love to photograph every tiny detail in the most relaxed and natural way, creating photography filled with love and personality that you will treasure forever.
Book before birth
Timing is crucial with newborn shoots to create those sleepy, settled shots. Baby should be aged between 7 to 14 days old for best results but don’t worry if you have left it late, we still have chance to create some magical shots with baby awake.
I recommend getting in contact after your 20 week scan. I only need your due date to get you booked in.
Once you are booked in, I will schedule times for you around your due date. When baby actually arrives {hooray!} just send me a text & I will get back to you with a few choices for your session.
My Newborn Style
My approach to Newborn photography is how I would love to be photographed in that first week of my chid’s life. Completely relaxed, in my own warm home, undisturbed in my mother’s arms and surrounded by everything familiar to me. I love to capture everything about those first few weeks that are gone in a flash. The beauty in tiny unseen details which can go unnoticed during those sleepless nights, family visits and hospital appointments. From their beautiful tiny feet and hands to the details and love that parents have put into decorating their nursery, filled with love and warm wishes from family.
My purpose is to capture those moments we can never get back and give you the joy and love from those times every time you look at them. To create a time for you as a parents to step away from it all just to be in the moment together as a family and enjoy each other, with honesty, simplicity and with the love you have for each other just as you are.
We will capture some portraits of baby but there is no formal posing involved. Having those early photos of yourself as a new mum is fabulous and something to be treasured.
Preparing Baby
Newborn shoots take up to an hour and a half, because baby’s needs take priority. We allow time for feeds, nappy changes and soothing baby without invading your space for too long (as I know how precious your alone time together is with all those endless visits!).
For Newborn Lifestyle Sessions we can be a bit more relaxed so baby will only be sleeping for some of the shots, because we are not aiming for that perfect portrait but a real authentic depiction of your new life together. Don’t worry about tidying up before I come to your house either, I really don’t expect parents of a newborn to have a pristine house.
Sibling Shots
A lifestyle shoot is a fantastic way to take the most beautiful images with any older siblings your baby may have (if this is not your first child) and provides the space and relaxing environment in which to do so. It is also a wonderful way to capture you all as a family without need for posing. Just you as you are, relaxed, happy in each other’s presence and in your own loving environment.
