Newborns. What can I say about newborns other than I love to photograph them; those milky spots, peachy fuzz over their shoulders, tiny fingers and tiny toes, those squishy little cheeks and lovely tummy rolls. Every bit of a precious newborn is to be treasured, it doesn’t last long though; we blink and those sleepy little bundles are toddlers, we blink again and they are heading off to school and our hearts yearn for the days they were those tiny little babes that needed us every minute of every day! That’s where I come in, I love to capture those tiny details in those first few days and weeks for families to look back on and remember not the sleepless nights and endless nappy changes but the small little things that make newborns so perfectly unique.

FAQ’s

When do I book?

Booking your newborn session can be done anytime from your 20 weeks scan onwards. I always recommend the earlier the better as I take a limited number of newborns each month to ensure I can dedicate all of my attention to one family and nobody is rushed out for another session on the same day.

When do we come along after baby is born?

At time of booking I’ll take your due date; however we all know babies arrive in their own time! So when little one makes their grand appearance I get mum or dad when they are ready to give me a call or message and we arrange a date that suits your family. Newborn sessions are ideally done between 0-21 days but they can be done anytime up to 6-10 weeks (please be aware older babies don’t photograph quite the same as brand new ones but we can still get brilliant images they might just be set up a little differently).

What do we bring?

Parents always ask what to bring. If baby is bottle fed always bring one or two extra feeds as posing and settling baby can stimulate feeding reflexes and it burns calories for our hard working models so they are often more hungry on session day, and I always warn breast feeding mamas to be prepared for baby to want to feed a little more than usual. I encourage parents to bring along anything sentimental and we always do our best to incorporate it into baby’s photos. Don’t worry about bringing outfits for baby, pop them in something easy to get in and out of (like a baby grow) as they will likely spend most of their session wrapped or naked so we can catch all those scrummy little details!
