Where should I have my newborn session?

When it comes to newborn photography, there are so many more options for where your shoot can be held and what “type” of session you would like.

For me I fell in LOVE with newborn photography the moment I started my business. I feel like it is one of the most important things to capture in people’s lives and I’m in my absolute element when I’m snapping your precious, snuggly, scrunchie little bundle.

With that said I honestly hate the idea of people missing out on these sessions because they might be feeling apprehensive about one thing or another. You might not like the idea of having your session at home or you hate the idea of having to leave your home to have a session. Due to this I offer a range of different types of shoots to try and accommodate the needs of each individual family.

Home

Newborn home sessions are all about capturing you and your family connecting and enjoying your time together in the comfort of your own home . I really want you to look back on your photos from our session in years to come remembering those moments as being all about you and your new tiny family member.

As a mum of two I completely understand how stressful those first few weeks can be with a newborn baby. Add other children into the mix and it can amplify that stress (believe me I know)! This is a big reason behind why I like to come to your home, to take the stress out of having to leave the house!

I love for these sessions to be led by the families that I am capturing and their stories. Your children might have a certain game they like to play, or a routine that makes your family yours.

The Studio

My home studio is warm, cozy and oozing with beautiful natural light. If you would prefer to have a newborn, maternity or portrait session in my studio instead of your home or outdoors then this is a perfect option.

During these sessions I will guide you and your family when I need however I do like to be led by the families that I am capturing and their stories. With newborns I also like to go with what's happening for them on the day. If they don't want to be put down, that's fine! Capturing newborns wrapped nice and tight in their families arms are just beautiful images. If your newborn is unsettled and needs a feed, I also love to capture these special bonding moments.

Fresh 48

A Fresh 48 is a newborn session that takes place during the first 48 hours of a baby’s life. This special type of photo session aims to capture many of the early moments and special firsts, before the newborn baby leaves the hospital to head home and start life with their family.

I love to capture the real, raw and honest moments that a baby’s birth brings when they enter the world. For that reason I try not to interfere too much and let the moments happen. I move around photographing moments as they unfold, and what I start with tends to be prompted by whatever is happening in the room when I first arrive.

I love capturing siblings meeting their newest family member, first feeds, first bath, I am guided by what is going on during that time.
