Newborn Photo Shoot
The first few days of your babies life are so precious and go by so fast, once these details have been captured you have them forever. I love to capture their tiny toes and their button nose, pouting lips and sometimes even a smile
Newborn Photo are best taken when baby is between 5-14 days old. This is when baby sleeps well and still curls up in those newborn curly sleep positions like they were in mummy's tummy. I specalise in a more natural, baby led style of Newborn photography.
I do also offer sessions for older Newborns between 3-10 weeks old, these sessions are all about baby, they are not posed they are natural more lifestyle images.
My Newborn sessions are relaxed, designed to put new parents at ease. My aim is to keep your baby warm, comfortable and most importantly safe.
I am fully training in Newborn safety and have plenty of experience comforting babies having had my own children.
I love to include parents in the session but if you are not ready for this (I know you are not feeling your best after just having a baby with sleepless nights, I don't think I brushed my hair for the first couple of days after having my little girl!) I will use hands and close up cuddles.

We had such a lovely experience with Mel and were so happy with the photos she captured during our newborn shoot. Mel was so patient with us and baby - who needed lots of feeding and changing throughout the morning. She just took things at his pace and made the whole experience really comfortable!
