Newborn Photography

The arrival of a new baby is always a special event, and a newborn photoshoot is a wonderful way to capture how tiny and precious your newborn baby is. When photographing newborns I aim for a simple approach, keeping the focus on the baby. I love to use natural textures like felts and curly wools to complement baby-soft skin and I like to work with the light to create images with a beautiful depth which will look stunning printed and framed, or hung as wall art. As well as solo baby portraits a newborn session can also include parent shots and sibling shots if desired.

Newborn sessions are baby-led and last approximately three hours. They are best carried out when baby is between five to fourteen days old, as your newborn will be very sleepy and easier to settle and pose at this age. But newborn shoots can take place up to six weeks of age - older babies are often more alert and can provide some gorgeous awake shots!
