NATURAL NEWBORN & BABY PHOTOGRAPHY

Those first few weeks getting to know your new baby are such a special time. You’ve waited a long time to meet them and now they’re here you can’t help but marvel at their every tiny detail. A newborn shoot captures your early weeks together, as you adjust to life as a family.

I think your baby is just perfect just as they are, so I use a natural approach to newborn  photography, without the need of props. The session is led by your baby, so they can be sleeping soundly or bright eyed and awake, feeding or being cuddled.  There’s no rush or stress. I have a purpose built home studio in Sutton Coldfield, where your comfort and relaxation is my priority, or  I come to you and you can have your shoot at home.

I’ll capture all of the little details that change so quickly. In just a few more months, you’ll wonder how they could have been so tiny. I use locations around your home, just cuddling on the sofa together or in your favourite room. Don’t worry about whether your house is suitable, if you have window light it will be fine. Your connection with your baby is the most important thing.

Ideally, I like to photograph newborns within the first three weeks of your baby arriving, as you’ll still be in that lovely new baby bubble and your baby will be less prone to colic and more sleepy. However, don’t worry if you miss this window, as I’m happy to offer a newborn session up to 4 weeks.

Babies change so quickly, in just a few months your baby will be able to hold their head up when popped onto their tummies and this is also wonderful time to get some photos.
