Have you ever wondered how I go about my newborn photography sessions?
How do I settle, position and pose baby so the light falls perfectly on their face?

How do I pose baby with mum and dad to capture those all new, precious connections?

Well, I have created a 'fly on the wall' episode especially for you! You will have full access to watch me, from the comfort of your own home. And the beauty of being able to watch over and over again whenever you feel necessary!

In this video I will be talking you through my workflow (The order of photo's I take for every single newborn session), settling techniques, wrapping techniques, how I prepare parents, ideal room temperature, camera settings etc etc. Basically everything I've spent the last 6 years learning!

 

You then have the option to purchase the optional addition of my 'Editing 101'. Here I will walk you through my culling process, how I present the images to my clients to choose and most importantly my step by step editing workflow.

 

Please note to get full use of these videos, a basic understanding of your camera is essential and for the editing 101 a basic understanding of photoshop is helpful.

 

 

When is the best time to get a photoshoot?

What is the best age for a photoshoot?

I find myself always being asked when the best time for a photoshoot is, and I always say the same. That first year of a baby’s life flashes by in a blink, so documenting it to remember forever is something you’ll thank yourself for later in life when your baby is not so baby ish anymore!

During the first year, there are 3 main milestones to capture your baby and these are summerised below:

Newborn:

Capturing your baby at it’s youngest, smallest, sleepiest stage is priceless. These sessions take place within the first 14 days… they will never be that little ever again, and looking back at the pictures, even only weeks later, you’ll love to remember how tiny and new they were.

Sitter:

4-9 months is my favourite age to photograph, your baby is seeing the world and learning new things daily. You can see the amazement in their eyes and it glows through their skin. The wonder and love they have for everything is something really special to capture, and their personalities shine through in the images.

1st Birthday Session:

Whether you celebrate with a messy cake smash, or just a timeless 1st birthday photo session, it’s such a HUGE milestone to celebrate their first ever birthday. We have so much fun, singing their favourite songs, dancing, eating, splashing, clapping.

Once you are out of that oh so special first year, annual photoshoots are usually the most popular option. Meaning you will have photos to treasure and look back on for years to come, (Who’s going to bring out the family albums on their 18th birthdays, or when they bring their first partner home to meet you!?)

I’d love to take this journey with you, capturing your family milestones as they go. And creating a timeless capsule of memorys to cherish forever.
