I had the pleasure of photographing mum-to-be Laura, at 34 weeks (around 34 weeks pregnancy is perfect for a fabulous bump) and also dad-to-be Mark. Laura had booked the Little Stars Package which includes a Yummy Mummy, Newborn and 6 month session. To see Laura’s ‘Yummy Mummy’ session please click on this link to see post Laura’s Yummy Mummy Session.
Following the arrival of Ethan (1 week over due) Laura contacted me to arrange Ethan’s newborn session – and here is a peek of a few images of gorgeous Ethan, at only 6 days old! Although it may not seem like an obvious time for a baby portrait, this is a wonderful time, as these precious early days when babies are so tiny flies by so quickly! And before you know it, your little one has doubled in size and you will have missed this wonderful opportunity!
The main focus of this shoot was to capture Ethan, however it was also a great opportunity to capture Ethan’s mum and dad too! Laura and Mark were very laid-back during their session, which gave me the best opportunity to capture lots of gorgeous images of Ethan!
The best time to book a newborn session is when your baby is ideally under 14 days old, I find when they are around 10 days old this is the perfect time when they are most sleepy. This is a good age as you can capture their tiny little features and when they can curl up into cute positions.
All newborn sessions are held in the comfort of my warm studio but I can also come to your own home if you prefer. I work around your routine, in a relaxed, unhurried way. I love using handcrafted accessories in my sessions from wicker baskets to cute hand knitted hats and use any of your props that are personal to you, to make this event special to you for many years to come.
The next session of Ethan will be when he is 6 months old, there will be a big difference in the next post I do of Ethan, I’m looking forward to it!
Photographing babies is one of the real delights of my job. If you would like me to capture your pregnancy and your little bundle of joy, please get in touch, I would love to hear from you!
Can’t wait to photograph Evie next when she is 6 months!
