When it comes to newborn photo shoots, getting in front of the camera for a family photo is a bit of a Marmite thing.
That’s understandable as you don’t tend to get a lot of sleep during those first few hazy newborn weeks but then again, you’ve just expanded your family so it’s definitely worth commemorating.
This shot, which is one of the most commonly requested ways of creating a family image, is actually a really good compromise between not feeling quite camera ready but also wanted to create an image to look back on. We work with a silhouette style which is really forgiving but also creates a gorgeous piece of artwork that will look wonderful on your wall.
Newborn Photography
A newborn photo shoot is best when your baby is between 5 and 10 days old as this is when they are at their maximum sleepiness and poseability to capture those dreamy shots. For this reason, I definitely recommend that you book when you are pregnant as this is one less thing to worry about scheduling when you’ve just got home from the hospital. We make an appointment for your due date plus 7 days and then adjust it as needed.
My newborn shoots include your three favourite digital images which you select from your online gallery a few weeks after your photo shoot – I don’t make you attend a sales or viewing session. Sessions take place in my warm and cosy studio in Crawley Down and cost £95.
