In contrast to the post I wrote yesterday about my miniature white bed being the one of the first props that I bought for newborn photography, my lace tent is definitely one of the latecomers.
It was during one of the lockdowns when the studio was closed that I had the idea for both this and my other miniature tent, which is more a camping under canvas style, and so I ordered in the stuff and made what I wanted. I had the time and so many ideas that had been kicking around my head came to fruition at the time… So glad it did though – this is also a really popular prop that is quite versatile to style (though I do love it with florals) and a really super pretty addition to my stash.
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.
