I’m used to people bringing along all sorts of things to include in their photo shoots and teddies are an obviously popular option.
I’ve had a giant elephant to work with quite a lot of times but no one has ever brought along a giant giraffe before. Initially I thought it might be a bit of a problem as it’s clearly proportionately quite a different size to a newborn but actually by using my little basket to raise up the newborn and encouraging a gentle neck bend from Gerald, it worked out just perfectly. I think it ended up being my favourite picture from the session.
The moral of the story here I guess is, if there’s something you’d like to include in your session, just bring it along with you. We’ll work out how to make it happen when you get to the studio!
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.
