I love to include a little feet shot at a newborn session – newborn feet are truly darling. Sometimes, parents like to include rings that are important to them included but this family went in a different direction.
This little girl had her middle name for her great grandma’s favourite colour – Lilac. Her mum and dad wanted to reference this in her photos and also brought along a very special bracelet that belonged to her to use in place of the rings. We wrapped her feet in a lilac blanket to echo the theme and included the bracelet on her little feet. Her great grandma isn’t with them any more so it was all the sweeter to make sure she was included in her great granddaughter’s images.
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.
