A lot of newborn photography requests that I get before a session are for neutral and pastel colours but not for these guys. They had brought the tutu and headband specifically for the session and they wanted something that really stood out for their birth announcement.
Luckily I have a range of backdrops to choose from including some for folk who like a deep rich colour and so I was more than happy to oblige – I’m a real purple fan so this was a very fun image to create for me. Of course it helped that Lyra was a willing little model and we had fun creating lots of different images for her that weren’t all purple themed. The aim of newborn photography as far as I’m concerned is to create the images that you will love and treasure so I’ll always be as flexible as possible when it comes to styling your images – like it neutral? Cool. Want to go wild with colours? Also cool. We’ll build what you love in 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.
