In recent months, I’ve added a digital backdrop option to my newborn photography. As I’ve said before, it’ll never be the mainstay of what I do but it does offer some new and fun options and also means that I can at least have digitally all of the super cute sets that I covet in real life and still have room to move in the studio.
I’ve had a blue hot air balloon for a while so I was delighted when one of my favourite digital artists finally released a pink version to even things up. This version is set in a day time sky and as a lovely air feel as opposed to the blue version which is set in the night sky so it offers a lovely contrast.
I believe that the way to make digital artwork look great as a finished image is to shoot with the end result in mind so you’ll have the option of adding either (or anything else from my collection you fancy) when you choose your options for your newborn shoot before you visit.
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.
