My miniature lace tent was a project that I put together in Lockdown after seeing a digital background that I thought I might like to buy.
Then I thought that it wouldn’t be that hard to have it in real life so I made one of my very own. I love digital backdrops but real life props are always going to be where my heart is. If it’s possible to make something (and I have room to keep it in the studio which is the other problem with having a Magpie heart that covets a LOT of things), then I usually just go ahead and put it together.
It’s been a very popular newborn girl prop since I’ve added it to the collection and I’ve styled it lots of different ways but I do love the simplicity of it with just a string of white roses along it against a dark background.
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.
