Baby Skylar came to visit for her newborn photos over the Easter weekend and so when faced with a gorgeous sleeping newborn and a very small bunny costume, I really don’t see what other choice I had…
Of course it wasn’t all bunnies, we played with lots of different props and ideas – I add to my props collection all the time to keep things fresh and new – and the resulting set of photos are a fantastic record of an all too brief and beautiful time. Newborn sessions are best in the first two weeks after your little one arrives as this is when they remain at their most sleepy and poseable. After this point, they really do start to engage with the world around them and getting those sleepy, dreamy poses is more difficult – for this reason, it’s definitely a good idea to book your session with me while you are still pregnant. We schedule your session for your due date plus seven days and then adjust the appointment as necessary when your baby is actually in your arms. They take place in my warm and cosy studio in Crawley Down where are you are invited to relax on the comfy sofa and take it easy whilst I work to capture your sleepy little newborn.
A newborn photo shoot costs £95 and this includes access to all my props and accessories, a long and relaxed session in the studio, plus your five favourite digital images to download, print and share. Unlike pretty much every other local photographer, I don’t hold sales or viewing sessions to pressure you into buying more images at exorbitant prices. Instead, additional digital images, prints and canvases are available (and very reasonably priced) from your online gallery.
