If you are looking for newborn photos of your baby in a basket, with perfectly smooth blankets and backdrops then you might want to keep looking. I'm just not into super posy stuff. It's just not my bag baby....pun totally intended! What I do LOVE however, is getting real moments of your new family member in their natural environment. I want the whole family around if possible, doing their thing. I want the moments of connection. When mum is feeding. When dad is burping (the baby, not just him ripping a massive belch!) I want siblings refusing to be involved, and I want grandparents going all misty eyed. Don't worry, I'll still get images of the baby by themselves, all cosy in a blanket, looking all cute. But you'll also get a snapshot of your life as it is at this moment in time. I truly believe that is what your babes will want to look back on as an adult. I'd much rather see images of my mum, chilling at home with us as babies than a too-perfect studio image of her holding us in an awkward pose. I love looking at the photos I have that show my parents home in it's 80's glory, my dad rocking his stubbies and handle-bar 'stach, my mum with her Farrah Fawcett hair, lying on the couch while a naked baby is lying in front of her on the classic sheep-skin rug.
Perfection can be found in the every day.
When to Book
When you get home from the hospital, and have settled in at home, flick me through an email and we can book in a suitable time. Newborn sessions are shot Monday through Friday between 9.00 - 2pm at your home in wedding season. Weekends may be available in winter.
How long does it take?
Around an hour, maybe more. Depends on how long baby is feeding for.
Do I need to do anything special to prep?
Nope. Keep bubs to their normal routine. It does nobody any good if they are waiting for a feed or a sleep.
