Your Newborn PhotoShoot
With over 25 years experience, I can very easily guide you through your newborn photoshoot however, there are a few things you can do to ensure the shoot goes smoothly:
- Choose the Right Photographer: Look for someone who specialises in newborn photography. I have the experience and patience needed to handle babies safely and capture the most beautiful, intimate shots. Take the time to check out my galleries https://www.tinyvioletsphotography.co.uk/gallery-classic-natural and prices so you know I am the right photographer for you: https://www.tinyvioletsphotography.co.uk/newborn-photoshoot-pricing
- Timing: My favourite time to capture your newborn baby is between 6 and 12 days and best before 2 weeks, but I do happily go to 3 weeks and often 4 weeks.
- Sleepy shots: I try to schedule the photoshoot for you when is best for you and your baby – we will need you to feed your newborn baby throughout the photoshoot as a full belly and a sleepy baby are the perfect combination for a successful photoshoot. It’s the sleepy curled up, squishy newborn shots we all love so baby will need to be asleep.
- Outfits and Props: I have an array of props and accessories for you to choose from. Most of which can be seen in all the online galleries – most of the outfits shown are mine for you to choose from. However, you can also bring your own personal touches like a special blanket or a favorite onesie. Keep the clothing simple and comfortable for your baby — think soft fabrics and natural colors.
- Comfort for You: Remember that this photoshoot is a celebration of your baby, but it’s also about your family. Consider including a few family shots, where you and your partner (and any older siblings) can be part of the memories. I charge an additional £25 for a mini family shoot. Wear comfortable, simple clothing that allows you to feel relaxed.
What to Expect During the Session
Newborn photoshoots can range from 1 to 3 hours, depending on your baby’s temperament and how many different shots you’d like. Keep in mind, newborns can’t be rushed — they need time for feedings, nappy changes, and rest breaks. But don’t worry, I am very accustomed to these needs and will work around your baby’s schedule.
A newborn photoshoot is more than just about taking pictures. It’s about freezing a moment in time that will never come again. The first days of your baby’s life are full of wonder, and having high-quality photographs to look back on helps you hold onto that magic forever. After all, it’s not just about the pictures—it’s about capturing the love and joy that comes with bringing a new life into the world.
