Little life-changers 

My newborn sessions are relaxed and totally on baby’s time. We can work around naps, feeds and blowouts, and I’ll never suggest posing your baby in an awkward way. Newborns like to do their own thing, and I always work to their schedule. Though I won’t boss you around, I will guide you with some gentle prompts to tease out those natural connections that already exist between you and your newborn.

I’d suggest having your newborn session in a familiar space (like your home) and at whatever time of day you’re feeling your brightest, although I recommend the morning for small babies as that’s when they tend to be happiest. I know those first few weeks post-birth can be emotionally rocky so I’ll be led by you as to when you’d like your session to take place. Although it’s worth noting that your bubba will change a lot in the first few weeks and they really are only super little for a very short time, so it’s a good idea to contact me before your baby arrives. Although don’t panic if it’s too late for that! Just get in touch as soon as you can and we’ll work something out. 

I like to work in the nursery, master bedroom, lounge or pretty much anywhere that enjoys great light. And never worry about your home not looking like it’s fallen out of the pages of Vogue Living, nobody expects a pristine home in the first few weeks of parenthood. Just give me a good window with loads of light and we’ll be able to make the magic happen. 

Of course, I’m happy to include pets, siblings and heirlooms. In fact, I really encourage it. Including other family members (especially siblings) is a lovely part of the shoot and can really help older siblings fall that bit more in love with the new addition. Don’t worry if your toddler doesn't want to play ball, I’ll take the time to make them feel just as special as the new baby. The more the merrier.
