Life brand new: The beauty of a newborn photo session

It never fails to surprise me how quickly a newborn baby grows and changes. One moment they are all pink, squishy, wrinkly and teensy tiny all over, with an air of vulnerability and delicacy. In a blink of an eye, they are bouncy, chubby, crawling, leggy, not-so-little ones, soon to be walking and talking!

Because of the of the fleeting nature of your baby’s “newness”, I cannot stress enough the importance of documenting this precious time. Remember - it’s not only the wonder of your brand new baby that is important to remember, but also your first moments as their parents!

Newborn shoots can take place at any point after delivery. I always advise my clients to let me know once they are home and settled in, before we book their session. There is nothing worse for a new mommy than to feel the pressure of being make-up-photoshoot-ready while they are still trying to find their newborn routine!

Newborn photoshoots generally take place anything up until ten days old - the perfect time frame to still capture those very tiny wrinkled looks! However, I find that no matter how many days or weeks old your little one is, it is still absolutely possible to create beautiful and lasting memories of your newborn baby and your family at this incredibly special time.

If this year has taught us anything, it is that there is no time like the present! So, make sure to book your newborn session sooner than later…

Let us capture the beauty that is your now.
