WHAT'S A NEWBORN SESSION ALL ABOUT?



NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY. SPALDING AND PETERBOROUGH.



I ALWAYS GET ASKED WHAT A NEWBORN SESSION INVOLVES. I WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH WHAT TO EXPECT, WHAT WILL HAPPEN AND HOW LONG IT TAKES. OH...AND A FEW BEAUTIFUL BABIES PHOTOS ASWELL.

HOW IT ALL WORKS...





Newborn photography sessions are best if they are done within the first 2 weeks but if you have left it until the last minute then up to 4 weeks is still fine. Before your session there are a few things that you can do to help prepare for your session. I ask that you only bring your bundle in a baby grow with no vest underneath. This makes it a lot easier at the beginning of the session and won’t disturb your little one too much.



NO SOCKS!





To avoid the lines on the baby, no socks are to be put on. If possible your baby should be fed before arrival and plenty of milk be brought along to the session, as when i’m moving them about they will need a top up every now and then. My studio is fully kitted out with a variety of newborn bay props, this includes baskets, wooden boxes, old suitcases, baby wraps and hats to just mention a few. All you need to bring with you is yourselves and your baby, everything else is taken care of by myself.



PHOTOS OF SIBLINGS



Next up are photos of baby with siblings.........



Preventing the boredom



I normally start your session with some lovely poses on a beanbag but if you have siblings you wish to be included in the session i recommend that these shots be done first so they don’t get too bored.



Stay or Go



My studio is at home so I am happy for your children to play in our garden if they are supervised by an adult who has come with you. It is best, however, if an additional adult can come for the first 30-45mins and then take the siblings home.



Moments to Cherish



This part of your photoshoot will give you moments to cherish forever.



PHOTOS OF NEWBORN BEANBAG POSES





I will start by settling your baby so they are nicely asleep and ready for their session. We will do some poses on the beanbag. The photos are an example of some of the poses i will do. Every baby is different and some poses will not be suitable for them. I am have ben trained in newborn safety and you can be assured that i will never do a pose which will cause your little one discomfort



PHOTOGRAPHY SAFETY & MERGED IMAGES



WHEN YOU LOOK THROUGH MY GALLERY THERE MAY BE SOME POSES IN WHICH IT LOOKS AS IF THE BABY IS HOLDING THEMSELVES UP. THESE IMAGES ARE ACTUALLY TWO OR MORE PHOTOS PUT TOGETHER TO GIVE YOU A SAFE, BUT CREATIVE POLISHED IMAGE YOU WILL RECEIVE.



This first photograph shows the baby's daddy holding the head up nice and firmly, under direction.



This second photograph shows dad holding babys chin while she she sleeps soundly. You might think this is not going to make a great photo, but............



The final edited image! This photo has been edited from the two photos you saw above by merging them together.



IT IS NOT SAFE FOR A BABY TO HAVE PHOTOS LIKE THIS WITHOUT THE HEAD BEING SUPPORTED. SAFETY COMES FIRST!



FLOKATI SHOTS.



A Flokati is basically a fluffy blanket! We normally have a short break which will allow for baby to have a top up of some milk before we move on to the flokati and prop photos. I have a selection of props which you can choose from and 4 different flokati colours to choose from.



time for some shots with PROPS!



NEXT UP IS TIME FOR SOME PHOTOGRAPHS WITH SOME PROPS. YOU WILL NEED TO BE READY TO BE MY SPOTTER FOR THE PROP SHOTS. BABY’S SAFETY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING SO I NEED TO TO BE SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO THE BABY JUST IN CASE THEY STARTLE OR MOVE SUDDENLY.





PHOTOS OF PARENTS





I always finish the session with the parent images because if little one is awake it is nice to catch them looking at mum and dad. These can be done on a background colour of your choice.
