Very soon I will be launching our very own in-home studio, I’m busting to create a beautiful homely space you can bring your newborns too but until then I photograph in my beautiful clients homes across Perth using whatever corners with natural light we can find. Theres a few things you can do to help your newborn photography session run smoothly.
Feed right before your session and feed, change or comfort whenever you need to during the session. Trust me, if your Bub is hungry you’ll hear about it, and settling a very upset baby is a lot harder than taking 10 mins to feed and then getting right back into shooting. This is why I allow an hour and a half, sometimes more for these sessions.
Make sure you have a warm room. Babies start to fuss when they get cold so make sure you’ve got that heater set to a nice temperature.
Ill give you plenty of gentle direction so dont worry about that part, just come and bring yourself and your good vibes. If im not saying anything its because youre nailing it, we want natural and organic images but the process of getting there requires some gentle direction so we get the pretties images with the best angles and light. Have fun and enjoy this time with your newborn. This is such a beautiful moment, your little Bub will never be this little or be in this stage again so try not to stress if they fuss or cry, thats okay. All we need is little moments to capture. If you are authentic and having fun we will get images that reflect that.
Wear neutrals. This is not a hard and fast rule but theres nothing worse than looking fab and then realising the outfit you chose clashes with your partners. Choose neutral colours and outfits that don’t have any crazy patterns and you cant go wrong.
