 To see my newborn portfolio click here. I was honoured that this little beauties Mummy and Daddy chose me to take her newborn shots. Her parents are over from America, and liked my work so chose me to capture this precious little babies newborn shots. The fascinator is babies Great Grandmothers, and Mum wore it as her fascinator on her wedding day. I love the history and significance of this photo. Hopefully this will be something that continues over the years.

 We decided on a really simple styled theme, just little pops of colour, and simple shots, after all what is more beautiful than a gorgeous little newborn baby. Mum and Dad were happy letting me pick little bits and pieces, and even though I do a lot of planning before a newborn shoot. I always show parents the selection of things I have picked out when they arrive and let them have a look at anything else I have. I love incorporating ideas from families, in fact I have some very exciting shoots coming up that are more themed.

 Those lips and lashes, new babies change so quickly and lose that newborn look so quickly.

 If you follow my blog posts or website you will know that I choose to use ethically sourced props, and wool products, that gorgeous newborn bear hat from Angora? Bunny was brushed and loose fur collected. Such a simple shot, but you can see so much of babies family in this photo. 

We actually didn't do too many prop shots in this session. I do however love this birch bed, it's one of my favourite props. So simple and natural. 

Christmas - mini session time - child portraits in Essex, Suffolk.

I love this time of year and mini sessions. A chance to have a scaled back shoot with all the excitement of Christmas. There is something so magical about this time of year, the excitement, I think the build up to Christmas and the joy in children anticipating Christmas Day is just wonderful.

Suffolk Essex and London beautiful baby photography

These photos are from a standard newborn session, sessions are never rushed,

and we take it at babies pace. With plenty of time for feeding and soothing. I am often told just how patient I am! You have to be these little people can't be rushed. With this Colchester photography session, older brother didn't really want baby anywhere near him, so when he fell asleep, his Daddy quickly positioned him on my beanbag and then held baby in place so we could get a shot of these two little angels snoozing, Dad's hands have been edited out. This isn't something I would normally do in a newborn session, usually we can find a way to composite or maybe a teeny bit or persuading to get sibling shots. 

Mum loved her images from this shoot, in fact she is a repeat customer. And sent me the cutest little baby hats as a gift to say thank you, I truly am blessed to capturing people most precious memories of their newborns. And meeting some wonderful people. The video below shows a few of the shots we managed from this session. Showing just how varied and creative it can be, each session is unique to each client.

Safe newborn photography

Safe newborn photography must be a priority to see more of my work click here.
I am now an approved member of BANPAS, photographers are not regulated in our Country so it is down to individual photographers to ensure they are safe and insured, by joining BANPAS I believe is the only way to move forward, all too often photographers see unsafe practices involving newborns, whilst this may look cute and fairly easy, it is actually hard to master certain poses. Babies can jerk even in a laying position. I know fellow photographers that make all the excuses in the world why they haven't got insurance, I have gone without to set my newborn business up properly, I had insurance from the word go, and I know there are MANY other likeminded photographers across the Country and in this area who are devoted to baby safety. Sometimes you may save £50 or more by going to someone cheap but you have to ask yourself, is it worth the risk?
