NEWBORN PHOTO SESSIONS
(Posed & Lifestyle)

Those first precious days of your baby’s life are filled with tiny details, tender moments, and pure love.

My newborn photo sessions are designed to preserve this fleeting time with timeless, heartfelt photos you will cherish forever.

Posed Newborn Photography Sessions

My posed newborn style is to pose the newborn safely and comfortably, but to keep it as natural as possible.

When choosing a posed newborn photographer, it is important the photographer has training on how to pose your precious new baby to avoid any strain or injury particularly to the neck as well as monitoring their circulation. I have completed the APNPI Qualified Newborn Photographer Accreditation and the APNPI Safety Course so you know your newborn baby is in well trained hands. I have taken extensive training with some of the best newborn photographers in the world both hands on and online. I know how to pose your baby safely and to let your baby lead me throughout the session.

My editing style philosophy is also to be as natural as possible by taking out distracting blemishes, discolourations, and softening the skin. I do not do composite images, digital backgrounds or poses that are unsafe for your sweet little baby.

My props (buckets, beds, pails and stuffed toys etc), wraps and outfits are high quality and are included in the price. You don’t need to bring anything but the baby. Posed newborn sessions take place ONLY in my studio, which is sanitized before and after each session and ideally between 7-21 days old but with my training, I am happy to discuss up to 6 weeks old.

I do offer payment plans for all newborn sessions. Book as early as possible. It is best to book your newborn session at the beginning of your second trimester and then we can adjust the session date once the baby arrives.
