Can you trust what you see in a newborn photographer’s portfolio? 👀

Newborn photography has always involved a little behind-the-scenes magic. Supporting hands can be edited out, several safely photographed images can become one, and a finished portrait doesn’t necessarily show you what was happening in front of the camera.

But AI has changed things again.

Today, an incredibly convincing “newborn photograph” might not contain a photograph - or even a real baby - at all.

My latest blog looks at how parents can choose a safe newborn photographer when what you see online doesn’t always tell the whole story.

I’m sharing real behind-the-scenes images from my own sessions, showing how I use spotters and composites to keep babies safe, why some popular newborn poses should never be attempted as they appear - and there’s a little real baby vs AI baby challenge too.

Think you’ll spot which is which? 😉

Have a read and see how you get on!

That's another gallery done and dusted and sent off to mummy and daddy. Its my own 'baby' boy's birthday today - times like this really do remind me why photography is so important! This little chap reminds me so much of my son as a baby - 36 years ago today, am I really that old? 🤨

There’s something very special about being able to see just how tiny they once were.

Those little feet, those curled-up fingers, and four very familiar hands holding them safely between them.

These are the photographs that become more precious as the years pass - because one day it’s almost impossible to remember that your baby really did fit into your hands like this.

My newborn photography sessions are relaxed and completely baby-led, with plenty of time for those simple, timeless images alongside all the lovely sleepy newborn portraits.

Newborn sessions take place at my studio in Fillongley, Warwickshire, within easy reach of Coventry, Solihull, Warwick, Kenilworth and Leamington Spa.

I currently have limited availability for October due dates, some availability during November, and very limited availability for December due dates.

Tiny details, sleepy snuggles and the most beautiful little head of hair

I absolutely love these soft, simple newborn portraits - keeping the focus exactly where it belongs, on your gorgeous new baby. And this beautiful green was just perfect for this little one.

Newborn photography sessions take place in my cosy studio in Fillongley, Warwickshire, welcoming families from Coventry, Solihull, Warwick, Kenilworth, Leamington Spa and the surrounding areas.

If you’re expecting a baby later this year, I currently have limited availability for October due dates, better availability in November, and very limited availability for December due dates.

Now THAT is how you celebrate turning one!

Cake smash sessions aren't just about the cake - although obviously cake is a fairly important part of proceedings. They're about capturing all those expressions, giggles and little bits of personality that have appeared during that incredible first year.

And if you'd like to capture the whole journey, my Milestone Memories offer gives you three session fees for the price of two - a newborn session, an older baby session when your little one is sitting, and a cake smash & splash to celebrate their first birthday.

From tiny newborn to this. It really does go ridiculously quickly.

Sometimes you just need a tiny lion to cuddle while you sleep.

This little chap is one of the many props I have here at the studio, and apparently he makes a rather excellent newborn-sized cuddle buddy.

I love this stage when they're still small enough to curl up all snug and sleepy like this - although that fabulous head of hair is already making quite a statement of its own!

Newborn photography sessions take place at my cosy studio in Fillongley, near Coventry.

It's never just a photograph... 🤍

It's the hands that held them when they were only days old.

The tiny fingers they'll one day wrap around yours.

The little paw that already knows this baby belongs.

The beginning of a lifetime of love, captured forever.
