At home baby photoshoots don’t come with rules, not when you have your session with me.
When I had my three babies, I felt so much pressure to get them photographed at certain times. Like If I didnt have them photographed in the first 10 days they would self destruct, and that they had to be posed and perfect, and that siblings could be involved… sort of…but only with the cursory “lie them on the floor and then lie baby alongside them in their arms and then the siblings are ‘done’… Not to mention that to do all of this I also had to dig us all out of our new baby bubble, get dress, operate on someone else’s schedule, pack a bag the size of a spaceship to take changes of clothes and nappies (for both baby and me, especially if my milk went berserk and soaked through my top for the millionth time).
I was presented by too many rules that didn’t feel right for us as a family, and quite frankly made me feel like I was failing before I even began!
There is no shade here- there are plenty of photographers who provide this kind of newborn photography and an excellent service, take stunning pictures and are incredibly talented and skilled at what they do. I will never be the one to sit here and say what any fellow photographer offers and does is ‘wrong’, I’d just like people to know that there are options. New baby photoshoots with me are slow, in home (or can outdoors in the warmer months), they celebrate the every day of you as a family with this new beautiful human in your world, and they embrace the wildness and chaos of having a baby in the house whether that’s your first or fourth. I want to create and hold a space for you as a family that is zero pressure, safe, kind, honest, and is able to fill with the love that your little family produces.
My advice in life is always “you do you”, choose what fits for you in this time of life. I’d love to capture your family as it grows… so you know where I am when you’re ready to get something booked in.
