If this is your baby, you’re definitely not alone 😅

There’s actually a reason this happens.

When your baby is in your arms, they’re warm, supported and surrounded by your body. They can feel your touch and movement. Then suddenly they’re moved onto a cooler, still surface, their position changes and they lose that feeling of being held.

That movement can also trigger their Moro reflex, or startle reflex, causing their arms and legs to suddenly move and sometimes waking them completely.

It’s something I’m very aware of during newborn sessions.

One of the secrets is keeping baby feeling snug and secure. Supporting their arms and legs as you put them down helps avoid that sudden “I’m falling!” feeling that can trigger the startle reflex and wake them up.

When I move a sleeping baby from one pose or setup to another, I do it slowly and gradually, keeping them supported and maintaining contact for a little while even after I’ve put them down.

Sometimes I’ll stop halfway through a transition because I can feel baby starting to stir. Sometimes we wait. Sometimes we settle again. And sometimes baby decides we’re doing something completely different. 😂

After years of photographing newborns, you learn that getting those peaceful, sleepy images is much less about having a “good sleeper” and much more about understanding newborn behaviour and knowing when not to rush them.

So if you’re looking at newborn photos thinking, “My baby would NEVER do that…” trust me, you might be surprised. 🤍

Loved catching up with this gorgeous family again 💕 This time for an outdoors session as the kids are a little older and full of energy!

We had such a great time playing games and exploring nature together 🥰 Not even the wind stopped us 😄

POV: Baby has fallen asleep and now you need to remove the onesie 😂

Slowly… slowly… nobody breathe. 🤫

Keeping baby cosy and comfortable is always the priority, and little Annabella clearly had complete faith in the process.

Didn’t even flinch. Absolute pro at her first photoshoot 🤍

Looking to capture your little baby while they’re still small?

Some families I get to photograph once. And some I have the privilege of watching grow 🤍

I first photographed Aedan when he was a tiny newborn.

Then again when he turned one.

And now, somehow, he’s FIVE! 🤩

Outdoor sessions work so beautifully with older children because there isn’t that pressure to sit still and smile at the camera.

They can run.
Explore.
Play.
Be silly.
Cuddle Mum and Dad.

📸And I get to photograph everything in between.

The big laughs, the little looks, the cuddles and all that gorgeous connection that happens naturally when everyone is simply enjoying being together 💕

Yes, we’ll always get those beautiful family portraits for the wall too, but some of my favourites are often the completely unplanned ones.

And if you first found me as a newborn photographer, here’s your reminder that I don’t only photograph tiny babies!
