POV: A newborn session needs to be quick because my baby won't tolerate being handled for long.
This is a common misconception many new parents have. They think 1.5 - 2.5 hours of a full newborn experience would be too long for their baby.
The reason my sessions are that long is that they have been designed specifically around newborn babies needs.
There is no rushing, I am led by the baby I am photographing and I'm always looking out for cues to know what they need.
During my newborn photoshoots, there is plenty of time for me to settle your baby, meaning we can get a lovely mixture of sleepy and awake images.
And if your new arrival has older siblings, this extra time is ideal to allow them to settle in before getting them in front of the camera.
If there is anything you've been wondering about my newborn sessions, drop it in the comments below or send me a DM, I'd be happy to help.
