Simply passionate about...
capturing those precious early days
Babies grow so quickly and no more so than in those first weeks,
when all that guzzling milk and sleeping helps them pile on the
pounds and they soon lose that newborn look. At the time it can seem
more practical to leave baby portraits until they are a few months
old but wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to look back at how they
looked when they first arrived in our world?
A newborn shoot should ideally take place within the first two weeks
when baby is still all curled up and sleeping a lot (we hope!). I
know from personal experience that this is a time when new mothers
are cocooned at home, resting and enjoying new motherhood. The photo
shoot therefore takes place with the minimum of disruption and
stress to mother and baby. I work to baby's schedule and not the
other way round and the shoot will typically take around 2-3 hours,
with much of that time spent feeding, changing and settling baby.
To bring personality, the "cute" factor and a sense of scale to the
pictures I use ultra soft, chunky knitted accessories (all hand
knitted by yours truly) such as hats, blankets and headbands. These
items are also available to buy as a momento of the shoot or simply
to keep baby warm and looking cute! Click

If you're expecting shortly and would like to meet me before baby
arrives and turns your world upside down, that's fine. I'm happy to
come and discuss your requirements so that it's all sorted out well
ahead of time.
A Newborn shoot costs £60. I also offer a Bump and Baby package and
a Baby's First Year Package, which includes a Christmas card option
and also entitles you to 50% off a "My First Year" photobook . See
prices for more information.
Your images will be available to look at
shortly afterwards on your own password protected gallery, where you
and your family can also order prints. Framed pictures, acrylics,
canvases, photobooks and much more are also available - just ask me
and we'll work out the best option for you.
