Newborn Photography | Baby Abigail

Beautiful Life — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 16:09:31 +0000

I thought I’d share a few pics from my latest newborn photography shoot, one sweet little baby called Abigail. Dan and Suzie brought their first baby Nathan up from Hemel Hempstead,London for some baby photos about two years ago. He was probably one of the most chilled out babies I have ever worked with, so I was curious to see whether it would run in the family. Baby Photography is always unpredictable!! Abigail didn’t want to miss anything and was determined to stay awake but eventually gave in and had a quick nap in a bucket and we got some lovely pics!

Newborn Photography | Baby Rohan

Beautiful Life — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 17:03:26 +0000

It was lovely to visit Kelly and Shyam again, you may remember them from their maternity photography shoot a couple of months ago. It was a real pleasure to meet their gorgeous little baby boy Rohan and capture some special memories for them. Rohan slept peacefully and we got some lovely images. He is the biggest newborn I have photographed so far, I think just over 10 lbs, the little hats very a very snug fit! Congratulations Kelly and Shyam and all the best with the move to the States.

Newborn Photography | Baby Lexie

Beautiful Life — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 23:22:25 +0000

Meet little Lexie, just 7 days old, our latest baby photography session! It is always a privilege to visit a brand new family and capture those precious moments in their first few days together. We got some gorgeous shots of Lexie with her proud Mummy and Daddy and had lots of fun dressing her up in wooly hats and funny pants while she slept soundly through the whole thing! Lexie is definately the smiliest newborn I’ve ever met. Usually you’re lucky if you get one little grin at a Newborn session but this little girl just didn’t stop smiling! Congratulations Emma and Jamie, she is so beautiful and here are a few of Lexie’s newborn photos. Enjoy!!

Kelly and Shyam | Maternity Photography

Beautiful Life — Wed, 11 May 2011 16:24:29 +0000

I had a great afternoon in Leicester last week with Kelly and Shyam. I always love Maternity Photography because there’s usually just a few weeks to go until baby is due so couples are excited and busy getting everything ready for the new arrival. I can talk babies and births till the cows come home, so I am in a happy place! Kelly is from the States so it was great to hear all about how they do things over there, slightly different to the good old NHS! Anyway, here are the pics, can’t wait to see baby in about 7 weeks time! If you would like to know more about our Bump and Baby Photography packages please give us a call.

Rebecca and Emily | Children’s Photography

Beautiful Life — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 10:31:32 +0000

Thought I’d share a few images from Friday’s portrait session. Children’s photography sessions are so crazy with so many variables that you never know just how it’s going to go! You can do as much planning as you like, you can sort the outfit’s, buy lots of treats (bribes), time your session perfectly around everyone’s naps and meal times but when the camera comes out anything can happen! Before you know it 2 hours have passed and there are props, toys and outfits everywhere, mum’s aching from pulling every funny face in the book in order to get that smile, and you’re all laughing because you know you’ve just cracked one of life’s big challenges and you even enjoyed it!

As you know I love natural light and wherever possible I like to photograph kids outside but the weather on friday morning was horrible so indoors it had to be. I dislike white paper backdrops with a passion as they are just so dull so I made my own, much more fun. These two little ladies were just so cute! Emily with her amazing hair is just six months old and not quite sitting on her own so we had to do all sorts of crazy stuff to get some solo portraits of her, I just love the one of her in the basket. Her big sister is going through her ‘forced smile’ stage (which personally I love, it’s just so funny but most mum’s hate!) so it’s important to help children feel relaxed and catch them with a natural expression.

Newborn Photography | George

Beautiful Life — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 23:23:25 +0000

Another little treasure, this time a little bit bigger at 3 weeks old it’s baby George. Of course George’s special ‘the photographer is coming’ sensor kicked in and he was still perky after 2 hours of wrapping, rocking, shushing, patting and feeding etc. At three weeks old babies are much more aware and awake and starting to stretch out those arms and legs, George was determined to keep one eye on the action, we were all yawning away! Eventually he nodded off and we got some lovely shots, definitely worth the wait.

We took the opportunity whilst waiting for little George to nod off to take some awake shots (and drink tea, talk about ‘one born every minute’ and discuss all the things about childbirth that nobody tells you about!!)

Fast asleep and smiling! I know they say it’s just wind but what mum believes that really? Congratulations Nicola and Matt, you have one very sweet little boy.

Baby Photography ❘ Isla

Beautiful Life — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 10:29:10 +0000

It brought back memories for me yesterday when I went to do my last Newborn Photography session before Christmas. The Christmas tree was up and in the corner was little Isla sleeping soundly, just 9 days old. My eldest daughter was born just before Christmas and I remember climbing up ladders very pregnant decorating the tree, it was definitely a Christmas to remember! Isla gets my Newborn gold star for 2010, she slept the whole session apart from one little cry and a little wee wee on daddy!! Here are some of my favourite images form Isla’s Newborn Photography session.

Baby Photography ❘ Charis

Beautiful Life — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 10:24:00 +0000

Had a lovely newborn photography shoot yesterday and here she is, it’s little Charis at just 10 days new! Armed with the White Noise app on my iPad. I headed out into the snow. Babies seem to sense when the photographer is coming and decide that this will be the first day they will stay awake all day!! With the air conditioner roaring away and lots of cuddles she was soon in the land of nod and we got some great shots which I’m sure will be treasured forever.

If you are planning to have a Newborn photography shoot and you want to make sure you capture all those lovely wrinkles and gorgeous sleeps moments then the key is to book your shoot early. In the first few days of life babies sleep nice and deeply and aren’t really disturbed by changing and moving. At around 7-10 days sleep patterns change and baby becomes more aware of what’s going on. If you’d like to find out more about our Newborn baby Photography shoots then please call the office on: 01509 505438.

Spring has sprung and the babies are arriving thick and fast! We had the pleasure of doing Bev and Dave’s Wedding Film last year so we were really excited when they rang to say they were having a baby and they would like us to take some photographs. Here she is, Baby Emilia at just 1 week old.
