Home
Having newborn photos taken at home offers a comfortable, personalised, and flexible setting, allowing for the capture of genuine moments that reflect the uniqueness of your family's story.
Comfort and Familiarity
Home is a familiar and comfortable environment for both parents and newborns. This sense of comfort helps create a relaxed atmosphere, allowing for more natural and genuine moments to be captured.
Personalised Setting
Your home provides a personalised backdrop, allowing for a more customised and meaningful photo session. Incorporating elements from your baby's nursery or special areas of your home adds a personal touch to the images.
Storytelling Opportunities
Home sessions provide the opportunity to capture the everyday moments and interactions that make up your family's story. From cuddles in the nursery to feeding sessions in the living room, these candid moments tell a richer narrative.
Less Stress for Parents
Traveling with a newborn can be stressful. Having the photographer come to your home eliminates the need to pack up and transport your baby and belongings, making the experience more enjoyable for both parents and baby.

Including older siblings and family pets is often easier in a home setting. This allows for more natural interactions and helps create a cohesive family narrative within the photos.

Lifestyle
Opting for newborn photos outdoors on location provides a picturesque and versatile setting, allowing for a range of creative possibilities while capturing the natural beauty of your family and the newest addition.
Natural Scenery
Outdoor locations provide a stunning, natural backdrop for your newborn photos. The beauty of nature, whether it's a park, garden, or another scenic spot, adds a timeless and organic element to the images.
Soft and Natural Light
Outdoor settings offer soft, diffused natural light, especially during the golden hours around sunrise or sunset. This soft lighting is flattering and enhances the overall warmth and charm of the photographs.
Variety of Backgrounds
Outdoor locations offer a diverse range of backgrounds, textures, and colors. From lush greenery to urban landscapes, these diverse settings allow for a variety of creative compositions in your newborn photos.
Seasonal Themes
Depending on the time of year, outdoor sessions can incorporate seasonal elements. Whether it's blooming flowers in spring, autumn leaves, or a snowy winter landscape, these seasonal touches can add a unique and thematic quality to your photos.
Family Connection
Outdoor sessions provide an opportunity for the entire family to connect with nature. Including siblings or pets in the photos becomes more seamless and allows for candid interactions in a natural environment.
A Breath of Fresh Air
Being outdoors offers a refreshing and relaxed atmosphere. It allows parents and newborns alike to enjoy the benefits of fresh air and the calming sounds of nature, contributing to a more tranquil and enjoyable photo session.
Personalised Settings
Outdoor locations can be chosen based on personal significance, such as a favorite park or a place that holds sentimental value. This adds a personal touch and narrative to the images.
Candid Moments
Outdoor environments often encourage spontaneous and candid moments. From gentle breezes to natural reactions, these unscripted moments capture the essence of your family in a more authentic way.

Fresh 48
A Fresh 48 newborn session is a great idea for capturing authentic and timeless moments within the first 48 hours of a baby's life. It provides a unique perspective and a precious documentation of the early bonding moments for the family to cherish for a lifetime.
Capture the Early Moments
Fresh 48 sessions take place within the first 48 hours of a baby's life, capturing the very early moments. This provides an opportunity to document the newborn's first interactions, expressions, and the immediate family's emotions.
Authenticity
Fresh 48 sessions capture the raw and authentic moments of a family adjusting to the arrival of a newborn. These images showcase genuine emotions, reactions, and the natural beauty of the early bonding moments.
Minimal Disruption
Fresh 48 sessions are typically conducted in the hospital or place of birth, minimising disruption to the family's routine. I work around the natural flow of the environment, allowing the family to focus on the baby without the need for additional props or poses.
Documenting Sibling and Family Bonds
For families with older siblings, a Fresh 48 session provides an opportunity to document their first interactions with the newborn. Capturing these initial moments of sibling bonding can be incredibly heartwarming.
Embracing the Newborn Stage
Fresh 48 sessions showcase the newborn in their earliest stage, often capturing details like tiny fingers, wrinkled feet, and the overall delicacy of the newborn. These details fade quickly, making it a unique and precious time to document.
No Need to Prepare
Unlike posed newborn sessions, Fresh 48 sessions do not require elaborate preparations or props. The focus is on the natural beauty of the family and the newborn in their immediate environment.
The hospital or birthing place provides a unique backdrop that can add an authentic touch to the photos. Documenting the baby in the hospital bassinet, the nursery, or even in the arms of family members in a hospital room creates a memorable setting.
Memories for a Lifetime
Fresh 48 sessions provide families with timeless memories of the early days with their newborn. The images serve as a beautiful reminder of the emotions, connections, and fleeting moments during this special time.
