Natural and Tender Newborn Photography in dorset
What To Expect
My Working style
My workflow for newborn shoots is 100% laid-back, no pressure. There are two main parts of a newborn shoot; capturing their teeny little details and capturing you all as a family. We let the little one lead the session workflow… if they want to be held we start with family shots and if they’re feeling chilled or sleepy then we focus all on them.
Direction
My photography style is very authentic and raw. I’ll give you gentle prompts throughout the session whilst also leaving room for natural moments of connection.
Atmosphere
Those first few weeks are hazy and you never really know how you’ll be feeling day by day. That’s why it’s important for me to make your session feeI as though your best friend has just come over to hang out and be there for you in the postpartum haze!
" your creative eye is why we use you so often. Thank you for being so sweet and relaxed with our baby. "

Newborn Photoshoot FAQs

Anytime from your 12 week scan you can book in for newborn sessions however I am aware some people may prefer to wait until their 20 week scan to do so! Most of my clients book their maternity and newborn shoots at the same time for ease!
Booking in advance is highly advised! However, on occasion I may have last minute spaces so it’s always worth getting in touch.

Your newborn session will usually take place at your home. Read the ‘5 reasons to book an in home newborn photoshoot’ blog here.
I have had the occasional newborn photoshoot outside so depending on the season this is something I can accommodate.

As newborns tend to arrive as and when they want, you may be thinking how does the booking process work?
We will book you in for a provisional date 10/14 days after your due date. When the little one arrives you just let me know and we finalise a date and time that works for both of us. I always leave room each month for any early or late arrivals.
-
4 weeks after our shoot together, you’ll receive a link to your private online gallery where you can download your images.
All photos are professionally edited and provided within your gallery so you can chose your favourites to keep forever.
If you decide that 15 digital photos just isn’t enough then there are upgrade options available (some including prints that are sent straight to your home if you’re after some keepsakes).
