As a newborn baby photographer, it is my joy and privilege to capture the precious moments of a family's newest addition. Each photo shoot is filled with tender emotions, love, and a touch of unpredictability. One particular session stands out in my memory, involving baby Isobel and her adoring parents in the comfort of their home.
Isobel's parents had been one step ahead and prepared this lovely setting of a sheep skin on the bed. Together with the lighting I brought to their homes, and the white outfit, we had this stunning white on white which makes these photos look so dreamy and angelic!
I got this lovely 5-star Google review from mom, Ciara:
“Jan was so personable and really put us at ease. The photos were beyond our expectations, he really captured special moments with our newborn. Would not hesitate to recommend!”
Well, thank you for that! Grinning from ear to ear!
I love taking photos of the parents interacting with their baby, nuzzling in, or stroking. These intimate moments are so precious to capture and cherish for years to come.
After these photos, I set up my equipment in the living room. I moved some of the furniture around to have a lovely setting with the armchair, creating a neat and visually spectacular setting. Even if it doesn’t make sense to arrange the furniture in that way as a functional living space. But it looks great for the pictures!
Isobel's parents lovingly cradled her, as I captured these portraits and also made sure to photograph every tiny detail, like her eyes, hands and feet. The parents were understandably proud and eager to capture these early memories, making sure to book me ASAP. Isobel, seemingly unaware of the significance of the occasion, seemed quite content on her parents' arms.
There were a few tears, but that is normal for a newborn baby photo shoot and something a bottle usually fixes! This is why I always make sure I schedule plenty of time for these baby shoots.
As a newborn baby photographer, I understand the importance of documenting these fleeting moments, the stories that make each family's journey distinct and unforgettable.
If you would like to book a newborn baby photo shoot with me, say hi to me here, I’d love to hear from you!
Or we can also do a family photo shoot, like this, if your child/children are already a little bit older.
Till the next blog post!
