Newborn Portrait shoot with baby Matthew

The really special thing about photographing weddings is that I often get asked back to photograph my couples new arrivals which is an absolute privilege. Kerianne and Ian asked me to do a maternity shoot and a newborn shoot when beautiful baby matthew arrived, both of which were amazing to photograph.

Typically a new born shoot should be done within the first 2 weeks of birth when the baby is very sleepy and mold-able. I always ask the parents if they have any ideas of their own and if there are any props that they would like to include.The new born session can last up to 3 hours with feeding and nap breaks taking priority, however nap breaks can also be a good opportunity to photograph the little ones when they are at their most peaceful.

Lovely to meet you Matthew xx
