What to Expect During Your Newborn Photoshoot
Welcoming a new baby is one of the most magical moments in life and I feel truly honoured to capture these precious memories for you. My mobile newborn photography sessions are designed to be calm, relaxed, and filled with love, all in the comfort of your home.
Here's a little insight into how the photoshoot process works:
A Warm Welcome & Preparation
At the start of your session, I'll take a few minutes to talk you through everything, so you know exactly what to expect. I'll also ask a few gentle questions about your baby's birth and wellbeing, as each photoshoot is carefully tailored to your little one's needs and comfort.
2. Setting Up in Your Home
As a mobile photographer, I bring everything needed to create a professional yet homely setup-from props and wraps to lighting if required. Setting up usually takes around 10-15 minutes, and I make sure to work around your space and natural light.
3. Getting to Know Your Baby
Before we begin, I'll spend a few moments connecting with your baby-letting them get used to my voice, scent, and gentle touch. During this time, I'll softly wrap or dress your baby, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed before we start taking photos.
4. The Photoshoot Experience
The photoshoot is calm and flexible, allowing plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, or comforting breaks. I usually work through two main setups, capturing both beautifully posed baby's portraits and family portrait moments that reflect your family's love and connection.
5.Family Photos
Towards the end of the session, I'll invite you to join in for some family photos. Don't worry if you're not used to being in front of the camera-I'll gently guide you through each pose so that everything feels natural and effortless.
6. After the Session
By the end, everyone is usually a little tired but full of joy and excitement for the beautiful memories we've created. Your final, professional edited gallery will be ready within 3 weeks for you to cherish forever.
Please don't worry if your baby cries, gets hungry, or needs changing during the sessions this is completely normal! I plan for it all and create a stress free, baby-led experience so you can simply enjoy the moment.
Every photoshoot is a story of love, connection, and the beauty of new beginnings-and I can't wait to tell yours.
Can't wait yo meet you and your little one!
