Do you love the idea of not having to leave home for your photo session? You may be wanting to book but not quite sure what to expect and what you would need to provide. Well let me set you at ease! I love in home sessions, especially for newborns. Life has already just been turned on its head and it is so much easier for family and bub if you can simply continue your regular feed/sleep routine rather than interrupting that to make a session elsewhere. I remember when my kids were little trying to get somewhere by a set time could seem impossible and often arriving in a flap with a cranky woken baby. When at home this stress is completely removed. When I arrive baby may be sleeping/feeding and that is totally fine. I will capture those moments and your authentic family routine including siblings and family shots. You can capture the baby in their cot, nursing in your rocking chair or favourite couch, in all the places you and they will spend hours upon hours together. In years to come you will love having those memories.
Do you worry your home doesn’t match the aesthetic you have in mind for your images? Rest easy knowing you do not need a beautifully styled show home to achieve gorgeous in home images. I completely understand worrying about clutter, mess or busy backgrounds but with aperture blur you or your family will be the focus with all the rest out of focus. It is my job to find the angles and light or strategically place a neutral throw to transform your space into the images you desire. You can include blankets or pieces special to you or I have several gorgeous headbands, basket and wraps to use.
You can feel comfortable in your own environment to just be yourselves. Within newborn sessions, however the mother is feeding, I love taking the opportunity to capture this bond. While it may not be something you have thought to jump at capturing, when done well it is a beautiful memory you will cherish.
This time of your life is like no other and it is my honour to support you in however you are choosing to do it.
Newborn sessions are ideally planned for before 10 days old as baby is still generally more sleepy but sessions with older babies is still totally fine.
When booking it is best to advise your due date and I will pencil you in around that time however we will stay in touch as your pregnancy progresses and you welcome your baby so we can lock in an exact day.
