Newborn Photo Shoot

This week we had the pleasure of doing a newborn photo shoot with a baby who was only 9 days old. She was absolutely gorgeous and we had no crying at all. She was asleep to begin with but she woke up later on and we managed to get some shots with her eyes open.

This is the first of 3 photo shoots we will do in the first year of her life. The second one will take place when she is sitting and I can't wait to go back and see what she is like then. These are some of my favourites from the day...

if you are interested in having a baby shoot please get in touch with Louise on 01342 300352 or send me an email.

Baby Photo Shoot - East Grinstead

Yesterday I had a photo shoot with the most adorable little girl. Her Mum, Sharon, is one of the people who run Flowerbug Designs in East Grinstead. Their workshop is just a few doors away from us and we refer business to each other where possible. They will also quite often pop round to our studio for a chat and a cup of coffee - and sometimes even cake!

I had been asked if we would be willing to give a portrait shoot as a competition prize by a publication and they needed a sample image to create a poster. As the session would be against a white backdrop we very quickly needed to create one. Sharon's little girl has been round to our studio a few times and she is just gorgeous. I have been really keen to do a session with her for ages. We spent about half an hour today and managed to get some really cute pictures. In fact, I think Sharon loved all of them. Here are some of my favourites. Any feedback or comments are welcome.

Baby Photo Shoot - 9 month old

I did a photo session yesterday with Alfie who is an incredibly cute 9 month old baby. I did his first session when he was only about 3 weeks old and he has changed such a lot in that time. He now looks like a little boy rather than a baby. I was amazed at how tolerant he was as the shoot took about two hours and he was still really happy at the end. In fact, I think he saved his best smiles for the time after I had packed my cameras away! These are some of my favourites from the day and I would love to receive any feedback or comments.

The photo shoot took place at Ray Lodge Farm and I want to thank Sheila for letting us use her wonderful surroundings.

More fun [blogged by Iain]

As Louise said in her previous post, we're focusing on development in March. Normally, Louise is the one doing the baby photo sessions, so we decided it was time I got some more practice. I would like to thank Russell and Niki for letting me shoot them and their lovely little daughter Yasmin this afternoon. At only seven weeks old, she was a little star and behaved perfectly throughout the session. This is a small selection of the images captured today...

Loving those Babies...

November & December really has been all about the babies. I have really enjoyed going out to take photographs of babies from 3 weeks up to 11 weeks old. And what is great about babies is that they are all so different. A few weeks ago I had a baby where it was impossible to get a sleeping shot because he was so wide awake and then yesterday the baby I was shooting just couldn't stay awake! His Mum asked if she should try and wake him up, but having had babies myself I just couldn't consider doing that. It is just wrong!! So we ended up with really lovely "quiet" shots. Another great thing about the baby sessions is that I will do 3 shoots in the first year so it will be fantastic to watch them grow during that period. I can't wait to do the next batch in about 3 months time. In the meantime, I have another 11 week old baby to photograph tomorrow...

If you know someone who has recently had a baby, and they live in the Sussex/Surrey/Kent area, ask them to get in touch with me if they would like to organise a baby photo shoot. It is definitely worth preserving those memories as they grow up so quickly!

Welcome baby Alfie

I had the absolute pleasure of being asked to take some photographs of Caroline & Julian's baby, Alfie. He is so gorgeous and only 3 weeks old. He managed really well with the session but seriously did not like being placed on his tummy. We were lucky enough to have really good weather on the day which provided some lovely natural light. Here are some of my faves from the day - all comments welcome.

Don't forget we have a Special Offer on "Newborn" sessions that is running until 10th December. Get in touch with me on 07595 044252 to find out more.
