I went to Chelsea to meet this new baby girl following the maternity portrait session with this lovely family in Chelsea 4 weeks earlier.
Newborn photography sessions feel so different to the pregnancy session, especially with the first baby. The wonder and excitement when you’re pregnant and anticipation of the change to your life is so overwhelming and then when your new baby arrives it’s replaced with complete love.
This portrait taken during our session of mother and baby is so gentle, capturing that first tender moment. In all my newborn photography sessions I work through a combination of portraits: mother & baby, father & baby, family and newborn baby curled up on his/her own and the result is a beautiful portfolio of newborn photography that will provide a lasting memory of this fleeting time.
Black & white photography doesn’t date, it’s timeless and looks elegant and contemporary whether you choose to have your portraits framed in one of my hand crafted gallery frames, displayed on a fine art canvas, single loose leaf fine art prints, treasured in one of my bespoke coffee table books or prepared to print as often as you like in the presentation DVD package.
A newborn session typically takes between two – three hours (sometimes closer to four depending on feeding and changes), the perfect time for a newborn session is within the first two weeks after your baby is born and I recommend booking as far in advance as possible.
