Newborn Photographer South West London

This sweet little newborn was photographed at just two weeks new. I love the shot I took with the beautiful handmade blanket, made by her great Grandma. It was lovely to capture something so personal for the family. With her little fingers gently resting by her face.

For this next portrait I used a soft handmade bonnet and wrap from my collection of handmade newborn props. These are always firm favourites with my Clients. The beautiful cobweb affect of this wrap is stunning. It’s very fragile and delicate. This little one was such a dream to photograph.

I always photograph the little details like the hands and feet. One of my favourite ways to capture perfect toes is cupped in their parents hands. Like a little clam. For this one I used Daddy’s hand on top and mummy’s underneath.

There is nothing quite like the memory of your newborn baby grasping onto one of your fingers. Their ting fingers wrapped around one of yours. Possibly the best feeling in the world. Definitely one that you never forget and it is so lovely to create a lasting memory of this.

It is hard to resist a double pom pom hat! This is another favourite with my Clients. It’s just so gorgeous in this adorable folded arm position.

Choosing the perfect time for your newborn session

I like to take the lead of the new parents on this one. My guide is to book your newborn portrait session before your baby is born. This is so that a time period around your due date can be reserved. It ensure that I can fit you in within the first 1 – 3 weeks following the birth. This is the ideal time for newborn portraits. It is when your baby is still sleepy and we can achieve these beautiful newborn poses.

The reason I say I like to take the parents lead is because this is simply my guide. Births are unpredictable and sometimes there is a little more recovery time needed. I always listen to my Clients and work with their needs.
