The first few days of a baby’s life are amazing! I recommend newborn images be taken in the first 7 days -3 weeks. This ensures that your baby will be quite sleepy and can easily curl into positions. If you are currently pregnant I highly recommend making a tentative booking around the time you are due, this can be changed to suit if your baby arrives early or later. I also understand there are some circumstances that may mean you cant have photos within those first couple of weeks, but thats ok! I have shot newborn sessions with babies up to 6 weeks of age, there just may be a couple of poses we may be unable to capture, due to your baby being a little more awake during their session. During your in-home session I will capture a mix of candid and posed images, getting a good mix (with siblings, with mum, with dad etc) to make up your gallery.
Older baby, toddler and children sessions:
Baby’s and toddlers are such a joy to photography as they are usually full of smiles and have such bubbly little personalities. One of my favourite ages to photograph would have to be babies around 6-9 months old. For older children, I am not unknown to tell a silly joke to get a smile! When I photography children I tend to just let them be themselves during the shoot, I try not to force them into poses, I normally ask them to show me what they’ve got and it works wonders!
Maternity sessions:
M photographs are taken at a location of your choice (beach, creek, field, park and garden). Pregnancy photography is best done in early-mid final trimester when your bump is at its best. Maternity photos are such a lovely way to remember this special time in your life.
Family sessions:
Family photographs are a must have, especially before the kids get too cool to want to pose with Mum and Dad! I like to shoot using natural light in a relaxed and casual style, I have a list of my favourite places to shoot in and around the Gold Coast and Brisbane too so I am happy to recommend a spot to hold your session in.
Two years ago you photographed our little baby Alexandra as part of establishing your folio and business. We really loved the pictures you took for us.
Alexandra has just become a big sister and we thought we’d see if there was any chance you had any time in the next few days to do a newborn + toddler/family session? Thomas was born last Sunday so he is a week old today (and we are late in organising photos!).
