8 day old Amelie and her family

This week has been all about babies and todays baby was a beautiful little girl called Amelie. Even her name is beautiful 💕

Amelie arrived along with big brother Owen, Mummy and Daddy. It took a little while to settle Amelie but once fed, burped and changes again…….. we were ready to roll. We started Amelie in a. simple pink outfit and she sited it perfectly, Mum chose 2 pinks so we knew it would be a lovely cutie shoot.

After a few minutes and a few props we changed to our Disney themed props and she worked so well with these. We also brought Owen in for most of these photos and it worked beautifully. He was so soft and tender towards his new baby sister. We then thought we would try our new grey basket but the pink was not working so we popped her in a cream set and did those all whilst Mummy was in the bathroom, a lovely bonus treat when she was the photos.

Back to our second pink set and again we went through the props with and with our Owen and it was perfect. Amelie really was the perfect little newborn. We have been so lucky this week.

After this we did a few more in a grey outfit that mum did choose because she was doing so well. Then onto family photos which were great fun.

All in all it was a pretty perfect photoshoot with an amazing family ♥️

Are the Disney themed props part of the newborn photoshoot?

Yes they are and all themes are included at no extra cost. We have most Disney characters with matching bunting. Peter Rabbit with bunting and Paddington bear with bunting. Its absolutely awesome to get a few with all or with your favourite characters. You are of course welcome to bring your own along too if you prefer.

What do we bring to a newborn photoshoot?

This is our most common question with new mums. Well Sue and I have a huge studio full of beautiful baskets, swings and beanbag props for new babies. We also have all the little outfits that you see on our website, we have 2 of most for twins too. We also have a few soft toys and lots of special blankets and rugs. We have full changing facilities too and a Mummy and Baby room although we are 100% happy for you to change and feed baby in the comfort of the studio whilst having a cuppa from our free and pretty cool coffee machine or indeed catching up on facebook with our free wifi.

So to answer the question. Extra nappies is always a great idea, probably for a couple of years not just the photoshoot Plus extra milk, if your feeding baby yourself then its not a problem but if you bottle feed either full time or even just at night then its handy to bring some spare milk because newborns sometimes take a bottle easier in a strange environment. Other than that we are all covered.

How do you create the right environment?

We had already started by creating the right environment for our babies. Our studio is warm, comfortable and safe and filled with the scent of our specially blended Aromatherapy oils it is just perfect for babies. Our props are all warmed in preparation so there are no unexpected cold areas for babies delicate skin. No shocks to wake them or disturb their perfect slumber. Most of all we allow time, lots of time for you to relax and baby to feel safe and happy.

Surely there must be hidden extras?

Absolutely not. Sue and I sell our photo packages just like we prefer to buy things, that is everything upfront and honest. Every package we offer from newborns, cake shoots and family shoots comes with all of the photos that we take (minus any mistakes or blinkers etc) and they are all high resolution 300dpi ready to print and share with family and friends. That means afterwards you can pop along to your local printers and buy prints or a canvas which is super important if you live away or if your parents live away and they want photos or any album, you just forward the download link that we send you.

Some photographers offer newborn shoots for £95 but you don’t get any photos. Or £150.00 and you get a very small selection of photos. Either way you are forced to walk away with very little or indeed nothing or you pay hundreds and maybe thousands afterwards. With us our Newborn shoots are £275.00 and you Get everything we take, often close to 100 beautiful photos. With our cake shoot smash and splash its £200.00 including the cake and photos.
