2 month old but still very much a newborn.
I had a message from Yasmin in the early days of lockdown about a possible bump shoot and we had tentatively planned a shoot. Sadly lockdown went on and on and we could not safely do that so we postponed, well cancelled our plans really. The once lockdown was over I spoke to Yasmin about a shoot and it turned our that little Zuri had arrived and because of one this and another it was 6 more weeks before we could arrange a shoot.
We are always a little apprehensive with older newborns but ultimately it just comes down to experience and patience, thankfully we have bucket loads of both 😊 When Yasmin and Robin arrived we settled Zuri and started almost straight away. The first outfit and props were amazing and then she was a little unsettled with the next outfit so a top up of milk was needed and did the trick too.
We then carried on with 2 more gorgeous outfits and all the props she would fit in 😊 Thankfully we have props to suit most babies up until about 4 months.
After these photos we did a lovely shoot with mummy and Daddy and each with just Zuri. She was an absolute star from start to finish and a joy to photograph.
If you had a lockdown baby thats a littler older than we usually photograph then give us a call on 02380 767084
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.
