Lily’s first photo shoot

One of our shoots for this week was with 10 day old Lily who was absolutely adorable.  Ben and Amy were undecided about a newborn photo shoot and called me a few days after Lily arrived.  Thankfully we keep a couple days off each week and used one of those. Sue and I are really lucky because if we end up working on a day off we almost always make up for it afterwards so its great to be flexible.

Once Ben and Amy arrived we set about settling Lily which took a little while and at one point Dad was going into a panic. But once again our patience paid off and after a quiet hour she drifted off to sleep.

We had the most amazing shoot with Lily using all of our baskets, she was a tiny 6lb 7oz baby so fitted just about everything.

After an outfit change we took a few shots as a family and a few with mum and then dad.

Perfect little baby and pretty perfect photo shoot too.

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 for a newborn shoot?

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.
