Earlier this week we got to meet the adorable Jasleen as well as her big brother Jasan who both live very close to us in Bassett.
Jasleen was 6 weeks old and although thats way older than we would normally suggest, I think lockdown has taught us to be more flexible with babies ages and Jasleen’s shoot just proves that point.
I spoke to Mum Mandy about outfits and props to get an idea of what she loved, we opened for a couple of our newborn outfits and a lovely dress that she came with. Same with Jasan, he had a lovely selection that we made the most of.
Our Newborn photography is constantly as new props arrive and we are about to introduce our themed newborn shoots here at our Southampton newborn studio so today was the perfect time to try a few out. More about the themed options in a blog in a week or so time tho.
So Jasleen was almost sleepy when she arrived so it never took much to get her settled and off we went. We started with her on her own then brought 4 year old Jasan into most photos. He was a lovely little boy and took direction very well so it was much easier ti include him more without upsetting Jasleen.
We then tried a few of our themed shots out, Disney and paddington and Peter Rabbit, neither finished just yet but from today they will be so more soon.
Afterwards another new basket showing off all the muted greys and it suited her beautifully.
We finished our shoot with a few of Jasan 💙 ❤️
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.
What if we never booked a newborn shoot, is it too late to book now?
In a word, No 😀 we keep at least 2 days a week spare for newborns so if you have been let down or just plain forgot to book then give us a call on 02380 767084 or message me below for a very quick response.

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.
