Newborn baby photography, Clapham
I loved doing these newborn and family portraits for this lovely family in London recently. We got lots of lovely solo shots of the baby and then with the three siblings, then some with Mum and Dad, and finally the whole family all together. Newborn sessions take around two hours, and we will always use natural light, in the comfort of your own home.
Newborn sessions usually take place within the first 2 weeks, so that the baby is still fairly sleepy, although that’s not always the case! I actually love capturing newborns while they are wide awake, and I find that they are often quite interested in the camera lens making a clicking noise. I like to photograph a range of their expressions, and also all the little details and things that are particular to newborn babies. The creases, wrinkles, milk spots, and flakey newborn skin are all lovely to capture close up. Above all, I aim to capture how it really feels for the family to have this incredible new addition in their lives, and document these special moments so you can revisit them for many years to come.
If you would like to book a similar session for your family, then get in touch as I’d love to hear from you. If you can, try and book a date approximately 7-10 days after your due date, although these are obviously flexible.
I photograph newborn babies at home in their first few days, covering all areas of London. I have over 10 years of experience as a London family photographer, and I also regularly photograph babies for commercial brands including Totter & Tumble play mats.
