Little Mason and his family came to me from Berkhamsted recently for his professional newborn pictures.

They asked for neutral and grey colours, a good mixture of black and white and colour photos and they wanted both props and simpler images on blankets.

After starting the photo shoot with pictures with his mum and dad, I wrapped Mason snuggly and we moved onto prop photos.
I adore the two images below. The little bear hat is perfect and he looks so comfortable in both the crate and the bowl.

After props, I moved him onto my posing beanbag. It’s a special surface created specifically for newborn photography, which has a frame around it that helps create these beautiful smooth backgrounds.
And yet again, this is one of my other favourite pictures from his newborn shoot. I’m always so happy when parents say they love grey as much as me!

Continuing to sleep soundly, I did the ‘bed’ pose, which is exactly how it sounds. He’s so nice and relaxed on his back and posed himself beautifully with his arm outstretched. Well done Mason!

With any newborn shoot there’s generally an awake period and this is when Mason had his. He was lovely and content and having a good old wriggle. I think these awake photos are the perfect addition to his gallery of images.

Mason, you really are beautiful and you were an absolute pleasure to photograph. I hope we get to meet again in the future!
