Darcie's Newborn Photo Shoot | Hemel Hempstead

I first met the lovely Montgomery family back in 2015 when they were expecting their first son, George.  We've done Maternity, Newborn, Christmas, 6 month & 1 year shoots together and it's been really great getting to know them and watching little George grow up. 

When they got in touch to let me know they were expecting baby number 2 I was very excited!  We discussed everything they wanted from this next newborn shoot and counted down the days till her arrival.

Eliana's Newborn Photo Shoot | Hemel Hempstead

Eliana came for her newborn photo shoot when she was 7 days old.

Her mummy knew she was having a c-section so we were actually able to book her shoot in on a certain day and keep it there, which doesn't happen very often when you're working with unpredictable newborns!

With a full tummy and toasty warm room, my run of perfectly sleepy babies continued as she slept from beginning to end without any fuss.

Newborn Photography | Hemel Hempstead | Kellen

I was looking through old primary school books recently and found one saying
'Mathew Miller is my boyfriend'

I was about 7 at the time, while he was 11 and best friends with my brother. 
Alas it wasn't meant to be and he is now happily engaged and has just welcomed his second son, Kellen, into the world.

Newborn Photo Shoot | Izzy - 2 1/2 days old

Toby & Jake live with their mum and dad a few doors down from our house.  They love saying hello to Jess the dog, showing me whatever new toy they have or just telling me something random about their day. 

For the majority of 2017, the big news was that they were about to become big brothers.  And they were excited!

Sebastian's Newborn Photo Shoot | Watford

Sebastian's mum got in touch when he was 6 days old for a last minute Newborn Photo Shoot.  I booked him in as quickly as I could and ended up taking his photos when he was just 14 days old.

The ideal time for a newborn to be photographed is between 5 & 10 days but I do offer posed photo shoots to babies up to three weeks.  I might not get as many sleepy posed photos at 3 weeks but it all depends on the baby - some still sleep like a dream!

Noah's Newborn Photo Shoot | St Albans

When Noah and his family arrived, we started with some simple parent photos.
You do not have to hold a naked baby if you're not interested in playing 'pee roulette'.  Instead we can use a nice neutral blanket (or colourful, it's your choice!) and wrap your little one up nice and snug.

Thank you SO MUCH to all the lovely families that have put their faith in me to capture images of their bumps, newborns and babies over the last year.  I've met some amazing people, some of which have become good friends and I can't wait to continue photographing your families into the future.

Rhea's Sleepy Newborn Photo Shoot | Hemel Hempstead

Rhea's family first got in touch when she was 2 weeks old.

As newborn shoots usually take place in a babies first 5 - 10 days, I booked them in nice and quickly so we could capture all those tiny details before she grew too much. 
There was no need to worry about her being more alert though - she was the perfect sleepy baby for the majority of her photo shoot!

I have people travel to me from all over Herts, Beds & Bucks with their newborns, but when Rhea's dad got in touch, I realised they only lived a few streets away - nice and easy!

Newborn Photography: Studio vs. In Your Home

When you first find out you're pregnant it feels like you have all the time in the world.  You're careful not to start buying things too early (you know, apart from that little outfit that you just couldn't leave behind) and you wait longingly for each scan to see that little face one more time and the reassurance that everything is a-ok.

A Smiley 2 Month Old Photo Shoot | Hemel Hempstead | Emily

Emily is one of the smiliest 2 month olds I have ever photographed!

All I had to do was speak to her and she'd break out into the most gorgeous smile.  Her face was full of expression the entire photo shoot.

The Baby & Newborn Photography Association - Who they are and why I joined

As a newborn and baby photographer, I have to take the safety of my little clients very seriously.  It might surprise you to know that the newborn photography industry is completely unregulated.  Photographers like me, who take safety seriously, have to take it upon ourselves to be trained and educated on how to ensure the beautiful images we create, are done safely.

Newborn Photo Shoot | St Albans

The best part of my job is getting to watch families grow and photographing their journey.  I feel privileged to be chosen to capture these little moments of their lives for them to treasure. 

I first met this little family back in 2015 when they had their first son Casper. 
I travelled to their house in St. Albans for their session where little Casper played hard ball and did not want to settle.  He wasn't having the happiest of days so in the end I decided it would be best if I went away and tried again another day. 
In the end his parents got a lovely gallery of images to choose from of both awake and sleepy images.
