Newborn sessions are hands down my favourite sessions, for many, many reasons. I could easily photograph them every day.
I love the families I get to meet. I love the cuddles. I love the challenge they present (no- babies don’t just sleep all the time lol).
Each session I have a rough workflow I go through. I photograph the family and sibling photos first while bubs is wrapped. This gives baby time to fall alseep naturally and hopefully into a deep sleep, so we can move to the bean bag and get some images. It also then lets everyone relax while I focus on your baby.
However workflow or not – each session is always different! Babies have their own schedules so sometimes we change things up to keep your baby happy! I don’t rush my sessions. If your baby needs a top up- we stop and feed. If your baby wakes up and no longer wants to be undressed, we go back to wrapped images.
I have a favourite bowl I think I can safely say I use in every session 😛
Here is a few photos from when Hayley and Roger brought in Harrison in for his newborn session back in April.
