Maternity photography is a beautiful time to capture. Your beautiful bump grows quickly and it is nice to compare from week to week. Some maternity photography sessions are individual which are done between 30-36 weeks and some can be a maternity photography timeline.
Capturing the first moments of your precious little baby’s life are so important. Equally important is for you to have a photo with your little bundle. You may not feel up to it and think that you are not ready for a photo but I guarantee you will regret not creating this permanent memory. You can be posed in ways that will make you look your best.
Although it may look like a professional newborn photographer only works during your newborn photography session time, there is actually a lot more worth that is done behind the scenes. For starts the studio needs to be set up before you come for your newborn photography session so that we are ready to start as soon as you arrive. This means sorting and getting out newborn photography props you may like to use, preparing backdrops which may need to be ironed and cleaning the studio. All garments are also washed before you arrive to ensure a hygienic environment for you and your baby during the newborn photography session.
It can be a little stressful at the newborn photo session because naturally you want your baby to cooperate to get gorgeous photos. Here are 6 tips to keep your baby happy during the photo session.

In this post I thought it would be great for you to see what newborn photography looks like with me. In newborn photography you need to have patience. Newborns are on their own clock so you need to stop when they need feeding and changing and then cuddle them until they sleep. Capturing newborn photos sometimes need to be quick, depending on how settle the baby is. Sometimes newborn photography might even involve wrapping mum or dad in a backdrop and laying baby in their arms because that is the only way they are settled. You can still create gorgeous newborn photos by doing this. My studio is always warm for newborn photography so you need to wear layers so you don’t get too hot. I also have a change table and tea, coffee and water facilities for your convenience as well as a super comfy couch for those tired mums who want to put their feet up and maybe even go for a snooze. Watch the video below for an insight into how newborn photography works with me.
A maternity photography session is designed to be relaxed and comfortable. Maternity photos provide gorgeous memories for generations to come, documenting and reminding you how beautiful you looked while your baby was growing. If your photographer is anything like me then they will have a range of maternity drapes, signs and ribbons to show off your belly in your maternity photos. However you may feel a little more comfortable in your own clothes.
I was sitting at my desk thinking about what to write for my next blog post. It hit me that perhaps you might like to know a bit about me so I’ve created a bit of a personal project. I’m going to show you my own personal pregnancy timeline. I did this every 4 weeks starting at 16 weeks with the help of my husband and son. I firstly chose a max dress because this type of clothing is firstly super comfortable when you are pregnant and secondly it knew it was going to stretch with my belly as it grew. It’s great to wear the same clothes in all of your pregnancy timeline sessions as it really enhances your gorgeous pregnant belly. My husband was behind the camera and took these photos for me. I left it on a tripod so he literally just had to press the shutter to take the photo.
You’ve just had a baby. You’re exhausted and you really want photos of your precious little baby when they are a newborn. However this task seems overwhelming and stressful and which newborn photographer do you pick? Here are a few tips to ease that stress and pick a photographer that you are not only comfortable with but someone who is professional, caring and has a gorgeous portfolio.
