Newborn Portrait Sessions
My newborn portrait sessions are held during the week at my home studio in Kaiapoi, North Canterbury.
The sessions are designed for babies around 5-14 days old which is when they are still sleepy and super curly. I adore their tiny flakey feet, button noses, perfect lips and little hairy shoulders! In saying that, I don't mind how old your baby is as I can adjust the session to suit any age. Please don't think you have missed out on photos if your baby is older. Older newborns are a joy to photograph .. I love their inquisitive little faces and big gummy smiles! I allow around 2 hours - sometimes a smidge more or less depending on how your baby is feeling on the day. There is always plenty of time for a top up feed or two, cuddles and of course coffee ;)
My newborn sessions are perfect for those parents who are after simple classic portraits of their new addition in a relaxed and comfortable environment. I don't use props - I prefer the focus to be on the baby without the use of props. I will run through some simple poses on my beanbag and you can choose from my gorgeous selection of little hats, wraps and tie backs to compliment the photos.
I am an experienced newborn photographer and baby safety is extremely important to me. A photographer for 6 years, I have spent many hours studying and perfecting my newborn photography. I am also an NZIPP accredited photographer which means my work has reached a professional standard within our industry. It is a pleasure to photograph newborn babies - I love being able to tell such an important and special story for parents.

Newborn Lifestyle Session
I also offer newborn lifestyle sessions which means I travel to you!
Phew ... I hear you say..... It can feel super overwhelming at the thought of leaving the house with a newborn baby and perhaps a toddler or two in tow. I know I certainly felt that way!
Lifestyle sessions are held in your own home from birth until around 12 weeks of age - they are suited to those families who would love to capture their new baby in their own home with all their familiar things around them. There is no posing with a lifestyle session, I simply turn up to your home with my camera and photograph your new addition with parents and siblings in and around your home. I tend to use the master bedroom, lounge / living room and the nursery if this has been set up. The family dog is more than welcome to join in too - they bring such a lovely vibe to a newborn session! There is no need to spring clean before I arrive - what I suggest you do is choose a room or two that has good natural light to photograph in, clear anything out of the way you don't wish to be in the photos ... a vase of fresh flowers is a nice touch, leave photos / art on the walls and a simple plain coloured duvet cover for the bed keeps the focus on the baby. Easy :)
I allow 60-90 minutes for a lifestyle session and you are more than welcome to invite the grandparents for a few photos too.
