For those families wondering what a session with me looks and feels like, and wondering what is required of you I though I would just describe my sessions in a little bit more detail here. I am sometimes referred to as a lifestyle/documentary photographer. My approach is a hybrid of a little bit of instruction and then just sitting back as the chaos unfolds! The crazier the better..lol.
Below is a bit more info about the specific types of sessions and what to expect.
Newborn Sessions
Newborn sessions are an incredibly special time and very fleeting, BUT because my style is unposed and in-home they are very different to your traditional staged newborn photos (which are gorgeous and important in their own way) My sessions are in-home and I not only capture the beautiful little squishy baby details. I also capture a moment in time. The fleeting moments that is life with a newborn, sleep deprived and completely in love!
I love capturing moments just cuddling on the couch or in bed (YES! I have done a session at 8am in the morning whilst everyone was still in PJ's and just having some morning cuddles). My absolute favourite is capturing mum and dad giving their baby a bath, I have even captured a beautiful little cherub's very FIRST bath!
I love the tiny tiny little details of a Newborn baby, but my baby sessions can be booked at any time, because I am not posing your baby, they will not need to be extremely new! So you have a bit of time to settle into new life before you have your session, BUT this by no means requires you to have a perfectly presented house! The best sessions are chaotic and busy and beautiful. Some families are unsure whether they should book a session when their baby is very fresh to capture those gorgeous tiny details or wait a while until your babies personality starts shining through and you can capture some smiles and baby rolls!! I have options for 2-3 sessions documenting your babies first year, so please contact me for these options, they can even include babies first birthday!
Family sessions Sessions
My family sessions are the BEST! And I absolutely encourage you to make a day of it, do something fun, plan a day out or a day in! Do some cooking crafting, tickle fights, board games, anything your know your family will enjoy, the more there is going on the better. As with my newborn sessions, I really love capturing the essence of a family, the thing that makes them uniquely them. So if you want a location session pick something that is meaningful to you, or have a session in home and we can even take a walk to your favourite park of coffee shop.
