I typically photograph newborn babies between 5 and 14 days after birth, when they are still sleepy and curly from the womb. Newborn babies change incredibly quickly and you will be amazed to see how much they have grown when you come back for your viewing session. Booking is essential and I recommend you contact me early in your second trimester to secure your session. All of my newborn sessions take place in the studio. You will have access to my full range of props and newborn baby clothing. This includes a large range of beautiful vintage style knitwear, bonnets and wraps as well as lovely headbands and halos. Many of my props are sourced internationally, but I also love to buy local and support our talented New Zealand artisans. ​Grandparents are welcome to join us and my images of proud grandparents cuddling their newborn baby are always treasured. ​I have been fully trained in the safe handling of newborn babies as well as the technical aspects of newborn posing. This is something you must insist on when choosing your photographer, as newborn posing should not be undertaken without the right training, safety practices and equipment.
