Watch me Grow - from Belly to Baby - 6 Photoshoot Sessions from Maternity to the First Birthday Cake Smash
The first year of a baby’s life is full of so many monumental changes. During the twelve short months your little one will learn how to smile, lough, roll over, sit, eat by themselves, and so much more. As a way to help to help you capture those many changes in your child’s first year we are introducing the watch me grow package From Belly to Baby
Belly to Baby Package includes:
Maternity photography - Up to 10 images;
Newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, Cake smash at one year – 5 (13x18cm) prints from each session &online downloading/sharing gallery;
Cake + Decorations for the “Cake Smash”;
Mini photo album “Watch me grow”
What to expect in the Newborn Session?
A newborn session can time 2-3 hours, as we don’t rush at all and simply follow baby’s lead. We will spend lots of time simply soothing and snuggling your little one so feel free to bring snacks, a book, or take a doze. It is very important to remember that babies cannot perform on demand. Experience has shown that if you start stressing about the baby not settling, the baby will pick up on it, so please come along chill out and relax!
In the time leading up to your session I would ask you to play and interact with your awaken baby as much as possible. We wish the baby to be calm and sleepy during the session and not ready to play. You can also bath your baby as it also helps to calm down.
A baby with a full tummy is a happy sleepy baby. Please be prepared to feed your baby several times during the session. I recommend that if it is possible, you wait until you arrive and feed the baby immediately before the session starts.
The room will be nice and toasty warm as we want baby to be comfortable enough to sleep in the nude. You may want to take “light” summer clothes for yourself as it may feel too warm if it is winter and you come with your outdoors clothes. When taking photos I use a “white noise” as background sound as a way of settling babies as this has proven to be a great comfort for newborns.
Your baby’s safety, wellbeing and comfort are an absolute paramount to me especially because I am a mum myself. When your baby reaches that deep sleep cycle, I will be able to position him into various positions to achieve a maximum cuteness in the photos!
Please note that not all babies are fond of all positions (thus all the photos of different babies are very different) but I promise we will do the best we can!
What to bring to the photoshoot:
For baby: Plenty of milk, extra wipes, soother (very helpful during the session), burp cloths, 2-3 extra blankets.
For parents: Black or white plain tops or shirts and maybe even a spare shirt as almost all parents get peed or pooped on during a session :)
If you are after sibling and family shoots, we will do them first. Most siblings’ attention span last no more than half an hour so I try to do these shoots first before we concentrate on baby alone shoots – when the rest of the family have an potion of leaving sooner.
Best time to book
It is important to contact me while you are still pregnant, as my calendar is filling in fast. Sessions are reserved based on your due dates and will be tweaked once your baby is born. Newborns are best to photograph at 5-10 days of age. I will do my best to accommodate clients who contact me after their baby is born. Family and siblings can also be photographed at the Newborn session.
