Aryan came in for his newborn photography session and did so well, he slept so well and we also managed to get a few images with open eyes. We had a good chat and his mum was super helpful and really enjoyed the session. Go down and look and see that he even gave us a smile. Adore a newborn smile, it really makes my day so much better.

With my light studio, soft lighting and white noise to keep the calmness in the room. Like I always say try to come with calm emotions and leave the stress and nerves at the door. If you keep calm your baby will be calm and more likely to sleep better.

The best is If your little one is asleep when arriving, I will then slowly place your bundle on my big soft bean bag and slowly undress him/her and hopefully your little star keeps sleeping so I slowly can star capturing straight away. With simple posing and wraps and outfits I will gently move your little bundle.
I will ask for your hand to join in a few times and soon have you lean in and give your little snuggle a kiss and cuddle. I will make sure to capture the tiny details such as tiny toes and lips.

After bean bag and a few cuddles with mummy and daddy it’s time for a basket or two, it will be simple set up but beautiful. I will ask you to sit close to me as safety. Because safety goes first in my studio.

We will finish off with a few photos with you and your bundle in your arms.

Oh, yes I almost forgot to mention if this isn't your first one and your older one/ones wants to join then we will start the session on with sibling photos as it’s good to have that done while they are more interested and also to take away any jealousy or hard feelings. As this little bundle is a new family member and it can be hard to handle for some little siblings. I will make it playful and easy.

Is it worth booking a newborn photo session?:

Booking a newborn photography session can be a wonderful way to capture special memories of your baby's early days. Professional photographers can often create beautiful, high-quality images that you'll cherish for years to come. However, it's important to consider your budget and priorities before making a decision. Some parents choose to take their own photos or wait until their baby is a bit older to have professional pictures taken. Ultimately, the choice is up to you and what you feel is best for your family.

An amazing home newborn photography session. If you live near by and have good space with natural light, yes I can come to you. I will bring as much props with me as I can and will use what you have in your home as well. Such as your sofa or bed, I might need to move a few things around to make it better but I will move it all back again before I leave.

This session was done in the comfort of their home, they had a big and low window in one of their rooms, which was perfect. I placed my bean bag close to the window to get that natural light. For the family photos I used their sofa which was facing amazing big windows with loads of natural light, which helped a lot. It was a really good and quick session. If you book a home session I will be asking you to snap a few photos of the rooms that you think would be the best. That way I can plan out what to bring and what not to bring.

What do you think of these cute photos? Would you want something similar? If so send me a message, head over to their contact page and we will speak soon.
Lots of love

Little little Diana came in with her two parents, she was a tiny baby of 2.4 kg. The soft skin and the newborn smell can take my breath away, one of my favourite parts with newborn session holding them and smelling them. They are so perfect and can really stop the time for a moment. That’s why it’s important to capture that moment so when you look at your wall frame or print you can go back in time and remember those beautiful moment and those tiny feet, legs and feel the smell coming back. Oh, if you wonder yes I do have moments of wishing for more kids of my own, but I am very happy with my two I have.

We kept the shoot simple and timeless with the white and simple posing and styling. It was a very calm session and she did so well, I am very proud of Diana.

We had a wonderful session even if we had to have a few little cuddles and took 4 hours, it was a pleasure and lots of fun. A newborn session can take 2-4 hours and that’s normal, there is always time for a feed and a cuddle to keep your baby happy and calm.

It’s a calm session in my home studio with snacks and drink to keep us happy. More photos from other clients are coming soon. xx

Shéa came in with his wonderful parents for a newborn photography session. He was already a little older than what we recommend but he did well. We managed to capture a few very wonderful photos.

They wanted a natural and light look, with white. I love the simple white backdrops with babies and families. It just keeps the focus on them and not everything else. What colours would you go for?

Shéa slept and was also awake for a few images, he is a really cute baby and I hope to see him again in the future.

Newborn sessions are now getting booked up and my slots are running out, if you're looking for a newborn session don't hesitate to contact me and book in your due date. I hope to hear from you soon. x

Super cute little Imaan, who did so well during the shoot. We managed to capture some very special images that his parents will adore forever and ever, which is my goal. The beauty of images and it’s memories and they are worth so much for us. Make sure to keep them safe and don’t let them get dusty on only a USB stick make sure to buy a wall frame and hang them up in your home to see everyday. It will make it so much more powerful.

We went for a simple look of white and solid blues, that would go well in their home and to keep the focus on Imaan. I am very happy with how they turned out. He had the most gorgeous hair and was for the most part very relaxed. I love the simplicity in simple colours. We didn’t use that many props this session which is fine, there is no need to use loads of props, even if I love all my props.

Let me hear what you think and if you are due soon get in contact and we can plan your perfect photo session. Love Veronica x

My last newborn session before the second lock down goes ahead and it’s so sad but I have to follow the rules and my studio is closing on Thursday for 4 weeks and I really hope that I will be able to open after that and have more newborns coming in again, I can’t wait. Enjoy this little sneak peek image I hope you like it as much as I do.

TO PREPARE A POSTPARTUM SURVIVAL KIT!!!

I ran out of everything fast (what the hospital provided at least) and had to try telling my husband (while he was going to every store in the area) what Happy Nunny Healing Pads  (because these were MUST HAVES). All that frustration while in pain and exhausted to my soul!

I advice you TO NOT skip out on a Postpartum Care Kit. It’s not that hard to put together either. I have put together an Amazon List  with items recommended by the hospital.

You will also run out of those guazy, ugly as heck but amazing disposable underwear the hospital gives you, or they may give you none if you are unlucky. Save yourself the trouble and buy your own postpartum maternity (post-surgical) disposable underwear just like the hospital has.

The hospital also gives you this cheapo little bottle to squirt warm water down there every single time you go to the bathroom called a peri bottle with a nozzle specifically designed to be held upside down, giving you much more control with each use.

Also, the hospital provided Happy Nunny Healing Pads to place directly on the maxi pad for relief. They are little round (3″) pads with witch hazel and I cannot tell you how much they relieved the burning and itching, so good and make it just a little better.

When you leave the hospital, chances are you will receive Pain Relieving Spray and you will be thankful so thankful.. The nurse told me, “Never forget to use this each and every time you go to the bathroom.” The problem is, that’s a lot of spraying so we had to go out and find two additional cans. Save yourself the hassle and have it ready beforehand! I can’t stress this enough. Another similar spray gaining momentum is Earth Mama Herbal Perineal Spray. It’s a more natural product and I’ve heard raving reviews.

But he most important thing is to Rest! I will say it again yes rest because it is SO important. Take care of yourself. It’s okay if the laundry doesn’t get done and the house is a mess, it’s fine you just had a baby. Let yourself watch Netflix. Make yourself take naps (even if naps aren’t your thing). This is your healing and recovery time. Make it count as much as you can and please ask for help.

I hope this was a little helpful.

It is a really nice being back in the studio full-time again. I have been waiting a bit longer then some other photographers. It’s a great feeling to be able to create these stunning images for the parents and for their future to adore. I love this image, she is so cute and has so much hair. I hope you love this sneak peek as much as I do. The remaining images will come shortly for you.

The perfect picture taken at the perfect moment, she smiled :) I don’t think you understand how happy both me and the parents where when I managed to capture it. Wow moment, such a happy moment, perfect Newborn photography session. She did so good and I am so honoured to be the one capturing this little moment.

This picture is a image that will be a favourite for a long time. Are you due soon and want to make sure to try to capture a moment like this?! Don’t hesitate to give me a shout and see if we are a good match to make these happen.

I love the purple with the grey colour, it looks so good with her skin tone. It’s so important to choose colours based on the little once skir tone and hair colour to make it pop and give it some contrast. I love the natural colours and will always start off with more earthy props and looks but I love to finish of with something more bold and colourful. The importance in choosing colour and props is also to know how your home looks like and colour paletts. If you want to frame it up and hang it up what colours would work and suit your home. So there is a lot of preplanning to get the images perfect for you and your family.

She is just to cute, I can’t handle it. I could have had her in my studio all day, she slept so good and where a perfect little model. Her parents where so happy and we managed to have some good moments with small talk and laugh a lot.

Happy New Year from Bumblebee Photography to you and your family!

Thank you for this year and all the support and all new and old clients coming to me and trusting and wanting my service. I am so grateful for all the support and love and I so love my work and can’t wait to next year and be able to grow more and get bigger. After a year with a move of country and rebranding the business I am now more then ready to make it grow and make memories for you and your family.

The little cute baby boy below is Louie a little boy who came with his parents to my studio for a newborn session they got as a gift. I love when friends and family books a session as a gift, it’s such a great gift and so appreciated. Louie is the first for his parents and are so loved and he was a little surprise for him. He did so well during the session and we got some magical images for them to love forever and share with their friends and family. I always recommend to order wall frames and get the images up on your walls and not only stuck on a usb stick or your Facebook.
The feeling of framing them up on your wall and see them daily and adore them daily is priceless. It makes such a difference and even for your child growing up seeing these lovely images it’s so nice. I am sure that there will be questions regarding the images such as is that me? How old was I? Where did you do this? Oh I was so cute?

Framing the images up is so important in my opinion.

Happy New Year to you and your loved once.

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Let me share a few images from a newborn session. His mother came in with him for a newborn session in my studio. We had a great time and the rest of the family came closer to the end of the session to wrap up with some sibling and family photos. Everyone did so well and was very patience. I had the pleasure to getting to capture all their children newborn photos and I am so happy about it and you can see that they so look alike which is so much fun.

A newborn session is such a special session, it’s so much love and happiness and of course tired parents, but that’s fine too. Everyone did so good and all I can do is wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Here we go better late than never, here are the best photos from our session with Kassius. One of the cutest little boys. We did a home session in the comfort of his home. We set it up very simple with help of his sofa instead of a bean bag and with a breastfeeding pillow and the blankets that I had with me. I do sometimes us what you have and sometime I do bring the bean bag and stand and all that. It all depends on how much space you got in your home. Kassius did so good and slept so nicely, made my work very easy and fun.

We will together plan it our so I don’t bring to much or leaving something that you would like me to bring. I got a lot of props to choose from. We will make sure to make it perfect for you and your little one. I got my studio in West London in Greenford with very easy access with bus, there is parking on the street. My studio is a home studio so its in a very homely feel with good natural lighting and space. There is space and toys to play with for siblings if they come along. I will always offer some drinks and something to snack on, both healthy and unhealthy. If you are allergic to anything please let me know and I will make sure we keep that far away.

I am here to give you and your family not just photos also an experience, a few hours of joy and happiness. If you like to book just go to the contact page and write to me. x

Todays model was a cute little two weeks old Kassius. Oh I can really say that I feel in love this little baby boy did so good. He didn’t even poo on my blankets and he slept so nicely. Of course he made a little noises and snored for us as well. His beautiful mum was so calm and nice which helped a lot. One of the worst things that can happen is that a parent is so nervous or stressed so the baby can feel it and make them unsettled. So please always stay calm. Kassius mum Nathalie did so well and I can’t be more thankful for that.

We had a wonderful time at the comfort of her home, where I seted up in her living room with a few things and blankets in different colours to chose from. It was a really nice time and some good chatting. Thank you Kassius for being a good little baby model. The rest will come in a few days, I got to give the images some love. x
