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.

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

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.

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.
