At Bumblebee Photography, our newborn sessions offer an intimate and serene environment, lasting up to three hours in our calming studio. We provide everything you need to relax and enjoy this precious moment, including complimentary drinks and snacks.
While you unwind, I’ll capture your little one’s solo shots, as well as beautiful family moments. Your presence will be naturally integrated into the photos and film, creating sweet memories to cherish.
Our studio is equipped with a lovely selection of outfits, props, and soft blankets. Just bring along something white, cream, or light, or choose a dress or top from our studio wardrobe for a seamless look.
Experience the love and tranquility of a shoot designed to celebrate your growing family in the most beautiful way.
The photo session can take up to 2-3 hours in my studio or comfort of your home. I always put a lot of time and effort into planning and making the session fit your specific needs and schedules. For a booking, please send me an email at the Contact page.
I put a lot of time and effort into making both you and your newborn baby feel cool, calm and collected. Safety is also a major priority.
The focus will be you and your family but if you choose to have the shoot in the comfort of your home I will need you to do a little tidying up in the selected rooms for the photography. Therefore, please remove all your bits and bobs to ensure that everywhere is neat so that the focus is on the baby and family. Of course, if there is something left behind we can move it or adjust it at the time of the session.

What time is best for a session
A newborn photo session is best to be done within 3 weeks of your little precious baby’s life, because they will often be soundly asleep and still have that cherubic newborn look. It will also make the session quicker if they are younger and therefore easier to manage; that is debatable!!!.
What should I think of
We love your favourite toys and props.
If your newborn or child has got a teddy, doll or a special blanket that means a lot to you, please bring it out and we will use it to make your photos more unique and personal. If you have any toys that are in wood and not too deep a colour, that would be perfect to complement the photograph to bring out for a play. If your children have their favourite teddies or toys feel free to bring them out to play with and the photographs will be filled with meaning.
Clothing
I always recommend light clothing with no marks, logos or busy patterns. Why take away from your wonderful faces? Though it is important that colour tones go together, they don’t have to be an exact match. Please keep it simple; light colours and clothing without a lot of prints. For the baby, I recommend, white, light grey, pale colours. For you as a parent, I would recommend light colours without logos or marks and busy patterns. Simplicity and naturalness are the order of the day. In any case, your wardrobe is nearby so we can always have a look through and make it perfect. I love the photos when they capture a relaxed morning in bed with your precious little newborn baby next to you. So if you have a nice night gown or pyjamas, please feel free to bring that out. A cup of tea nearby would not be amiss!
