My most popular package by far is the simple newborn session. These are beautiful simple shots featuring your baby as the star. There are no busy props, or heavy patterns to compete with baby, just images that capture your baby as is, whether they may be sleeping, awake, posed, or unposed.

During these sessions, I do like to try and get a mix of some natural unposed and posed sleeping shots for your gallery. I usually start off with my white backdrop and loose cotton wrap on the posing bed.  From here I can get a feel for what baby may or may not let me do. Some babies have no problem being handled at all, while some are quite touchy and will wake or cry at the slightest touch.

This gorgeous little newborn boy quite enjoyed his session. His big Sister, not quite so much :). But we were able to get a decent amount of images with Miss 2 before she had enough. Dad then took her out to the park for a little bit while we finished off baby’s solo shots. After a little time away from the studio she was ready to get in the last few shots before the session ended. Its always that little bit more challenging with the 2 to 3-year-old siblings, but they are a lot of fun to have around whether they love me or not 🙂

This beautiful young familys newborn session was done at my studio in Ellenbrook, Perth, Western Australia

This 7 week old baby boy was so good to me. He slept almost his entire session! He allowed me to do so many setups giving his Mum and dad plenty of variety in his newborn session. These older newborns are so much fun, sleeping or not, we can usually get some genuine smiles and eye contact, just like this little guy. His parents said at the beginning of the session that during the last week, he had begun to have much more awake time during the day, so I wasn’t counting on many sleep poses at all, but here he was, so sleepy and so cooperative :).

This is also the first time in a long time I’ve incorporated red into a session. Reds and browns and reds and black look gorgeous together.

3.5 Weeks Old Newborn Boy: Perth Newborn Photographer

While babies under 2 weeks old are generally considered the optimum time to have newborn photos done, there’s no reason to think you have missed the opportunity if your baby is beyond that age. This little guy at just 3.5 weeks old, had the strongest kicky legs ever! He busted through my tight wrap within seconds. Such a superman! He did resist sleep when he first arrived, but after a bottle and cuddle from Mum, he settled quickly once he got put into my ever so comfortable baby posie prop. The entire session from start to finish lasted a little under 2 hours, which is typical for a simple session like this.

Here are a few of my favourite samples from my popular Simple session. This session is called Simple because I like to use minimal props where the focus will always be on the baby and family. Even the props I do use besides the beanbag (bowls, posie, and baskets) are still kept to a minimum which results in a clean, fresh, simple, modern style. My posing is all baby-led, which means I let them decide which positions they are the most comfortable in and gently pose them so they are disturbed as little as possible. I love to look at baby images where the baby looks comfortable and cosy.

Here is a small sample of my favourite images from one of my Simple newborn sessions with an exceptionally handsome and very happy baby boy taken in my home studio in Ellenbrook. I do love the simplicity of these types of images, although I am slowly trying to add a bit of colour and more props to add onto this simple package to give parents the option to add in a prop photo or two in their sessions. 

My style, however, will still always remain mainly baby focused. I do appreciate props but I still want your galleries to be filled with timeless images of your precious baby that won’t become outdated in years to come.

I love encouraging parents to bring baby in a plain onesie in whites, creams, ivories or pastels to start the session off in a few natural unposed images. It’s a fantastic opportunity to get a few extra images of baby in their own outfit.

How sweet is little Miss at just 8 days old. She was just perfect in every way with the most beautiful thick dark hair! She managed to give me sleepy shots and awake shots which is what I like to aim for in a newborn session. Her big brother wasn’t keen at all to be photographed with her so I had to perform a bit of photography magic and composite the two of them into one image. There was no way he was going to get a photo taken with his new little sister so we had to make it happen after the photo session 🙂

Absolutely gorgeous little 10 week old in my Ellenbrook home studio. She was not much bigger than a newborn due to a rather earlier than expected arrival, but she did a fabulous  job just being her and allowing me to pose her in all my usual newborn poses 🙂

At just only 8 days old, this little fellow was utterly perfect. We managed to get a nice range of sleeping shots because he was just so chilled and relaxed. As the session was near the end, I realised that we had not had any baby awake shots, so thought we would try for some. This little cutie was a little hard to wake up, he was so sleepy, but after a bit of coaxing from Mum and Dad, we were able to convince baby to open his eyes for us, resulting in a few last minute natural style images at the end, including him in his going home clothes.
