They are tender, unique and charming: these unique first days in the life of a newborn only last a month or so before they really start to grow up and change. That is why I love photographing a newborn, as it is something unique, fragile and beautiful!
Newborn photography in particular documents the most short-lived moments in a person’s life, the first days after birth. These days fly by and before you know it they are gone. With the delicate newborn photographs, I capture the magic of those first days when the newborn baby begins to discover the world so that the parents can retain these moments forever.
Normally, the newborn sessions take around three hours because it is important that the baby sleeps and is relaxed.
I like to start the photoshoot with some time in which the baby is fed, so that the baby is fully relaxed or even fall asleep. The baby will be placed in different ‘decors’. Often the little ones just sleep on, but if they wake up, we take beautiful pictures with their eyes open or take the time to get the little ones back to sleep. To conclude the photoshoot, we can also make a number of family portraits with the parents and / or brothers and sisters.
I use different backgrounds, baskets, soft blankets, knitted hats, wooden bowls, hair bands and more accessories. You can choose the colors and accessories that you like and you can also bring your own clothing, a cuddle or blanket that we can use during the shoot.
The pictures are large enough to make, for example, a beautiful canvas or a photo on wood. Other digital photo files can be ordered.
Tip: book the photoshoot during your pregnancy and use the newborn photos on the birth announcement card! If you want to give a newborn photoshoot as a gift (nice gift tip for a baby shower!), I have special newborn gift vouchers for this. This way you have a nice package to hand over!
