NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY IN ABERDEEN - BABY E

Aberdeen has been experiencing a baby boom these past few months, and I have had an amazing time meeting so many gorgeous new families and getting to spend some time photographing them in their homes! Theanna and David were referred to me by a mutual photographer friend for their newborn session, and I caught up with them a few weeks after baby Ellie made her early arrival in to the world. Both sets of grandparents had flown over the Atlantic to meet her, and it was extra special to be able to capture some moments with them as well. Here's just a little sneak peek from their gallery - 

This was pretty much Ellie's first thought of me - B O R I N G! 

If you are looking for a newborn photographer in Aberdeen or Aberdeenshire, I'd love to hear from you. My sessions are relaxed, baby led and very natural - I capture you and your family, just as you are. Having worked with hundreds of families, your baby is in safe hands - find out more information here or email me here

NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY AT HOME, ABERDEEN

One of the best parts about an at home newborn session is easily being able to incorporate the whole family in to the shoot, without any stress or pressure, especially on the younger members of the clan! I had a lovely morning spent with the Fotheringhams in the west end of Aberdeen, celebrating the arrival of their beautiful new daughter, who was being doted on by her big proud sister. Here's just a few images from their session (may take a moment to load - give it a second if they don't appear immediately)

Newborn Photographer in Aberdeen - 2017 Highlights

2017 was an absolute blast for me! Weddings, babies, and families galore - I have enjoyed photographing each and every one, and feel really honoured that you all trusted me with your most special moments. Looking back over my images from last year has been a total rollercoaster of emotions - laughter, tears and ALL.THE.FEELS. If you aren't pregnant and are in any way broody, you maybe shouldn't watch this video - there is an abundance of squishy goodness within. 

I'm taking bookings for relaxed baby led newborn sessions at home in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire from now right through to July due dates. If you'd like to find out a little bit more, you can pop me an email and we can chat about your session!

Newborn Photographer in Aberdeen - Baby Rose

Just before Christmas, I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful new family, after baby Rose had made her appearance in to the world! I am absolutely loving working with new parents for these at home newborn sessions - they are so relaxed with lots of cuddles, milk and more cuddles....and time even to take pictures of the fur babies too! 

Here's a selection of images from the time we spent together - if you are looking for a newborn photographer in Aberdeen/Aberdeenshire, and want to discuss your bespoke lifestyle newborn session, I'd love to chat more. Pop me an email here

Newborn baby Photography aberdeen and aberdeenshire - in the comfort of your own home

Becoming a parent for the first time, or welcoming a new baby in to your family is a wonderfully exciting time. However, it can be overwhelming, and you may feel like you will never leave the house on time again! After the birth of my second baby last year, I decided to rethink my newborn photography sessions, and what I was able to offer parents. Knowing how I felt in the early days with both my children, I wanted to make having my newborn photography session as enjoyable, and stress free, as possible. 

A few people have asked me 'what happens during an at home newborn session?' and what it actually entails, so I thought I'd write a blog post to give you a deeper insight in to why it would be right for you and your family. 

You can book your newborn photography session with me at any point in your pregnancy. To avoid disappointment, I do advise to book earlier rather than later.  But because I photograph newborns up to 8 weeks old, it give us a little leeway if you book nearer the end of your pregnancy, or even after baby is born. We can book you in via email, or if you'd like to talk over what you want from your newborn session, then we can chat on the phone or in person, and I'll answer any questions you may have! 

Rather than you having to come to me, I come to your home.  This means you don't have to worry about getting ready, trying to work out feeds, putting baby in the car, or even getting dressed! I cover Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire mostly, but can travel further afield by arrangement. All you need to do is pop me an email or text once baby has been born and you're settled at home, and from there we organise a date for your session. 

On the actual day of your newborn session, I'll ask you to make sure your house is cosy (just so baby is warm and comfortable for any undressed shots) but I don't need you to prepare much for my arrival. I aim to capture you getting to know your new baby - those moments that are so often missed and never committed to an image because they are just normal, everyday occurrences. These moments can be so beautiful, and truly show the connection between you all as a family, and I'll be there to photograph them as they happen.

My style is very natural and relaxed, and newborn sessions are entirely led by your baby - I listen to what they need and we go at their speed. Having worked with hundreds of families, I have lots of experience with newborns and know that they are most definitely in charge!   Sessions usually last around 2 to 2.5 hours, so there is lots of time for cuddling, milk and more cuddling throughout - there is absolutely no pressure on you or your baby at any point. 

It can be a bit of a thought stepping in front of the camera, but I encourage all parents to get in the picture - it's a time you don't want to forget. Not only will you look back and be glad you did, but your children will cherish the images of you with them as newborns in the years to come. 

I tailor your session uniquely to your family, so no two newborn sessions are ever the same. It's a great way to escape the onslaught of new baby visitors, by taking a quiet day with your family to bond, cuddle, chat over tea and biscuits, and enjoy creating some special memories together. 

If this is your second, third or more baby, then I totally understand what it can be like dealing with a new baby and older siblings. They don't have to pose for me, and they can pop in and out as they feel able, meaning they can stay happy and relaxed (and so can you!). I often find that they like to 'help' me, and that's ok too! 

If this sounds good to you, I'd love to tell you more! Drop me a line with your due date and location, and I'll reply within 48 hours, with an online booking form and answer any questions you may have. 

Newborn Photographer Aberdeen - Baby Rory

Baby Rory is now 8 weeks old, but it only seem like a moment ago that I travelled out to his parents home in Banchory for his newborn photography session. I love going to see new babies and parents in their homes - where they are most comfortable - and spending a couple of hours with them, often with a cup of tea or two thrown in too! 

Here is just a small selection of Rory's images - isn't he just the most handsome wee soul?
