Don’t worry if you are nervous or worried about your small children not behaving or being unhappy for the pictures. I am used to distracting and making silly noisy for children, experienced with photography in nurseries and schools I have picked up tricks and tips to get their eye contact and put them at ease. I know children need time and space to feel relaxed so please do not worry about your toddler screaming or your baby suddenly falling asleep.
I aim to provide a portrait session which is relaxed, comfortable and fun. My studio is open from 10am – 10pm to allow for bookings after work.

A few shots from a recent portrait shoot at the studio with three at first slightly nervous and reluctant men and one shy little toddler. Once they realised I was an approachable human who wasn’t going to give them a hard time they soon relaxed and got into the groove.  When baby brother was looking like he wanted to cry I encouraged one of them to clonk me over the head with a soft toy whist I took pics.  He left laughing saying “Twitter status,  just finished knocking a photographer over the head with a soft toy” …..Well it works!

The ideal time to take new born baby pics is within the first week after about day eight they usually uncurl there bodies more and tend not to sleep as much. If you are looking to have pictures taken of your new born make sure you plan and book your new born photography session well in advance.

Thanks for stopping by.

When you see your images it’s always worth messing about with different shapes like, slicing the picture or having the picture as a square for a change.
