Welcome to Newborn Photography! I am a Glasgow based newborn photographer. Newborns are my favourite subjects to photograph. I feel honoured to have each and every opportunity to doument the astonishing new lives. There is nothing more joyful than those photos of a new baby. Those photos are the ones you will always come back to look at along your babies journey. They are the only tangible link to your memory that you will cherish for a life time and probably will be passed done through your family’s generations. If you have any questions about newborn photography get in touch with me 🙂
Meet newborn baby Ruaridh and his 2 year old big brother Fraser. I photographed Ruaridh and his family in my studio in Clydebank. It was a lovely session!! What a blessing these little boys are. Melting!
At the end I would like to say that AGE MATTERS! the age of the babies can sometimes make a difference in what type of poses you are able to position them in and whether they will like it or not. All babies are different, and it’s not to say that one baby will be easier to pose over another one merely based upon age, but generally speaking, the age of the baby can dictate how the session will run. Younger babies tend to go into certain curly poses much easier than older babies and don’t mind much about having their clothes off if they are kept warm.
Babies Younger than Two Weeks
Typically, I schedule all newborn sessions between five and ten days after birth. Although I will schedule newborns at any age, I strongly encourage parents to schedule sessions when babies are at least under two weeks of age. At this age, they are more likely to curl up in “womb-like” poses, stay asleep longer, don’t mind being unclothed, and usually have their feeding schedules set to at least every two hours. So do not wait any longer and book your newborn session now!
Babies Older than Two Weeks
On occasion, I have clients who want to book a session with their baby who is older than two weeks of age. That’s OK! I do not turn them away. I just inform the parents that babies older than two weeks might not curl up as easily or like their clothes off. When I have a session with an older baby, I need to focus more on images of the baby dressed, awake, nicely tucked in a basket, or handheld shots. Not all parents are concerned about getting the early, curly poses. They just want photos of their baby. I let parents know not to expect those types of poses, but I’m you are happy to create beautiful portraits for them!
