I had the pleasure of photographing Bobby and her family recently, Bobby was 10 days old at the time of the newborn session.
We had a lovely relaxed session mum brought some of her own props to include in the session which I am always happy to photograph.
These are a few of their chosen pictures. Thanks to Cheryl and Chris for letting me share them on my blog.
She was an absolute delight, she loved her cake and I couldn’t believe it when we cut her a piece off and she took the rest of the cake and tried to eat it! (Picture below)
I always include bath time after a cake smash session, this serves two purposes, to clean the baby rather than mum having to tackle the job and it also gives me a chance to capture more images, most babies love this part of the session and I love the images taken at this time

Sorry this is my first blog post in ages, I have neglected my website a little bit recently with quite a lot of demands on my time and what with facebook and instagram this has been taking a back seat. I keep reading that a blog is really important for SEO etc so I now make a resolution to keep it up to date.
These are a few pictures from my last session with Holly. Her mum got in touch after she’d had an unsatisfactory photo shoot elsewhere, Holly was 13 days old at the time of this shoot and her mum was a bit worried that she had missed the vital time usually recommended to photograph newborns which is between 5 days and 15 days, why this time frame? Their skin needs time to get used to the outside environment and this usually takes about 5 days, also if they have had a difficult birth they can be a little bit bruised and sometimes their heads can be sensitive due to use of forceps etc. At this time they are still very bendy and naturally retain the womb pose shape which is great for photographers to capture. This doesn’t mean they can’t be photographed after this time it just means they are less likely to be comfortable in those poses and are less likely to be sleepy.
I got to try out one of my new props the little cream bunny and also a new headband which I made myself oh and a new super stretchy smooth cream backdrop which I love.
