Warwickshire Newborn Photography That Captures Parenthood.

Can parents be included in the photoshoot?

I am a newborn photographer and I work with, hold and cuddle newborns every day!  It can be hard sometimes to explain how important these moments are for you to capture. I can tell you how the newborn stage doesn’t last long and how you need to capture these moments before they are gone.  But how can I fully, truly explain to you when I want to be a mum, but I’m currently not? Why should you listen to what I say? 

I talk to mums all the time, every day in fact and as I understand it, watching your children grow can be one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences in life. From the moment they are born, you witness their every milestone, triumph, and struggle.

So I asked my instagram community full of my lovely clients and mums living mum life daily!

Capturing Newborns when they fit perfectly in your hands.

Here are some common sentiments and emotions you might experience as you observe your children's growth and I this is what I want to capture in your images. Here’s what they said!

  • Unconditional Love: As a mum, your love for your children is boundless. Watching them grow only deepens this affection, and you find yourself loving them more with each passing day, regardless of their age or stage in life.

  • Pride in Achievements: Every little accomplishment brings immense pride. Whether it's their first steps, saying their first words, excelling in school, or mastering a hobby, you cheer them on every step of the way.  One mum told me via instagram: “Although you wish for every milestone, you have a little sadness in each one because you realise just how fast they are growing.” 

  • Nostalgia for the Past:  Remembering the early days of their infancy and toddlerhood can bring a sense of nostalgia. Those beautiful images from your photoshoot become invaluable.  You may find yourself flipping through old photos and nothing will beat high quality newborn photography.  “You will fall down a photo rabbit hole from time to time reminiscing about the times when they were so tiny and dependent on you. Especially on birthdays.” 

  • Parental Growth: As your children grow, you grow as well. Parenthood continually challenges you to evolve, adapt, and become a better version of yourself, both as a parent and an individual.

  • Cherished Moments: “Thinking you still have a baby, but then meeting a newborn you realise you suddenly have a toddler is something else”  Time seems to fly when you're a mom. Amidst the chaos of daily life, you try to cherish every moment and the best way is to freeze them in time. Childhood is fleeting. 

  • Deepening Bonds: As they grow older, your relationship with your children can transform into a deeper bond overall.  But your bond from the start is something you treasure most. 

If you are looking for beautiful newborn photography that captures them so small, lasts a lifetime and captures your bond. You can enquire about a photoshoot today!

My approach to posing is all about creating relaxed and natural images that reflect the genuine connection and tenderness shared between you and your little one. There's no need for elaborate or crazy poses; instead, I focus on capturing the authentic beauty of your family's interactions in a comfortable and stress-free environment. These photographs serve as timeless reminders of the love and joy that fills your home during this magical time in your lives.

Parent and newborn photography.

I believe it's incredibly important for parents to be included in newborn photoshoots, as these images not only capture the adorable newness of your baby but also beautifully showcase the profound bond between parents and their newborn. Parenthood is a journey filled with love, joy, and countless precious moments, and what better way to preserve those memories than through heartfelt photographs that include both parents and baby.
