Newborn Photography: Studio vs. In Your Home
/
When you first find out you're pregnant it feels like you have all the time in the world. You're careful not to start buying things too early (you know, apart from that little outfit that you just couldn't leave behind) and you wait longingly for each scan to see that little face one more time and the reassurance that everything is a-ok.

/
Emily is one of the smiliest 2 month olds I have ever photographed!
All I had to do was speak to her and she'd break out into the most gorgeous smile. Her face was full of expression the entire photo shoot.

/
Little Ava came to me for her newborn photo shoot from Leighton Buzzard when she was 10 days old.
She had the most gorgeous eyes, which we got to see a lot because she outright refused to sleep!

Your newborn baby is precious and their safety comes second to none at your photo shoot.

/
This year I held Summer Mini Photo Shoots in Hemel Hempstead on the Nickey Line.
I call them 'summer', but I actually got so busy with Newborn shoots in the Spring that they ended up taking place on the last two weeks of August (whoops).
Thankfully we completely lucked out on the weather and had beautiful sunshine on both days (similar to last year so maybe they're lucky!)
Newborn Baby Photographer | Hemel Hempstead | Oliver

Some babies arrive smoothly and others with a bump. Some arrive late, and some, like Oliver, arrive very early.

/
As a newborn and baby photographer, I have to take the safety of my little clients very seriously. It might surprise you to know that the newborn photography industry is completely unregulated. Photographers like me, who take safety seriously, have to take it upon ourselves to be trained and educated on how to ensure the beautiful images we create, are done safely.

Ah, that special moment after weeks of encouragement when your little one starts to move around the house by themselves - a little uncoordinated and cute at first but then suddenly, those arms and legs are propelling them at the speed of light.
It is soon after this joy and love for their accomplishment that you realise just how many pointy edges and slammable doors there are around the house.

/
September is Baby Safety Month, which is a great reminder to make sure your knowledge is up to scratch should you ever need to save a child's life.
It is easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of choice there is but remember;
Any course is better than no course at all.
Read MoreA Girly Newborn Photo Shoot | Hemel Hempstead | Madison
/
When Madison arrived for her Newborn Photo Shoot the first thing I noticed was her amazing hair!
With her mum being a hair dresser, it made those luscious locks even more perfect.
While we were getting to ready to start with family photos, we talked about the risks of getting pee'd and poo'd on when handling a naked baby. Madison's mum and I were wearing matching white tops (thank you Asda) which are lovely tops for photos but are a little risky around a tiny naked bum.

Thank you so much for the lovely delivery, from the photography to the little details you've been fantastic.

Read MoreTop Mummy YouTubers & Why You Should Watch Them!
/
Beside the usual cat videos, over the last few years the world has been taken by storm by children watching other children open and play with toys, adults acting out scenes with toys (yes, this is apparently acceptable) and tweenagers falling in love with YouTubers just like we did with pop stars.
If you think youtube is just for children and weirdoes though, you are very wrong!
Mum (and dad!) vloggers are taking to YouTube in force, sharing the ups and downs of pregnancy, children and family life.
And when I say ups and downs, I mean it.
Read MoreBaby Photography | Hitchin | Harper Turns 1!
/
And just like that, little miss Harper turns 1.
Back in 2016 I met Harper and her family for her newborn photo shoot.
She was tiny little bundle of sleepiness, who slept like a dream, snuggled in the cosiness of her mum and dad's gorgeous house. See how tiny she is in her dad's arms? Well stick around...
Read MoreA Bright & Colourful Nursery - Inspiration & Ideas
/
Deciding what theme, colours and designs you'd like for your new baby's nursery is an incredibly exciting (if a little daunting...) process. The world of colour, pattern and design is your oyster.
If you've chosen to go the colourful route - high five to you! I think colourful nursery's give the impression of a really fun and happy space to grow up.
I hope this blog post fills you with inspiration and helps designing your new baby's room that little bit easier.
Read MoreNewborn Photography | Hemel Hempstead | Albie
/
Albie was the perfect little model at his newborn photo shoot a couple of weeks ago. He slept from the get go and pretty much stayed that way the entire shoot!
To start things off I used a lovely cream fluffy blanket. You'll have to trust me on this but it is SO soft! No wonder babies sleep so well on it.
I laid him down and got some natural photos while he got comfy and then when he was in a nice deep sleep I wrapped him up in a dark grey wrap.
Also, check out the amazing mohican!

/
Photographing a newborn once is lovely, but getting to see them grow up is even more special.
I first met Alfred and his family 2 years ago at their house in Hemel Hempstead. He was only a few days old and a teeny tiny bundle compared to the little boy he is now!

“We couldn’t recommend Becki highly enough - she was brilliant with our daughter who was instantly relaxed around her meaning we got amazing natural photographs that we are so happy with. She captured her personality perfectly. The photos and canvases are such high quality and we will definitely be using her again for baby number 2!”

Baby Photography Hemel Hempstead | Scarlett Turns 1
/
Just over a year ago I met Scarlett, a teeny tiny little newborn girl in Hemel Hempstead.
At only a few days old, she was a gorgeous little newborn model and I spent a few hours with her family getting a mixture of sleepy posed photos and more relaxed family photos.
Their conservatory was full of the most gorgeous natural light and was the perfect spot for cuddles and sleepy warmth.
