Capturing Precious Moments: A Newborn Photoshoot at Home in Teddington
Welcoming a newborn into your family is a magical experience, filled with precious moments that you’ll want to remember forever. One of the best ways to capture these early days is with a newborn photoshoot at home. Find some tips below for the perfect at home Newborn shoot.
Why Choose an At-Home Photoshoot?
Comfort and Convenience: Newborns, especially in the first few weeks, thrive in familiar surroundings. An at-home photoshoot eliminates the need to travel, making it easier for both the baby and parents.
Personal Touch: Your home is a reflection of your family’s personality. Including familiar settings and objects in the photos can add a personal touch that studio photos might lack.
Preparing for the Photoshoot
1. Choose the Right Time:
Newborns are often sleepiest in the late morning, making this an ideal time for the photoshoot. A well-rested and fed baby is more likely to be calm and cooperative. For that reason I usually schedule Newborn shoots between 10 and 11am.
2. Declutter
Select a few areas of your home that have good natural light. Clean up these spaces to create a serene and uncluttered background for your photos.
3. Choosing your outfits:
Simple and comfortable clothing is best for Newborns, I have lots of gorgeous pieces that we can use as well as soft blankets to keep baby warm. I have lots of dresses for Mum too as part of my client wardrobe. Earthy tone mixed with neutrals work best with my editing style. I will walk you through choosing outfits in my pre-session guide which all clients receive upon booking.
4.Relax and enjoy.
Breath in these special moments with your partner and new baby. We will take it slowly and be completely led by your little one.
