Newborn Photography for Margot

Sasha & Tom popped me a message after I put out a model call looking for a newborn for an in-home lifestyle photoshoot to build my portfolio. I arrived at their beautiful Victorian terrace in Newcastle just before Christmas, and they welcomed me in to meet gorgeous 6 week old Margot.

How old do babies need to be for Newborn Photography Sessions?

It’s a common misconception that babies need to be just days old. If you’re look for the old-fashioned, studio type of session where the baby needs to be asleep so they can be manhandled into poses and props that might be the case, but I am a lifestyle newborn photographer. This means baby can be any age, because I’m as happy to work with an awake baby as an asleep one!

What is lifestyle newborn photography?

Lifestyle simply means it’s real life, not studio. That means I come to your home and take beautiful, meaningful photographs of your new family in their own environment. I believe these images get more valuable as the years go by, while those boring studio posed shots get less and less, because there is none of your personality in them.

It took less than an hour to create a stunning gallery with a mix of family images, images with each parent and detail images of Margot’s tiny toes, finger nails and the like.
