Baby Bump & Newborn Photoshoot

We were honoured to have photographed the lovely Hayley and Rich Phillips just over a week before little Austin arrived.  I was a little nervous before the shoot as it was our first ever baby bump shoot in our new studio, but my worries soon faded away as soon as we started to photograph the relaxed couple. It was really good fun, and we tried lots of different ideas.   Here's a couple of my faves ...

We were delighted to have received the news that little Austin had arrived just a week after the baby bump shoot! So we organised for the new-born shoot to take place only three days after he entered the world.  Once again nerves set in prior to the shoot because it was the first new-born we had ever photographed in the studio.  And once again I was silly to have got nervous and absolutely loved it!  The proud parents were an absolute pleasure to photograph, taking everything in their stride, total naturals!  Little Austin did brilliantly;  it’s really challenging to photograph such a tiny little baby as they wriggle a lot, but Austin was a pro and I managed to capture some lovely images for mum and dad to cherish forever.  I enjoyed this photo shoot  so much so, that it has now inspired me to invest in lots of fun props, hats and back drops to enable more creative new born options in the future.  Here are a couple of my favourite images from the photo shoot...

 

I'd like to thank Hayley, Rich and little Austin for being such awesome models and for allowing us to use the images on our blog and website :) x
