Richmond Family Photographer / Kew Family and Newborn Photoshoot

Newborn Photoshoot in RIchmond-upon-Thames

This newborn photoshoot was organised to mark the arrival of the second baby into this lovely family. I really enjoyed getting to know, and to photograph this family. The location for the photoshoot was the family home in Kew, London. We discussed splitting the photo session and doing a part of it indoors, and (weather permitting) doing the second half in the garden. Luckly, the weather gods were with us on the day, so we were spoilt for choice.

Natural Newborn Photography

At the beginning of my photography career, I tried a few different setups when photographing newborns. I found these to be quite awkward and un-natural, and I think I have finally set on photographing newborns in quite a natural way; being adored by their parents, having a curious look during their awake time, sleeping in their cot, interacting with their older sibling(s). This little baby boy was only 5-6 weeks old during this newborn photo session but very much awake and alert nearly the whole time I was there (he eventually dozed off just before I left). I was therefore able to capture a few sweet looks, and tender moments with his parents. We spent some time in the sunshine taking family photos, where I was able to not only photograph the newborn but also the older sibling, and to take a few family photos. After all those family portraits, and outdoor time, it was time for the baby to sleep and what better way to go to sleep than with a gentle kiss from your big brother. The photo, at the very end of the slide show, melts my heart!

I was asked to photograph baby Jasmine when she was around a month old. It was such a pleasure to finally meet this bundle of cuteness after photographing her expectant mum and dad last summer in Richmond park. She was the most active newborn baby I've met so far, and was constantly kicking, arm waving and wiggling. She stayed awake during multiple outfit and background changes, individual and group shots, tireless and ready for action - a real pro! Her Wonder Woman onesie was definitely the right choice of outfit! She eventually dosed off in her parents' arms just long enough for me to get a few sleeping frames. Then she was up again and ready for round 2. For a selection of images from this session, please visit my blog.
