Blossom Brook Newborn Photography
Capturing Your Baby’s First Moments

Welcome to Blossom Brook, where newborn photography is more than just images—it’s an experience of art, care, and lasting memories. We understand how fleeting those earliest days are. That’s why our newborn photography is designed to capture every tiny yawn, curl, and peaceful sleep in a way that you can cherish forever.

Why Choose Blossom Brook for Newborn Photography?

When you book with Blossom Brook, you’re investing in:

• Expertise & Safety: Our photographers are specially trained in newborn safety and techniques. We use safe posing, clean props, and studio conditions that ensure temperature control and comfort.

• Personalised Style: Every parent has a vision. Do you prefer soft, pastel tones or a moody fine-art aesthetic? Minimalist backdrops or colourful props? We tailor the newborn photography style to your preferences.

• A Relaxed, Baby-Centred Session: We move at your baby’s pace. Feeding, cuddling, settling—there’s no rush. This ensures your newborn photography session feels calm, natural, and beautiful.

• High-Quality Deliverables: Professionally edited images, choice of fine-art prints, albums, digital files. The output of your newborn photography session will be something you’ll be proud to show off and display.

When to Schedule Your Newborn Photography Session

Timing is crucial for optimum newborn photography:

• The best time for a newborn photoshoot is between 5–15 days after birth. During this stage, babies are naturally sleepier and more flexible, making it easier to capture those classic, curled-up poses while they’re calm and comfortable.

• It’s best to reserve your newborn session while you’re still pregnant, as prime spots fill quickly. Booking early gives you peace of mind, flexibility with scheduling, and one less thing to worry about once your little one arrives.

• Duration: Newborn photography sessions typically take 2-4 hours (or more) to allow for feeding, soothing, settling, and wardrobe and wrap changes.

What to Expect in Your Newborn Photography Session

Here’s how a typical newborn photography session with Blossom Brook works:

1. Pre-Session Consultation
   Before the shoot, we talk about your preferences: colour palettes, props, outfits, family or sibling inclusion, the mood you’d like (natural, artistic, lifestyle).

2. Studio Setup / Lifestyle Option
   In-studio means controlled lighting, a wide selection of props and wraps, and a warm, comfortable environment for baby. We also offer lifestyle newborn photography (in your home or your nursery) if that resonates more with your family.

3. Safety & Comfort
   We maintain a warm room, keep things clean, and always have a parent or assistant nearby for support. Baby is never forced—every pose and move is made gently.

4. Posing & Capturing Moments
   From wrapped poses, to close-ups of tiny toes and fingers, to family and sibling shots—your session will include a variety of images. Some posed, some candid. Some serene; some showing natural expression.

5. Editing & Delivery
   After the shoot, we carefully edit each image: colour correction, gentle retouching where needed, ensuring skin tones are natural, and preserving detail. Then we deliver high-resolution files and print/album options so your newborn photography memories become physical keepsakes.

How to Prepare & What to Bring

To make the most of your newborn photography session, here are some useful tips and items to bring:

• Feed baby just before leaving for the session so they’re as settled as possible.

• Bring spare nappies, wipes, changes of baby outfits.

• Bring favourite wraps or blankets, or meaningful items (a special toy, heirloom blanket).

• Choose soft, neutral or coordinating colours for baby and family clothes. Avoid bold prints or anything that distracts.

• Keep parents’ wardrobe simple: neutral tones, solid colours often photograph best.

• Be patient—some moments come unexpectedly. The best newborn photography often happens when everyone is relaxed.

Styles & Themes We Offer in Newborn Photography

At Blossom Brook, our newborn photography portfolio includes a variety of styles. We’ll work with you to pick what suits you best:

• Classic & Timeless: Minimal props, soft neutrals, creamy backgrounds. These images will still feel elegant in years to come.

• Fine-Art Portraiture: Soft lighting, dramatic tones, artistic compositions. If you love art-gallery style newborn photography, this is for you.

• Colourful Props & Themes: When you want more visual interest—colours, themed backdrops, playful props—we can plan accordingly.

• Lifestyle Newborn Photography: At home, natural settings, beautiful lighting through windows, capturing real interactions between parents, siblings, and baby.

Tips for Great Newborn Photography Results

Drawing on expert advice and industry best practice, here are tips to help your shoot go smoothly and your images look amazing:

• Shoot within the first two weeks: As mentioned, the 5-14 day window is ideal. After that, babies are more alert, maybe less flexible, and may develop skin blemishes.

• Natural, diffused lighting: Soft window light or diffused studio lighting tends to create the most flattering, gentle images. Harsh overhead lights or strong direct sun can create unwanted shadows

• Choose props wisely: Less is often more. Soft wraps, simple props, meaningful items. Too many props distract from the main focus—your baby.

• Focus on detail shots: tiny fingers, toes, eyelashes, lips. These are among the most treasured images. They add variety and intimacy.

• Comfort & safety first: A warm room, clean and soft wraps, always having a support person close by. Never rush. Allow breaks for feeding and soothing.

• Shoot with emotion: Candid moments, parent and sibling interactions, eye contact, little smiles or yawns—these are often what make newborn photography unforgettable.

FAQs About Newborn Photography

What age is best for newborn photography?
Between 5-14 days old is ideal, when babies are sleepy and more easily posed. Sessions outside this window are possible, but often lean more lifestyle-style than posed.

Is it safe to pose newborns?
Yes – when done by trained professionals. Safety protocols: warm rooms, gentle handling, support for the baby, never forcing a pose. We always have someone close by to assist.

Do you include family and siblings?
Absolutely. Those moments—parents holding baby, siblings touching hand—are part of your family’s story. We’ll include family and sibling shots as part of your newborn photography package.

What if baby is fussy, wakes up, or needs feeding?
We build time into the session for this. The session is never rushed. Your baby’s comfort is key.

What should parents wear?
Simple, solid colours work best. Neutrals like cream, taupe, soft greys. Avoid busy patterns or logos that distract from baby.

Do you offer prints and albums?
Yes, we have bespoke fine-art print options, framed galleries, albums and keepsake products. Physical prints often become treasured items.
