A Relaxed, Baby-Led Approach
During your newborn photography session, we follow a completely baby-led approach. This means we work around your little one’s needs and natural rhythms, rather than forcing poses or schedules. Our goal is to make sure you feel comfortable and relaxed, allowing us to capture the authentic moments that make this time so special.
Capturing Those Precious Details
We take care to capture all the precious details of your baby, from tiny fingers and button noses to delicate eyelashes and perfect little toes. These details change so quickly in the first weeks at home, and we want to preserve them for you. Our gentle guidance will help position you in the best natural light in your home, enhancing the quality of the photographs.
Including Family Members and Siblings
We encourage the inclusion of parents, siblings, and even pets in some of the images, creating a complete family portrait that showcases the connections and emotions of this special time. Our approach ensures that everyone feels included and comfortable, resulting in natural and heartfelt photographs that you’ll treasure.
Our newborn session typically lasts between 2-3 hours, allowing plenty of time for feeding, changing, and settling your baby without feeling rushed. We work around your baby’s needs, ensuring a stress-free experience for everyone involved. By doing so, we can capture the beauty of your family in a completely natural way, right in the comfort of your home.
Preparing for Your Home Newborn Photoshoot
Blink Pictures – Newborn and Baby Photography in your home.
Preparing for your home newborn photoshoot is easier than you think, and we’re here to guide you through it. To ensure a smooth and successful session, there are a few simple steps you can take.
Creating the Perfect Environment
We recommend turning up your heating before we arrive to create a cosy environment, as newborns need extra warmth when they’re not fully clothed for some of the portraits. Newborn babies get cold very easily, and their feet tend to go purple! Keeping your home a bit warmer than usual can make a big difference for your session.
What Your Baby Should Wear
Keep your baby’s outfit choices simple – plain, neutral-coloured babygrows, vests, or just a nappy with a soft wrap work beautifully and keep the focus on your newborn’s delicate features. It’s also a good idea to have a few different outfits available to give us some variety during the photoshoot.
Simple Home Preparations
There’s no need for extensive home preparations – just clear some space near windows for good natural light and perhaps tidy the main areas where we’ll be photographing. We understand that you’ve just had a baby, and we don’t expect a perfectly tidy home! To make sure your baby’s skin is protected, consider keeping their nails trimmed or using the built-in mittens on sleepsuits to prevent scratches on their head and face.
By following these simple steps, you can help ensure a stress-free and enjoyable newborn photoshoot experience. We’re committed to capturing the precious moments with your baby and creating beautiful, lasting memories for you.
The Ideal Timing for Newborn Photography
Capturing the essence of newborn photography requires precise timing, and understanding the ideal moment is crucial. To capture your baby as a proper newborn, we recommend having the photography session in the first two weeks after birth.
The 5-14 Day Window
The ideal time for newborn photography is between 5-14 days after birth, when your baby is still naturally curled up in those womb-like poses and tends to sleep more deeply during the day. During this golden window, your newborn is typically more settled and easier to position gently for those peaceful sleeping portraits that capture their tiny, brand-new features.
Booking Your Session Before Baby Arrives
We recommend booking your session before your baby arrives, ideally during your second or third trimester, as our calendar fills quickly and this ensures we can accommodate you during that optimal time frame. Once your newborn arrives, simply contact us via WhatsApp or call 07438252177, and we’ll confirm the exact day for your session, working around your recovery and your baby’s needs.

Common Questions About Home Newborn Photography
Capturing the first few weeks of your baby’s life is a special way to cherish memories, and we’re here to answer your questions about home newborn photography.
As a trusted professional newborn photographer, we understand that you may have several concerns or queries about the process. Below, we address some of the most common questions we receive.
Safety and Posing Concerns
One of the most frequent questions is about the posing of your baby during the photo session. We want to reassure you that our approach focuses on natural, gentle positioning that prioritizes your newborn’s safety and comfort. Unlike some studio photographers, we don’t pose your baby in unnatural positions or use props that might be uncomfortable. Our professional photographer is trained to handle your baby with care, ensuring that they are safe and secure throughout the session.
Many parents consider DIY newborn photography, but professional photographers bring expertise in lighting, safety, and posing that’s difficult to replicate, especially during those sleep-deprived early days with your baby.
Dealing with Small or Messy Spaces
Another common concern is whether a small or messy home can work for a newborn photography session. The good news is that we’ve worked in homes of all sizes, and we can create beautiful newborn photography in even the tiniest spaces, often needing just one good window for natural light. Don’t worry about your house being too small or messy; we understand you’ve just had a baby, and a quick tidy of the main areas we’ll use is helpful, but we can work around normal family life.
- Don’t worry about your house being too small or messy – we’ve worked in homes of all sizes.
- A typical home newborn photo session takes approximately 2-3 hours.
- For parents considering DIY newborn photoshoots, remember that professional sessions include expert editing and high-resolution images.
Session Duration
A typical home newborn photo session takes approximately 2-3 hours, allowing plenty of time for feeding, changing, settling, and capturing a variety of poses and family combinations without feeling rushed. This relaxed pace ensures that we can capture the best moments while keeping your baby safe and comfortable.
By understanding what to expect from your home newborn photography session, you can feel more at ease and enjoy the experience of capturing those precious early moments with your baby.
