So proud to share a selection of our best newborn, baby, and family shots of 2017 taken in our tiny home studio in Glasgow.
At the beginning of the year we took a leap of faith and decided to see how setting up a wee in home studio for small shoots would go, and it has surprised us and done so well. Not only that but the lighting has proven to be beautiful!
We also have taken our set up to clients homes which we did in the past so this option is still available and something we do often.
I thought I would share a bit more about these sessions with you all with questions that clients always ask so I shall answer those for you in this post.
First of all, within a studio setting we cover newborn, sitter (a baby who can sit unsupported), cake smashes and toddler sessions. We also do special mini sessions a few times a year.
Why should you invest in any of these sessions?
The journey into parenthood is one that is filled with so many extremes-
- happiness
- love
- awe
- worry
- exhaustion
There are so many things going on in those first couple weeks as you transition into your new parental role, but it is important to take the time to document your newest family member. Those tiny newborn features that you spend hours memorizing do not last, and despite trying our very best to ingrain them into our heads, those fresh features change and fade from our memories. Not only as newborns but during their first 2 years there are so many milestones, firsts and personality changes as well which are great to hold onto forever in a set of beautiful pictures.
Which leads us to the other main intention, and this is to ensure that you will have images that you love and treasure to preserve those early and so very loved first years.

When should I book in for our newborn session?
It is best to get in touch when you are pregnant if you can (if not no worries!) after your 20-week scan is perfect and we can book a date for your session. We only take a limited number of newborns each month which gives us the flexibility to move days around as we know babies don’t always arrive on their due date.
What are styled newborn shoots?
Our styled newborn shoots require more of a set up then lifestyle sessions (stay tuned in the next few days for our lifestyle post). We use lighting, props and plenty of spare blankets and wraps in case of accidents (which is completely natural so no need to stress). These shoots are to achieve posed photos of your littlest but our style is to shoot along with your little one’s mood in the most authentic way possible. We also love to take posed photos of all of you if you feel up to it.
What is the difference between in studio and coming to our home?
Working from our home studio we know the light and also our set up and being able to keep the temperature constant. When we come to your home lighting is different as is the room for us to work in so it takes a bit more to make sure our set up flows with our style of light and bright photography BUT no worries, we make it happen.
