A relaxed Newborn Photoshoot
your newborn photoshoot
Shouldn't make you feel anxious
Capturing your first week together with your newborn babe should be about you, your family, your love for this new tiny life you've welcomed into the world. That's why my approach to newborn photography is centered around ensuring that both mum, dad and baby are looked after. With a more relaxed and natural approach to newborn photography I have created a homely and inviting studio space that allows parents to relax and enjoy the experience, and allows me, to document your connection and that love soaked bubble in a way that honours you and your family.
furbabies
And of course, no one can forget your furriest member of the family. Well behaved furbabies are welcome to attend your photoshoot so that your family portraits are complete.
sibling
Beautiful sibling shots, showcasing your little ones wonder at their little brother or sister. When children aren't needed for a photo, they're able to play and rest in the attached playroom.
beanbag
Relaxed and natural bean bag poses, to capture images where baby is the sole focus, in a way that is natural and calm - without the need to stress if your little one won't sleep as these can be awake too.
parent
Beautiful parent moments will be captured for you, documenting your connection to your newest little addition along with your partners and the two of you together, all loved up.
Every photoshoot includes beautifully detail shots of your little babes features, tiny toes, baby fur and long lashes - all the features that change so quickly, so that you never forget.
macro
family
Candid but directed family photographs, to capture the love soaked gazes, the little bursts of wonder and the bubble of love you and your family are surrounded by in those first few weeks with your new babe.
Newborn photographs that capture authentic moments, fuzzy shoulders and those little baby lashes.
"WHAT SHE IS ABLE TO CAPTURE IS INCREDIBLE
I could not recommend Lucy more! We had the privilege of having Lucy take our maternity photos and our newborn photos. What she is able to capture is incredible. Lucy took her time with our toddler and somehow managed to get his whole cheeky personality captured in photographs. Through both shoots she made us feel natural and like we were hanging with a friend. Our family will treasure the photos Lucy took for years to come. I am struggling choosing our favourite to frame!
