ABOUT NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY WITH OLIVIA
Newborn Portraits are a very special once in a lifetime event, you have one window to get these portraits, one chance in their lifetime to capture these tiny features as a snap-shot of the moment in both of your lives, I always say they do not get younger and these early days fly by and change is incredibly fast - For this reason I recommend booking in early, to secure a spot with me, please get in contact after you have had your 20 week ultrasound, I work 1-2 days a week from my home studio in the beautiful little village of Aston around my other job, so I work around my timings for both roles and therefore I am only able to offer a small number of pre-booked newborn sessions but it is always worth enquiring last minute as if I do not have plan with my child on a weekend I will rarely turn a newborn away.
Newborn Baby Photography is hugely popular and an ever-growing trend. Pure beautiful little newborn babies in curled-up poses or propped inside baskets, surrounded by cute fluff are images that make the most hardened person go a wee bit mushy. ​
As a newborn photographer, I will hold, soothe and pose your baby gently and safely. I am not only a mother myself (this alone isn't a qualification for posing newborns!) but I am trained by some of the best trainers in the country in newborn art, to ensure your little ones are moved around safely, keeping a close watch on their breathing, colouring, and temperature.

These are my trademark sessions where I pose babies (ideally under 3 weeks old) in up to 10 poses, in 1-3 props, naturally wrapped and unwrapped images without posing. Macro detail images, and parent and sibling images are all included. You book your due date as a reserve date and when the baby is born we choose the actual session date during the baby's first 21 days.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A NEWBORN SESSION
Newborn Baby Photography is hugely popular and an ever-growing trend.
THAT'S A WRAP
Most newborn sessions start or end with a baby wrapped! This is because it is the fastest method for settling a baby and whilst they are settling, time can be used to capture ever-so-cute portraits of your baby. It is the simplest method of posing baby in props and colour changing to give you variety for your finished gallery.
​
As the baby settles, I move into unwrapping them and starting to bring out their treasured little features and then onto the newborn flow posing. When a newborn baby is wrapped it acts like muscle memory for them, they are limited in how easily their arms and legs can flail stopping the baby from the startle reflex, for them, it is just like being back in a mummy's womb. Safe, warm, and secure.
I am often called a baby whisperer.
It's not magic however it's training!
FLOW POSING
To take all these beautiful portraits of your newborn baby, your baby ideally needs to be between 5-21 days old so this is where booking ahead is a must.
Pure beautiful little newborn babies in curled-up poses or propped inside baskets, surrounded by cute fluff are images that make the most hardened person go a wee bit mushy. ​ As a newborn photographer, I will hold, soothe and pose your baby gently and safely. I am not only a mother myself (this alone isn't a qualification for posing newborns!) but I am trained by a number of the best trainers in the country in newborn art, to ensure your little ones have moved around safely as I wrap pose them and then head through flow posing.
I am often called a baby whisperer, but I like to believe babies have a sense of security with me and that is why they relax, this also enables parents to relax. I am always honored to be chosen to capture your images and pour my heart and soul into each session, my clients often comment they can see I love what I do.

99% of these poses are done on a newborn purpose-made posing station, where the beans underneath are manipulated and moved to help create little craters to gently support your baby. Additional 'beans' mini moon-shaped bean bags are also used.
