Top Newborn Portrait Photography
The Perfect tutu and the perfect pose, those touches that make for the perfect Newborn portrait!
Sounds so simple doesn't it? But what it takes is much patience and a certain eye. Choosing the correct props, halos and colours are all important aspects that will come together to create an image that works, I love creating soft classic portraits and parents really love this sort of image that look stunning when wall mounted.
For the image above, a simple floral headband has been used. This one was purchased as a set from Ebay for around £12, but I make many of my newborn props also, and the above tutu is one I made myself.
Buying newborn props is an expensive business so I always try to create my own props. Not only does this save on expensive prices, but it also gives me artistic ideas and ensures that every shoot I do has a completely different end result. I have many fur rugs, like the one in this shot, as I use fur in almost all Newborn shoots, and many babies love the soft feel of the fur on their skin!
This shoot was for a family in Greenwich, London. I just love visiting my customers in the comfort of their own home and each time I love to work with their home and decor; this shot, for example, was taken on their settee with window light from behind, and it worked perfectly.
