NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY

Newborn photos capture the fleeting, precious moments of your baby's earliest days, preserving memories that can easily be forgotten as they grow.

At Sentimental Moments by Alex, we specialize in capturing the pure essence of your newborn through natural posing and expert wrapping techniques, with a focus on simplicity and elegance.

Our approach emphasizes the beauty of your baby’s natural expressions and delicate features, using minimal props to ensure that the focus remains on your little one. By combining gentle, timeless poses with skillful wrapping, we create captivating images that celebrate the true beauty of your newborn in a calm, uncluttered setting.

 

Newborn photography captures infants' beauty and innocence in their first weeks.

It highlights delicate features with soft textures, warm tones, and creative props. Sessions are serene and safe, letting families relax as their baby is gently posed. These timeless images become cherished heirlooms, celebrating the joy of a new family member.

Newborn photography Safety

Your baby’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities during every newborn photography session. We respect your baby’s natural rhythm, ensuring their comfort is maintained throughout the shoot. Sessions are always flexible, with breaks for soothing, feeding, or rest whenever needed to create a calm and stress-free experience.

All props and equipment are thoroughly sanitized after each use and again before every session, guaranteeing a hygienic and safe environment. We use only professional photography equipment that meets strict safety standards and carefully adjust poses to suit your baby’s physical condition, ensuring their well-being at all times.

As a professional newborn photographer, I am committed to capturing your baby’s precious moments with the utmost care, making the session both safe and enjoyable for your family.

To further protect your baby’s health, I take personal hygiene and preventative measures very seriously and have completed the following vaccinations:

• COVID-19 Full Vaccination

• Whooping Cough Vaccination

• Influenza Vaccine

Your peace of mind and your baby’s safety are at the heart of everything we do.

 FAQs

  • Highly recommend 5-14days, This period is ideal because babies are usually very sleepy, flexible, and easier to pose. If over 2weeks babies may become more alert and less willing to settle into poses. We are still able to take photographs, but we just need more time to get a baby settled.

  • Newborn sessions can last between 3 and 4 hours. This includes time for feeding, soothing, nappy changing and photography. I only photograph one baby at a day, so there is no rush if your baby needs more time.

  • Book a session as soon as you know your due date. I usually book you 7-10days after your expected due date. So please let me know when the baby arrives so we can reschedule if necessary.

  • Yes!. To accommodate your schedule and ensure we capture your baby's first moments in the most relaxed and comfortable setting, I am happy to offer sessions on weekends. This flexibility allows us to provide the best service for you and your family.

  • Absolutely! I would be more than happy to come to your home for the session. Alternatively, you’re also welcome to visit my home studio. Please note that there may be a travel fee depending on your location.

  • Creating your beautiful photo gallery will take many hours of work before it is ready to view. Digital collections will take 2-4 weeks.

  • To capture your natural beauty, we recommend a soft, light makeup look for mothers. However, if you would prefer a professional makeup artist, we would be delighted to arrange this for you. Please note that this service is available at an additional cost.

  • If you see my gallery, you’ll notice that I rarely use props in my photos. I believe that simple, timeless images are the most beautiful and enduring. So, there’s no need to worry about preparing any props — we’ll focus on capturing your baby’s natural beauty. However, if you have anything special that you’d like to include in the photos, I’m more than happy to incorporate it into the session!

  • I would recommend soft neutrals, like off-white, light gray, cream, and beige. If you don’t have these colors, plain white or black clothing works well too. Please try to avoid bright colors and clothing with large logos.
