Newborn Shoots In the comfort of your own home...
This may sound right up your street if you are unsure how you will be feeling about leaving the house a week or two after your precious baby is born.
But... You may still have some questions about whether your house is big and bright enough... Let me answer these questions for you below! And if you do have any other questions about my mobile baby photoshoots..don't hesitate to get in touch! x
1. Will my house be big enough? What room will be best?
I feel most living rooms will be perfectly fine for the job. I don't take up too
much space! Usually just moving the coffee table and potentially a few other bits to the side and we will be good to go. If you are unsure about the space you could always send me a photo across and I will let you know. ..I have also done the odd newborn shoot in another room where there is a little more space/lighting is better... But as you will see below; lighting isn't an issue for me.
2. Does my space have the correct lighting?
Ok so, sometimes rooms with amazing natural lighting coming through are great to work in! So I definitely wouldn't be opposed to a nice light room! But saying that; I do always bring my own flash! :)
I have been used to working with my flash for many a year now and so lighting is no problem for me! (I will need a plug socket for this).
3. But my house is untidy!
Please don't worry about this one. I'm a creative... have you not heard creative people are more likely to be messy? On a serious note you've just carried your baby for 9 months then when you get them home we all know that doesn't leave much time to worry about your house!!
All I need is a little bit of extra space in one room in the house and I am not there to judge your home I'm there to meet your miracle!
4. What poses will you do? Will we get to pick the colours?
My newborn shoots are very relaxed and I lead from how baby is feeling. I rarely take posing requests and prefer the natural sleepy poses. As for the colours, I have a very natural colour base. If there are any colours you would prefer, then please just let me know ahead of time. As I am now mobile I don't bring along very many props now. I am all for a very neutral look.

Whether it is singing waiters, or just handing out some lyrics and having a good old sing-song / dance before your meal, I really do believe music can absolutely make a wedding - AND produce some bloody amazing photos at the same time (Keep me busy) !!!! Here you can see a few photos from Amy and Pauls wedding day at Scarborough Spa wedding venue - just look at the fun and energy! I would also like to point out that Groom Paul booked this singing waiter (Jack Ollett) and so bride Amy had absolutely no idea what was happening! The look on her face was priceless! Especially at the end when Jack sang Amy's absolute fave song! :) They also had the biggest conga line I have ever seen and it was just so much fun! (As you can see).

Hey there! :) Firstly, congratulations on your upcoming wedding - woohoo! Planning your day without a venue coordinator or wedding planner might seem scary, but with the right preparation, it can be AND SHOULD BE an incredibly rewarding experience. Here you will find some tips and tricks to help you create a smooth flow for your wedding day
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! 🎉 Planning a small, intimate celebration is such a wonderful journey. Here are a few tips to help you get started: Define Your Vision: Sit down with your partner and discuss your vision for the day. Whether it's a cozy backgarden marquee wedding or an intimate venue, having a clear vision will guide your decisions. Choose a Venue: Look for venues that suit your guest count. Small guest lists open up unique possibilities, such as intimate restaurants, gardens, or boutique venues. Budget Planning: Having a smaller guest list offers flexibility with your budget. Direct your funds toward elements that hold the utmost importance for you. Consider prioritising professional photography or videography; these tangible memories are the lasting treasures from your special day. Time of Year, and Vendor Selection: A smaller wedding may allow for quicker planning. Choose a season that resonates with your vision, and swiftly connect with essential vendors to secure your preferred date. Ensure they have availability and explore suppliers whose offerings align seamlessly with your unique day. The intimate setting creates an opportunity to curate an experience that feels uniquely yours. Venue Location: Top tip: I have photographed a lot of small weddings that have decided to carve a little time into their day to visit a close-by location that holds sentimental value. This could add a unique and intimate touch to your memories. (See photo below).
