Worries you may have before your Newborn Shoot
1. What if my baby has Bad skin/Cradle cap?
Dry flaky skin is really common with newborns! This shouldn’t be a worry for your professional photos as a great photographer is able to smooth the skin out during editing the photos so you can always remember your baby as the perfection they would be once their skin smooths out. With my photography although I smooth dry skin and get rid of a few spots your baby may have, I still try to keep a natural finish on your newborn photos.
2. What if my baby is naked but then they need the toilet!?
Its really true when I say I have seen it all! Babies feed a lot during newborn sessions due to the heat and being woken up regularly when being changed and so baby accidents are going to happen! Its absolutely no problem. I always have a change of clothes in my studio and I have lots and lots of fresh blankets to be used should these need to go into the wash!
3. What if you want a photo of me but I don’t look my best?
Of course you may not feeling your best so soon after having a baby but I still advise all new parents to have a photo with your new miracle! I only take photos from your top half upwards so you only have to worry about wearing a plain top. Does your hair not look its best?! I can sort it afterwards ! I have even been known to touch up roots for mums and add volume! Lastly if you’re feeling a bit tired I can give your face a slight re-touch. If after all this you still don’t like your photo, we can discard of it – Never to be seen again!
4. What if my baby just won’t stop crying/just won’t settle?
I always advise mums and dads to keep baby awake as much as possible during the morning of the session to help baby be sleepy during. At the end of the day, baby runs the show and we have to go along with how they are feeling! As most sessions can last around 3 hours, there is usually time to get the photos, but if we do feel things have just not gone to plan at all, we can arrange for you to come back another day within the week.
Hopefully you are now feeling a bit more confident about your newborn session! I am very patient during photo sessions, we will go with the flow and just enjoy a few hours admiring your little one! <3
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).
