Having a photographer come into your home for your newborn photos is a great way to have professional photos when you're not quite ready to adventure out to a studio or location. You're probably still figuring out your baby’s routine so being at home will make it that little bit easier for you, especially if you have a toddler or children who are also adjusting to the change of having a newborn. A bonus of using your home for photos is it’s a space that is personal to your family, so in years to come your little one can see the home they grew up in.
These sessions are very relaxed and stress-free for parents. I like to capture moments of your family interacting in your everyday life setting and every so often I’ll ask everyone to smile and look at me for a quick photo (if your partner is camera shy the approach I use is really easygoing and not awkward). When your little one needs a feed or your toddler wants a snack then we can also pause photos for a few minutes, you’ll have everything you need right there. We can also use any props or special blankets in the photos so you’ll get a lot of variety (Grandparents and Aunties love seeing their knitted gifts being put to good use).
At this point in time, I don’t offer studio portraits for newborn photography but if you're wanting natural and less posed photos taken in your home, this kind of session might be what you're looking for! I travel to you and the rest is easy. These sessions are available all year round, so you can pick any time to update your family photos (weekends are limited during summer so do get in touch to find out more about my availability).
Here are some reviews and testimonials from families I’ve photographed! You can also check out my Google reviews for more up-to-date feedback.

“Jaymee took some incredible photos for us. But not just that, she was friendly, calm and created a great atmosphere, which really helped make the session in our home with two young kids a success!”
