New babies are perfection - the wispy hair, the crinkly fingers and toes, the hairy little ears.
It's an honour to capture a new life, and with many years of experience photographing newborns, I know how to work around a baby's rhythm rather than against it. I strive to create timelessly styled portraits that highlight the beautiful features that define your baby. I'm blessed to get the opportunity to capture these little people, and to have clients who trust me to treat their babies with respect and love.
My dedication to newborn safety is unwavering, and every session is tailored to suit the specific needs of your baby - there's always time for feeding and settling. These little models operate on their own timetable, and I cherish the opportunity to photograph them within their first 6 to 21 days, capturing those sleepy, curled-up images that are only possible when they're brand new.
At-Home Lifestyle or Studio Sessions
At-home lifestyle sessions happen in your own space, in the days after baby arrives. These are more relaxed and documentary in style - your baby, your home, your family, exactly as things are.
Studio sessions are held in Cape Town in a comfortable, controlled space, with full access to my collection of props, wraps, and backdrops for that classic, styled newborn look.
Timing Your Session
The best newborn photos happen in the first 6 to 21 days, while babies are still sleepy and curl up naturally. If you're expecting, it's worth booking ahead so we can plan around your due date and be ready as soon as baby arrives.
If you've missed that window, don't worry - we can still book a session and work within your baby's comfort zone. I've photographed many babies over 3 weeks old and there's still plenty of beautiful images to be had.
