PHOTOGRAPHING CHILDREN & BABIES
When photographing children, my goal is to create timeless images that authentically capture their unique personality. I take the time to build rapport and ensure they’re comfortable, allowing me to capture them at their best. I also note significant milestones to document, such as a baby starting to clap their hands.
I focus on capturing special interactions between parent and child, ensuring there’s at least one portrait-style photo for grandma’s wall. Most importantly, my photos aim to capture the real emotions and interactions between family members, preserving this precious moment in time.
With a simple, clean, and fresh style, my photographs embody authenticity and timelessness.
WHY LET ME PHOTOGRAPH YOUR CHILDREN?
- I’ll meet you for an early morning or late afternoon excursion, capitalizing on the ideal backdrop to photograph your family in their natural element—engaging, enjoying each other’s company, and radiating happiness.
- I engage with each family member to get you relaxed and feeling at your best.
- I position each person mindfully for the most flattering angles (remember, one day your child will want to see pictures with you, not just of themselves).
- My focus is on taking timeless images that will give you joy each time you see them on your walls, therefore steering clear of elaborate props and backdrops that will go out of style in a few years.
CHILDREN’S PHOTOSHOOT OPTIONS
Studio Option
Using clean white props, I create beautiful images that are perfect for framing. Occasionally, we have themed sessions such as for Christmas or Mother’s Day, or we build a flower wall or host a Saturday “family on the block” session. Cake-smash sessions, monthly baby photos, and baby milestone sessions are also available.
On-Location Option
Children are always spontaneous and energetic in outdoor settings. At a nice outdoor location, we let them run around and explore, capturing images in between their adventures.
At Your Home
Let me spend the morning or afternoon with you, whether you’re celebrating a birthday or christening, or just enjoying a normal day with your children, to create authentic lifestyle images.
Pricing and packages are based on the number of images you are interested in.
NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY
The newborn phase is incredibly precious, yet fleeting. Many parents feel overwhelmed, and those initial days can feel like a blur. A newborn photo session allows parents to slow down, take a deep breath, and focus on their new baby for those few hours.
For moms, the session offers a chance to feel like themselves again, with time to get dressed and have hair and makeup done. As an experienced photographer and mother, I understand these feelings and know how to make you feel comfortable and look your best.
Safety and comfort are top priorities when photographing newborns. We follow the baby’s lead and only pose them in ways they are comfortable with. We take things slow, pausing as needed for the baby to nurse or rest.
WHY LET ME PHOTOGRAPH YOUR NEWBORNS?
My newborn images are clean, crisp, and timeless. Using natural and neutral fabrics and backdrops, along with natural newborn poses, I create beautiful images that will never go out of style. I focus on capturing the heartfelt connections between you and your baby, as well as the intricate details from their wispy new hair to their tiny wrinkly toes.
Newborn sessions are best within the first 10 days of life when babies are deeply asleep after feeding. Their tiny bodies are still flexible and easy to position. If you’re not particular about specific poses, newborn sessions can be done up to 2 months old.
A STUDIO OR HOME SHOOT – WHERE MEMORIES UNFOLD
Studio Session:
Step into my dedicated white newborn studio, a tranquil haven for capturing precious moments. Every detail is meticulously curated to create a serene and nurturing environment for your baby. I offer a selection of fabrics, throws, scarves, and hand-knitted items, primarily in natural materials, stored neatly in a clean cupboard.
While my focus is on a palette of whites for a soft and timeless backdrop that highlights your newborn’s delicate beauty, I also offer alternative colors for customization.
Home Shoot:
Choose a lifestyle newborn session in your home if it has good natural light. These images, captured in your own space, may hold deeper meaning as they remind you of the home where you began your journey as parents. With a background in wedding photography, I adapt to your surroundings, ensuring a personalized touch to every session.
Ultimately, the choice of location is yours. Whether in my studio or at home, I am dedicated to crafting beautiful images that showcase the love and connection within your new family. I take a classic approach, blending beautiful light with love and connection – a timeless combination that transcends trends.
Dear Newborn Parent,
Congratulations on the arrival of your little one, a true gift from above. For the optimal newborn shoot, consider scheduling around day 5 when mom’s milk has arrived, and your baby is settled and content. During this period, newborns are more flexible, making for easier shaping and moulding for the perfect shot.
A newborn session I allow the baby to set the pace. Meeting beforehand ensures we are well- prepared, from what to wear to optimizing baby’s sleepiness, and aligning on styling and colouring.
An optimally prepared baby sleeps better during the shoot, creating the ideal conditions for capturing those precious moments.
In my studio, we use blankets, wraps, and throws made from organic materials – natural fabrics with organic textures that photograph beautifully. I believe in a soft and natural approach, keeping props to a minimum to achieve a timeless look and feel.
Looking forward to capturing these cherished moments with you.
Love, Karin
