Introducing Family Sessions and Mummy n Me sessions
After doing so many maternity sessions out in the beautiful hills around Sunbury, we decided to start offering Family and Mummy n Me sessions to our repertoire.
Lets be honest, we all worry about how our children are going to behave during a photoshoot! That’s why we aim to photograph more natural shots and capture their personality, rather than posing them.
Here’s a couple of tips though that can help get the best photos of your little ones :)
Plan on doing something enjoyable after the session
As a reward, it can be a good idea to plan on doing something enjoyable after the session such as going to the playground, getting pizza or ice cream. Something that will will look forward to after the session has finished.
Let them shine
Children feed of our energy so it’s best to try to be as positive as possible prior and during the session. Let them relax and show their natural personality, while we capture the moment. Letting children be themselves, will keep them engaged for longer during the session.
Talk to them aboutt what to expect
Children will do best if they know what to expect. Talking to them about how they are going to meet with a photographer at a park, how long it will take, how important it is to have photos of the family all together, will help your child be in the right mindset.
When should I make a newborn booking? | Emma Pender Photography
When should I make a newborn booking?
We only take a certain amount of bookings per month so we recommend booking after your 12 weeks scan your to ensure availability.
When is the best time to photograph newborns?
For our style of photography we recommend doing the newborn session in the first 12 days after birth.
As we don't know exactly when your baby will arrive, the actual day of the session is decided once your baby arrives.
Time passes so quickly when you have a newborn and they will never be so small and sleepy again.
