6 reasons why it's a good idea to schedule your newborn photography Dublin session at home
Window of time. Within the first two weeks of birth baby is still all curled up. Hands and feet are still tucked together tightly as they were during pregnancy. This is a great time to capture the "newness" of baby. First weeks & days in the world. Also the time you can barely find the time to drag a comb through your hair, take a shower, make a meal. Although you're in a bubble of love with your baby, it is a time where everything revolves around being a new parent. For that reason, a newborn session at home means you can stay exactly as you are and I come to you. This takes the stress out of preparing for a newborn shoot. The charm is in the authentic setting of your home & family life
Natural documentary photography. At home newborn photography means I can do a documentary style session around the natural, authentic way you interact with your baby. There is no studio set up so the story behind each picture is your life as it is. No fuss or frills. The magic is in capturing all the details of how you are bonding with your newborn. Cuddles on the sofa or bed, feeding baby, holding tiny baby feet & hands. Exploring your family interactions in the different rooms of your house, including the living room & master bedroom & where there is good light for family portraits.

Natural light. There is a beauty to all natural light family photography. An opportunity for finding the unique, beautiful light in your home. I usually schedule newborn family sessions around 10/10.30am when the morning light is soft & mellow. I will make the most of natural light in unusual places. Window light is a favorite for newborn family portraits. Window light can produce dramatic pictures with high contrast between light & shade. I will also look out for sky lights, reflections off mirrors, light hitting a wall with an interesting pattern. Looking out for interesting opportunities for lighting family portraits
All the family is welcome. Of course, as with my outdoor family photography Dublin sessions, all the family is welcome. I love to include siblings with my newborn at home sessions. Older brother & sister portraits with baby as well as on their own. If you have pets, I love to include them as well. Cats in the background of a family portrait with baby can add to a homely feel. Also, if extended members of the family want to be included, for example grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, I will include them as well. I have options for extended family sessions if the family is over 14 people!

Flexibility. As I come to your home, there is the option to schedule your baby shoot at the most convenient time. I find this is often the morning, but I can shoot any time of the day as long as there is some natural light. That way I can fit around a busy family schedule! Also I don't need to worry about the weather. I can shoot family pictures inside even if there is lashing rain outside. We are free from concerns about the unpredictable Irish weather!
Variety. You can expect a variety of different pictures from our time together. The documentary style pictures of you interacting with your baby. Also environmental portraits of your baby & other family members & pets. Also included are the little details, such as baby hands & feet. That way you will have a gallery of all the best moments from our time together. I will make sure to have some classic black & white newborn portraits as well as vibrant color.
