A wee sneak p*ek from a session this week! Gorgeous wee Sonny! Ive had the pleasure of photographing this little ones big sister (who is now nearly 9 wow!) so it was lovely to visit again and meet the newest wee addition.
He done totally amazing, such a sweet little man! :)

I’ve been enjoying looking back at photos lately… I got into newborn photography about 15/16 years ago so there’s been a lot of babies over the years!
I believe this one was from circa 2017.
How cute!!

This is an old post from a good few years ago, and I don’t really do these kind of shots now but it’s cool to shop what goes into it. (We will ignore physics and how there’s no way she could actually hold a baby up with a stick lol)
Hi!
I do a lot of images that may have you wondering ‘hmmm is that safe?’ , well in short, yes very safe!
Safety during my baby photo sessions is tantamount! There is no way I would ever put a baby in danger to get the ‘perfect’ shot.
Sometimes it is simple things like placing weights in the bottom of baskets so they don’t tip or having a parent beside the baby in or on a prop with their hand just an inch or two off the baby so that if they even move the tiniest bit then a safe hand can be placed on baby.
Other times we have to take 2 or 3 or more shots to combine later on to get the perfect shot. Take this shot for example…
This photograph is made up of two images. First we photographed big sister Rebecca holding the branch with the little stork pouch tied onto it. The branch was a little long so Daddy used a supporting hand to hold it at the right angle.
Next I pulled my beanbag across and untied the stork pouch from the stick. Then on the beanbag coaxed little Evie into position inside the stork pouch. As a babies head is quite heavy compared to the rest of the body I had to make sure the body was lower than the head, but for added support and safety when Evie’s Mummy lifted the pouch she placed a hand underneath. The pouch was only lifted a couple of inches off the beanbag so if Evie started to move at all it would be lowered right back down.
So once I had these 2 images I then made some digital magic in the fabulous program which is Adobe Photoshop! And voila we have a beautiful, fun and most importantly safe image!

5 THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT NEWBORN BABY PHOTO SESSIONS!
Newborn baby photography sessions are just fab, everyone should have one as your little cherub is only teeny for such a short space of time! I know they can also be a bit daunting for new parents as everything is new at that point and generally my mums are still feeling rather tired and a bit shell shocked from their birth experience. It is for this reason I want to write this blog.. to give some piece of mind and and a wee insight into my world!
1) Newborn sessions are usually around 2 hours… some babies rock it and are done in just an hour, some take a little coaxing and can be as long as 4 hours. Every baby is different and I schedule for that accordingly! And please, please, please don’t worry if it is taking longer than you expect…I love the extra baby cuddles! I would much rather take a bit of time and patience to get you these beautiful images than rush through and take rubbish ones! I will go with the flow of your little one. If it is clear that baby is just not happy to be photographed we will always reschedule for another day to make sure we get plenty of beautiful baby photos!
2) I get p*e’ed and poo’ed on pretty much every single session, it is just second nature now to wipe it up and continue on:)Most babies tend to aim their p*e so that it looks like It’s me who had the accident, little monkeys! haha
3)A lot of my families mention that baby has flaky skin or spots. This is not an issue and I work with it every day and if needed I can touch it up with some editing magic. I personally love a wee bit of flakiness as it shows how new they are but I am happy to remove it if preferred
4)Can you have family photos? Yes of course you can! I love photographing new families! Generally we do close up images so you don’t have to worry about your post pregnancy body at all! You for sure don’t need to worry, but I know a lot of new mummy’s are very conscious of this, I’ve got you!
5)Your baby will eat more than normal throughout the session! Im sorry to say if you have a wee feeding routine already in place, for the few hours you are here your baby will likely not follow that schedule. For the lovely sleepy shots we need a nice and full tummy of milk so if bottle fed have plenty of bottles and milk to hand!
I hope this gives you all a little insight into a newborn photo session!
Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about our newborn baby photo session, we would be delighted to help!

***please share***
It’s almost exactly a year since I decided to close up Newborns by Nicola….. yet I never closed this page or sold all my millions of props and camera equipment….
Lately I’ve been feeling the tug to get back into it…
To test the water and see how I feel I would like to do some newborn sessions. To make it easy it would be fully digital so the newborn session plus all edited images sent digitally. These sessions will be limited availability at £225
Message if you are interested, and I would appreciate a page share if you can! This page has been dormant for a year so will need a push to be seen again.
Thanks
Nicola :)

Thank you for all the kind words regarding closing up :)
Just a wee reminder that digital images are available for purchase from sessions (if I still have them) at a reduced rate. Just message for more info x

**Announcement**
After nearly 14 years of photographing newborns, it’s time for me to close this chapter in my life.
I just don’t have the time to dedicate to nurturing this business anymore… as much as I will miss all the newborn cuddles.
Thank you so much to all my amazing clients over the years, each and every newborn I met was my favourite 😂

Ps… if you want any images from the archives please message me now. They will be available for a couple of weeks at a discounted price while I wrap things up.
PPs…. If anyone is wondering why I don’t have time these days… check out my tattoo page 😉 Nicola Denny Tattoo

what a gorgeous wee angel!
I tend to do all shots without added props like hats and headbands and then the same shot with something added like this wee hat to match the wrap! That way you have the choice :)
15/10/2021
Sibling photos are just the best!
I am more than happy to include shots of your precious newborn with older siblings, parents and even furry siblings!

I love this wee bed prop combined with little ones own wee dress! So cute!
I have lots of props but I love including personal items.... be it a little outfit, blanket or sometimes we can get adventurous....Ive had motorbike helmets, snowboards etc etc...... one of the more adventurous was a milk urn 😂
14/10/2021
So cute!
I currently have very limited space available so stick to just newborns generally but if you have had photos done by me before and need non newborn photos I will do my best to sneak you in a space! How could I say no to a wee face like that!
13/10/2021
so freaking cute! I just can't handle it!
Newborn sessions are super limited so please get in touch as early in pregnancy as you can to be assured of a space!
