I am a natural light, newborn baby photographer based in Kelsall, Tarporley, just outside of Chester in Cheshire. I absolutely love working with newborns and their families and feel extremely lucky and privileged each time I am asked by new parents to photograph their new arrival. With newborns, the recommended age to get those curled up, sleepy images, is up to 14 days, preferably 5-10 days from birth. However, there are occasions when this isn't possibly for one reason or another and if I can fit you in, I will do, as I feel it is so important to capture the memories of your little ones in their first year.

I am excited to be preparing little Eva Lily's images for disc this evening and here are a selection from her gallery. Eva was 8 weeks when we managed to photograph her and as you can see, as well as being absolutely beautiful, she was still quite small and happy to be snuggled up in a wrap. She was so good for us and her parents were such incredibly lovely people, you could really feel the love in the room. I love these images and think they are just so pure with the white backdrop and lace wrap, chosen out of my selection of beautiful props, along with a touch of vintage pink.

I'm sure you'll agree that Mum is stunning, I certainly don't remember looking this good 8 weeks after giving birth! In fact, I remember the first few weeks at least being quite chaotic and they seemed to pass by in a haze. This is another reason why I think it's such a great experience to have your newborn photographed. It gives parents a moment to sit back and take it all in, the changes that have happened and the wonderful new addition to their family.

We always suggest booking your place soon after your 12 week scan, as although I don't like to disappoint parents and will always try to fit you in, spaces are limited due to my own family circumstances and not all older babies are happy to be in the positions that we can pose little newborns in once they get past the 14 day mark.

I hope you enjoy...xxx
