Autumn has to be one of my favourite times of the year, especially when it comes to choosing colours and styling my newborn photography sessions.
I absolutely love working with warm browns, soft creams, earthy greens and all those beautiful natural colours that autumn brings.
My photography style has always had a lovely rustic feel to it, with wooden props, soft knitted outfits, natural textures and warm, earthy tones. I love creating newborn images that are simple, cosy and timeless, with your beautiful baby always being the main focus.
And autumn is just the perfect season for all of this!
How adorable is this wee boy who came along to my studio recently?
He visited me through my lovely collaboration with Numi Scan Lanarkshire, and I had such a lovely time photographing him.
I absolutely loved his little teddy bear setup, with the warm brown colours, rustic wooden shelves and all those cuddly bears sitting beside him.
And of course, those gorgeous wide awake eyes!
I love when I can capture a lovely mixture of sleepy and awake images during a newborn session. Those little expressions are just as special as the peaceful sleeping photographs, and it's lovely for families to have a mixture of both.
When I think about natural newborn photography, I think of beautiful earthy colours, soft textures and simple setups that don't take attention away from your baby.
I love using wooden bowls, rustic baskets, knitted wraps and lovely natural fabrics to create different looks throughout a session.
For this little boy, I chose a mixture of rich chocolate browns, soft caramel tones and muted greens, which all worked beautifully together.
I also included some tartan, which is something I absolutely love using in my newborn photography. The rich colours looked gorgeous alongside the other autumn shades.
Although my newborn photographs are carefully posed, I love keeping the overall look natural and relaxed, with your baby as the main focus.
I want the images I create to look just as beautiful hanging on your wall in 20 years as they do today.
One of the lovely things about my studio in Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, is how beautiful it looks throughout the changing seasons.
I have a gorgeous tree lined driveway leading up to the studio, and during autumn the trees turn the most beautiful shades of gold, orange and brown.
It really is such a lovely time of year here!
I love bringing those same natural autumn colours into my newborn photography setups, creating that warm, cosy feeling indoors too.
And when the weather allows, I can also use the driveway for some beautiful outdoor family photographs, surrounded by the trees and all those lovely seasonal colours
I've been photographing newborn babies for over 18 years now, and one of the things I've always loved is creating a calm and welcoming experience for families.
My studio is lovely and warm, with everything ready for your baby's arrival.
I have a large selection of newborn outfits, wraps, hats, headbands and rustic props, so there's no need to bring anything special for your baby's photographs.
I take my time throughout the session, allowing plenty of opportunities for feeding, changing and cuddles whenever your little one needs them.
I also love including parents and older brothers and sisters in newborn sessions, as these are such special memories to look back on.
My newborn photography studio is based in Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, and I welcome families from Glasgow, Hamilton, East Kilbride, Motherwell, Bothwell, Uddingston and throughout Central Scotland.
If you love natural colours, rustic styling and beautiful, timeless newborn photographs, I'd love to welcome you to my studio.
I usually recommend having your newborn session when your baby is around 10 to 21 days old, although older newborns are always welcome too.
It's best to book while you're still pregnant, and I simply use your due date as a guide until your little one arrives.
Thank you so much to this little boy's family for coming along to the studio. I loved having the opportunity to create these lovely images for you both. ❤️
