How should you prepare for a newborn and family session?

 I advise booking to be arranged roughly two weeks beforehand - it makes the event stress free and therefore more exciting as we have time to exchange all the information regarding the preparation for the session along with package details - what my client will receive for the price offered. I also get the chance to answer any burning questions such as
What is a digital file?
What is a JPG image?
What kind of framing, and print sizes do I provide?
What should we wear?
How long do we wait before getting a preview of the shots?
Will the pictures be fully edited?
Of course, such questions can be emailed to me at matchbox.photographer@gmail.com

What is my routine during a shoot?
I begin the shoot with the toddlers and babies first as they tend to get tired quite quickly and their excitement recedes. A good idea is good to have some treats prepared, just in case we need more time for photos. With the newborn babies there is no set idea of how your baby is going to act, it is easier to have the seession done by the time the newborn is around 14 days old.


So much love and happiness captured recently with baby Molly and her parents. An amazing session at home, with plenty of giggles, even a few tears following an unexpected family visit, and great natural lighting that helped to create these unforgettable snaps. Priceless experience with photos to be cherished forever.

 I am lucky to say I had the privilege to work along side a master of contemporary natural light portrait, Magdalena Berny, in Rome, Italy, last May.  This masterclass was one of the most amazing experiences of my life, resulting in beautiful artistic portraits, including this stunning photograph.



What an "on location session" means and what is included:
On location photo session simply means that Iwill work with you in your home as opposed to in a studio. What I need is a room preferably with double bed - to pose the baby on - and a plain wall to be used as a backdrop. And most importantly: the window light. That is the natural light sourcewhich I will use to take all the lovely portraits of your baby and the family.  I believe this is most comfortable option for a newborn as well as for your family.
