One of my favourite perks about my job is getting to document my couple’s journeys. I love watching couples grow from excited newly engaged to newlyweds, and then into their adventures as parents. It’s the butterflies of I do to the first wobbly steps with little ones, and I am here for it all. I’m really happy to share this natural newborn photography session in Glasgow with Miriam and David with gorgeous wee Rory. It’s so wonderful to be able to continue recording their lives as they carry on through their life adventures together.
Relaxed and natural newborn photography
I love photographing these in-home sessions with newborns. These sessions feel relaxed and it’s a very natural progression from the candid documentary style of their wedding photos. Natural newborn photography feels like an evolution of their journey. I visited Miriam and David at their Glasgow home for their natural newborn photography session meant we were able to include their beloved dogs Bella and Penny. There were lots of amazing spaces to use for photos to keep it really candid and relaxed. It was a familiar setting for them as well, which is exactly what you want when you’re starting out with a newborn baby. It was so great to catch up with them both again and take more photos for them to enjoy!
Benefits of an At-Home Newborn Session!
I know how difficult it can be getting out of the house in those first precious weeks – it really feels like an expedition! It can take hours getting everything ready just to get to the front door and go outside. Having their natural newborn photography session at home in Glasgow meant Miriam and David could relax and enjoy the experience as parents too.
No need to plan feeds, have all the kit for nappy changes, or spare outfits (including changes for the parents!). No worrying about getting out the house on time, traffic or planning an entire day’s timetable around arriving for an appointment. We kept the newborn photography candid and natural, meaning relaxed parents and a much more relaxed bubba too. Miriam and David were able to relax during their natural newborn photography session and just be themselves. New parents, enjoying the comfort of their home with their newborn and pets.
Newborn Photography in Glasgow
The joy of a natural newborn photography session in Glasgow is how it feels quite luxurious when you have space to explore! It’s easier to get those candid natural newborn photographs. It also gives a greater range of options for settings . These candid newborn photography sessions are totally natural as well, so no staged poses or awkwardness. Let’s face it, babies look instantly cute without needing unnatural poses! Everything they do at newborn stage, from the wee stretches to how they instinctively curl their toes, lasts only for a few weeks so it’s lovely to capture it with candid photography. Also no awkward poses for you either; just being yourself as a parent, holding your baby close as feels natural to you. This approach to a natural newborn photography session at their home in Glasgow felt authentic to their story.
Personal Touches With Candid Newborn Photos
Wee Rory’s newborn photographs at home also meant we made use of all the personal touches that meant something to them. We were able to use Rory’s toys and blanket, his nursery. Maybe Rory will look back on these photos in the future and they’ll bring back lovely warm childhood memories of his first home in Glasgow. His pets, his toys, and what his nursery looked like at the time. But also to see and appreciate how much his parents adored him from the moment he was born.
I loved exploring their home with them, finding all those wee magic spots that worked so well in these photos. Also, their home is as much a part of the story in these photos as the people and dogs. I’m sure like me, you’ve reminisced over old photos with furniture and rooms that fade into a hazy memory. Photos like this only grow with time to bring it all back to life again.
Including Pets with Newborn Photography
I loved that we were able to include Bella and Penny in this natural family newborn photography session in Glasgow. As a pet owner and parent, I know the special bond that builds between a child and their pets. It never quite feels like it’s a complete family newborn photography session if some of the MVPs are missing! Bella and Penny were so doting to their new “sibling” – and loved being included in a big sofa cuddle! I am all for including family pets in photos, and I’m a total sucker for a cute pooch or two! You just know that Rory is going to grow up with a strong bond with these two furry cuties.
There’s an adage about parenting, that the days are long but the years are short – it doesn’t take long to realise how true this really is! Miriam and David have asked me to continue to document their family adventures with Rory. It’s such an honour to do this, and means he’s going to have a treasure trove of photographs to enjoy as he grows up. I’m really looking forward to sharing more of their family adventures in my blog.
