Newborn Photo Shoot with Sunshine Yoga


When a new baby arrives your life is suddenly turned upside down and you are bound to your babies every need. Itā€™s a beautiful time to get a shoot so it can be documented and remembered, as moment by moment your baby changes.

When I arrived for Jasminaā€™s shoot, she was needing a little clean, so I captured her having a little bath. Matt delicately washed Jasmina as she kicked so happily in the water.

I spent an hour or so with Stephanie, Matt, Jasmina and her grannies and observed all their little interactions and activities.

At home shoots are great. You donā€™t have the stress of getting everything ready and getting out the door and you capture your babyā€™s first home, their nursery and their first toys. When you look back in years to come, youā€™ll see their favourite toy all fluffy and new before the years of love wear it down to a fabulously floppy, loved looking rag.

Stephanie is from the Netherlands so I was offered a lovely beschuit. Giving a beschuit is a tradition in the Netherlands to celebrate the birth of a child. They are sprinkled with pink and white muisjes when a girl is born, and with blue and white muisjes when a boy is born. Muisjes are seeds from the anise plant which are covered in a sugary coating.

ā€œThe pictures are absolutely beautiful and we feel so blessed that her 7 day birthday got captured in such a wonderful way.ā€
