Babies

I normally recommend that your new baby is at least 16 weeks old before booking a shoot . Ideally they should be comfortable lying on their stomach and able to lift their heads up for a few minutes at a time , this gives us more options when taking the images .

During the shoot

It is normally best to bring them along wearing the outfit you would like them photographed in , this lessens the risk of them getting upset when dressing them . I can then take some images of them in this outfit and then we can do a nice shot of them wearing just their nappy , [ always a popular image ] . If things are going well at this stage , we can take then take the opportunity to try your baby in a different outfit . As young babies generally get tired very quickly, I try and do this shoot in about 30 minutes , with little breaks in-between .

Viewing your images

A few days after the session , you will be invited along to the studio to view a slideshow of the images captured, these will be shown on a large screen via a digital projector . If you then decide that you would like to purchase images from your photo session , I can arrange to upload these onto my website and you will be given a password to view these online , this way you can view and order them in the comfort of your own home.

Photo shoot opportunity

I am currently looking at booking sessions for younger babies and also for maternity {Bump} style sessions , I am looking for volunteers to do this , so  if you fancy giving this a try , I will give you a free shoot and also a free 10x8 print of your favourite image from the session . Please give me a call if you would like to find out more about any of these sessions .

I would totally recommend my experience with yourself as you put us at ease and have greatly needed patience with children who will not always perform for the camera. Another positive point in my opinion was that there was no pressure to purchase additional photographs.

We are both delighted to have entrusted Ian to capture those first precious pictures of our baby boy. Ian has such a natural way with children that encouraged Shaun to relax and resulted in some fantastic images being captured. We now have treasured pictures of our son's early years and the overall service from Ian was first class and at a very reasonable price as well.
