How My Style has Evolved as a Newborn Photographer

My Photography Style: A Beautiful Blend of Posed & Candid Newborn Photography

As a newborn photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing one of the most precious times in a family’s life: the early days of a newborn's life. Over time, my photography style has evolved into something truly unique — a hybrid of posed and candid newborn photography. This approach allows me to deliver a collection of images that are both timeless and intimate, capturing the natural beauty of your baby, as well as their subtle expressions and moments.

When I first began my journey in newborn photography, my focus was solely on mastering the art of posing. I dedicated countless hours to perfecting each pose, ensuring that every shot was perfectly styled and every tiny detail was captured with precision. For years, this was my primary focus, and I prided myself on creating beautiful, posed newborn portraits that parents could cherish forever. However, over time, as I gained more experience and confidence behind the camera, I began to realize that my style was evolving. I started experimenting with more natural poses and allowing newborns to move more freely, which led me to discover a deeper appreciation for candid moments. I began capturing those unplanned, spontaneous instances – a sweet yawn, a gentle stretch, or a parent’s tender kiss – and I realized how much they added to the story I was telling. This shift allowed me to blend the technical expertise of posing with the warmth and authenticity of candid newborn photography, creating a style that feels both timeless and personal. Now, I love the balance of both approaches, and the joy of capturing not just perfectly posed images, but the genuine moments that make each newborn session so unique.

Here’s a deeper look into my photography style and what you can expect when you book a newborn photoshoot with me.

The Best of Both Worlds: Posed & Candid Photography

One of the things I love most about my approach is how it combines two distinct styles of newborn photography: posed and candid. Both styles have their place, and I believe each brings something special to the final collection of images.

• Posed Newborn Photography: These carefully crafted shots are all about showcasing your baby’s delicate features in an artful way. Posed newborn photography requires an expert who understands how to safely and gently position the baby, ensuring their comfort while achieving those perfect, classic shots. It’s a delicate balance of technique, patience, and experience, which is why trusting a seasoned professional is essential to capturing these precious moments beautifully.

• Candid Newborn Photography: Candid newborn images are so precious because they capture the raw, authentic moments that tell the true story of a newborn’s first days. Whether it’s a tiny yawn, a stretch, or a sweet kiss from a sibling, these natural, unposed moments reflect the pure emotions and connections between family members. They bring a sense of life and warmth to the photos, reminding parents of the fleeting, magical details that make this time so special. These images preserve the intimacy and joy of everyday moments, making them even more meaningful as the years go by.

  I’ve spent years refining my hybrid approach to newborn photography, and I’m so proud of how my style has evolved over time. By combining posed and candid shots, and focusing on a simple, neutral, and timeless aesthetic, I can create images that truly capture the essence of your newborn’s first days and the bond you share as a family.

  If you’re looking for a newborn photographer who can create a blend of stunning posed portraits and heartfelt candid moments, I would love to work with you and your family. Together, we’ll preserve these fleeting moments in a way that you can cherish forever.
