Newborn Family Photography | Welcoming Rufus

I often talk about transformation in my photography; honestly, there’s nothing quite like the one that comes with welcoming a newborn. It’s tender, raw, and quietly powerful, the beginning of an entirely new chapter.

You might have seen the blog post I shared before Rufus arrived, where I photographed his parents glowing with love and anticipation. A maternity session that felt like pure magic, Carrie-Louise, radiant and goddess-like, the wind in her hair. A dreamy, ethereal moment forever frozen in time. I loved every second of it.

Then Rufus arrived, and everything changed once more. Suddenly, the magic looked different, softer, sleepier, slower and just as beautiful.

Come as you are

Bringing home your baby is a big moment, and I feel incredibly lucky to be invited in to document it. During our session, I’ll gently blend into the background, letting you be together as a family. I’ll step in here and there to capture the close-ups: the tiny toes, the long lashes, the way your baby melts into your chest.

This time isn’t about perfection – it’s about connection. It’s about the real, meaningful details that naturally find their way into the photos: the crumpled muslins always on hand, the tiny socks, the way your hand instinctively cradles your baby’s head. The little things that hold so much meaning.

Whether your baby is wide-eyed and feeding, peacefully sleeping, or somewhere in between, we’ll capture it all. These are the moments that make up the beginning of your family’s story.

One day, your little one will be taller than you. But through these photographs, you’ll never forget how small they once were, or how much love filled the room in those early days.

I adore this gallery with Rufus. It’s gentle, honest, and full of feeling. Peaceful. Tired. Deeply in love. A family, transformed once again.

Let’s connect and talk about capturing this chapter for you. I’d be honoured to tell your story.
