Devon & Cornwall Newborn Photographer
There are a lot of rules in photography. Right ways of doing things, technical stuff, you know? There are a lot of rules in posed newborn photography too. I used to worry a lot about the rules. I was always seeking perfection: many, many hours spent in the studio meticulously posing and styling. Until one day, I just stopped, I looked at this tiny baby on a grey blanket in front of me, and I thought, “what am I doing?”. This isn’t the way I want to photograph a new life. I want to capture real moments that tell a story of who they are right now. Moments that mean something.
I call it natural newborn photography. Embracing the reality of those first hazy weeks of life with your new baby. Focusing on the moments that really matter. The moments that tell the story of when you welcome your baby into your world. What that looks like and, most importantly, what it feels like.
The best thing is there is no studio. I’ll come to you and document your life, the big details and the little ones too.
If you are expecting a baby and would like to chat about booking a natural newborn session, I’d love to hear from you. You can contact me at hello@melaniegrace.co.uk.
