New Baby Photographers West Yorkshire | Ashton

Leanne and Mikey, Ashton's parents, came to us for a maternity photo session following a recommendation from a fellow professional photographer to one of Leanne and Mikey's friends who wanted to buy them a gift voucher to cover both a pregnancy portrait shoot and a newborn photo session.  

As professional new baby photographers in Castleford, West Yorkshire, we love it when mums and dads to be come to us for a portrait before their baby arrives.  Then we wait excitedly for the news that they are parents and we get a date booked as quickly as possible for their baby's first professional portrait.

The best time for professional new-born photographs is as soon as possible after the baby is born and certainly before ten days.  Ashton was the perfect age at around a week old and this is our favourite image from his new baby portrait session.

A studio portrait session for your baby costs just £35 to include plenty of time for you to relax, feed and change your little one and wait patiently for them to go to sleep so that we can get gorgeous photos like this one.  We have lots of different options for presenting your photographs, from prints in folders which make great gifts for relatives, to framed prints, personalised art prints and montages.

Family Photography West Yorkshire | Portraits for the Smith Family

As family portrait photographers in West Yorkshire, we recently welcomed the Smith family to our studio.  They were such a laugh to work with as Jay has a very funny sense of humour, all of them were really happy and it was obvious that they enjoyed their time with us.  We worked though several ideas for family photographs before giving mum and dad the job of standing behind the camera and helping to make Brooke laugh.  However, she's such a gorgeous smiley baby anyway that it wasn't difficult.  We took  some baby photographs of Brooke on her own before bringing in the brightly coloured tub stack which she loves.  It was hilarious because Cara and I had to stack the tubs whilst Jay held firmly onto Brooke, as she just wanted to crawl to the tub stack and demolish it before we could get it fully assembled.  A great session!

Baby Photographers in Castleford | Alex

     

We were wedding photographers for Claire and Neil when they married in February 2009 and we first met their gorgeous baby boy, Alex, at Neil's sister, Mellisa's wedding to Gareth in February this year.  Claire mentioned that she'd like us to take some baby photographs of Alex and we'd planned to do this, ideally before he started to crawl.  Claire got in touch to tell us that Alex was just starting to get mobile so we got him booked in before he was up and running!  Babies are best photographed when they are new born and the perfect age is five or six days old.  After this, the next time they are great to photograph is when they are sitting solidly but can't yet crawl.  This way, you can get some fabulous expressions and interaction from them but they can't escape!  Alex was so fantastic to photograph, smiling throughout several wardrobe changes and seemingly forgetting the fact that he could crawl a bit.  He sat there smiling and pointing and enjoying watching his mum and dad acting silly to make him laugh.  A lovely baby and a great set of baby pictures, six of which are going to be displayed together in a multi frame.  We really are lucky in that we often become family photographers to our fantastic clients.
