West Yorkshire Mother and Baby Photography | Adele and Leighton

             

Our latest young client was Leighton, whose mum, Adele, contacted us to ask about a baby portrait session.  We knew from having a chat with Adele that as Leighton was already crawling he would need to be distracted with toys to keep him in one place for more than a split second or otherwise we'd have to be lightning fast to get some photographs of him!  A combination of both, along with plenty of time, lots of cuddles from mum, a bribe in the shape of a bowl of black grapes which he loves, along with a few rice crackers thrown in did the trick.  He looked really cool in this outfit and when he and Adele had some mother and baby photographs taken together, you could see how devoted Adele is to her son.

Baby Photography West Yorkshire | Lexie

Lexie's mum and dad, Emily and Nick, booked us in the spring to photograph their wedding next summer in Leeds.  At the time, Emily was expecting Lexie and we made plans to welcome them for a new baby portrait session as soon as possible after she was born.  For some strange reason, this particular day I'd mentioned to Alex that I thought that Emily and Nick's baby should have arrived by now and so I sent the couple a message to ask them if they were proud parents yet.  Nick replied very quickly to say that their daughter had arrived the very same day, six days late, mum and baby were doing well, and could he make arrangements to bring her in for her new baby photographs.  Usually, babies of a few days old are sleepy and as such, can be molded into some very cute shapes which look fabulous on photographs and for this reason, we recommend them being photographed before ten days old whilst they still have the new baby look.  As it was, Lexie, at just six days old, had other ideas and only napped for a couple of minutes at a time!  We are really looking forward to capturing her mum and dad's wedding day and to seeing her grow from a tiny baby into a pretty little girl.

New baby portraits for Megan   

In November this year, we will be Gemma and Andy's wedding photographers when they tie the knot in a civil ceremony at Monk Fryston Hall.  When the couple came to book, they were excitedly awaiting the arrival of a brother or sister for their daughter, Lola, and it was fantastic to hear the happy news that she had a new baby sister, Megan, who made her entrance on New Year's Day - 1.1.11 - what a birthday!  Gemma and Andy brought Megan into the studio for her first professional baby photography session.  She was ten days' old when they came in and at the point where she still had that gorgeous new baby look.  The ideal time for these first pictures is between birth and ten days' old, so we just made it!  A personalised blanket, a gift from Megan's grandma, just had to be included in some of the pictures.  Megan did oblige by falling asleep for long enough to get these beautiful baby photographs.
