Newborn Photography

New baby girl with her big sister


Oh my goodness me, what a fab photoshoot today.
Aliza Beau (don't you just love that name), came in with her big sister Jasmine Rae for her first professional photoshoot.
To say they both rocked the shoot is an understatement, they were both so well behaved it was an absolute pleasure and was done and dusted in about 2.5 hours.
Mum and girls are all so photogenic, it was difficult to choose which photos to show, we kept the breast feeding images private, so that helped, then just randomly picked the rest as they are all so beautiful.

Here are a selection of the images mum chose.
I was lucky enough to hold the baby whilst mum looked at all the photos, then bought them all, well, who could resist...





Thank you so much for bringing your babies to be photographed at the Dove Photography Studio, it is a privilege that we never take for granted.

Much Love

Cake Smash Photoshoots Blackpool



Cake Smash

What is a cake Smash

Well....
A cake smash is held at the end of a fabulous 1st birthday photoshoot, all the beautiful photos have been taken, your child in his/her gorgeous birthday clothes.
Little girls in tutu and pearls, little boys dressed in their best...
Then... Out comes the cake!!














Gorgeous Harley was up for anything, the messier the better AND so was daddy.
The lovely cake was dipped into by Harley, but that wasn't messy enough for daddy, 
he proceeded to scoop out the middle of the cake and add...
 Chocolate Yoghurt...very runny, very messy and great fun!!














Princess Reeva on the other hand liked to examine her cake, squish her hands into the firm icing and feel it go squidgy through her fingers, she was having a fab time eating this specially made cake and NO-ONE was going to take it off her.
Gorgeous child, beautiful images, I ended up having a 40 x 30 canvas made for the studio, it makes me smile every day.

Finally, the little one is wiped down and taken home for a bath and a well earned rest, the images are edited and shown in the studio a week or 2 later when mummy and daddy choose their wall portraits.
All framed images are hand made by a local craftsman in beautiful quality frames.
Every time I pick up the framed portraits, I marvel at how amazing the finished product looks, and cant wait to see them on the walls. 

To book your child's first birthday photoshoot and include the free cake smash  (you buy the cake), phone Sheila on...

Newborn portraits in Blackpool

Newborn Babies


Newborns shoots are amazing, squidgy little fingers and toes, little bits of dry skin and milk spots, tired mummies and daddies who brave the elements to capture their baby for memories that will last a life time.
Baby will never be this tiny again in his whole life, a miracle trusted in my care to get all the photos we need to document this amazing time in his life.

I am honoured to be a newborn photographer, I have received training by the best to ensure I am up to date and fully aware of baby safety.
Although I had 4 children in 4 years myself, its good to know that Im still doing it right, this tiny babys mum called me the baby whisperer which I loved.
My experience and love of babies and children shows in my work, parents feel safe letting me hold and photograph their special bundle. For that I am truly grateful, and moved, as I know I would want only the best and most experienced of photographers handling my baby.

The Session


The session is usually held before baby is 10/12 days old as they are still curly (not an official term ha ha) and bendy and look amazing in props. There is no time limit, and nobody will be turned away if their baby is a little older, but it would be unrealistic to expect all asleep and newbaby shots when your child is now alert and taking everything in (yes, even at that age they take in so much information, they are learning all the time).
The session can take up to 3 hours, but mum and dad can rest in that time, read a book, fall asleep, just watch (which many do) and see how its done.
Props and clothes can be chosen beforehand or left to me, usually a favourite toy is brought in and sneaked into a photo with love.
After the shoot, about a week later, mummy, daddy, grandma and grandpa (if wanted) come to the viewing and purchasing session, where they can shed a tear of happiness at the slideshow and beautiful images (I cry too, it can be very emotional).

Viewing and purchasing appointment


Once purchased, the goods are ordered and delivered within 2/3 weeks, customers usually keep in touch on facebook and let me know how baby is doing and book straight away when #2 #3 and occasionally #4 are expected.
I love being your family photographer, your children will love the magic studio settings where gorgeous family images are captured along with the beautiful newborn photos.

Here is a little look at last weeks baby, amazing little Oliver, pride and joy of his mummy and daddy, and, a delight to photograph.




Thankyou Oliver Samuel, you are beautiful, and ROCKED the new Easter Bunny costume :-)

Easter Newborn Portraits 2015

Easter 2015


Easter is so early this year, I'm looking forward to the holidays and the nicer weather.
Ive knitted a spring chick outfit and am so excited to be photographing babies in an Easter basket surrounded by little eggs.

Beautiful little newborns, I love dressing them up, creating amazing memories (and embarrassing stories about how they poooooood all over the place) for when they are older.

Here is a shoot I did for Marleigh (without embarrassing cute props)...
Gorgeous new baby xxx

New Photography Studio in Bispham Blackpool


I am so excited, my new studio opens tomorrow 4th Feb 2014, well, I say it opens, I have the keys, and tomorrow, me, my friend and one of my sons will be moving my furniture in to create the Dove Photography Studio.
It wont take much as its lovely as it is, I just need a little bit of creativity, some backdrops, lights, my big red leather Chesterfield chair and... Voila...

It all started when I went for a crochet lesson. I called in at a lovely craft shop on Red Bank Road in Bispham Blackpool.
Like a lot of crafty women, I cannot walk past a wool shop without drooling (sad I know) over gorgeous colours and textures of new yarn. I wouldn't mind, but I have bags full of fabric and wool, gadgets and needles in my loft.
I only wanted to look (hmmm, Iv'e said that before ha ha).

Anyway, somehow Wendy (the craft shop owner) and I got chatting about crochet, before I knew it I had booked myself a lesson.
(I can actually crochet (lol) but needed to be able to finish off the ends of rows).

An hours lesson turned into 3, chatting and crocheting non stop and as I was leaving I decided to ask if she wanted someone in her shop. She said yes and that was it!!!

I actually did go away and think about it, 2 days is a long time for me to think about something so deeply, I showed my friend and my children, then decided to go for it. You only have one life, no point in getting old and wishing you had done it and not just talked about it.

This is how I saw the space whilst I was having my crochet lesson.



I fell in love with it. My signage is now up and Im raring to go.

All I have to do now is fill it with gorgeous New Born babies in baskets, Mums to be, families and surprisingly,doggies.

Yes, one of the first people to book a shoot is the owner of a fabulous little pooch. How exciting.

Well, I have to go and pack all my lovely gear ready for tomorrow...

More photos to follow with tales of my gorgeous little studio in all its loveliness.
