Maternity Photos ($495)
Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive bundle of joy! This is such an exciting and magical time in your life, and what better way to capture and preserve these precious memories than with beautiful and timeless portraits. By documenting your pregnancy journey, you'll have the opportunity to share these heartfelt moments with your son or daughter in the future, creating a cherished connection between you and your growing family.
If you find yourself feeling a little anxious about the photo session, please don't worry! As an experienced photographer, I have had the pleasure of working with countless pregnant mothers and their partners, understanding the importance of making you feel comfortable and at ease during the session. My top priority is to ensure that you not only look stunning in the photos, but also feel relaxed and enjoy the experience.
When it comes to the location of the shoot, I offer flexibility and can arrange for the session to take place in Orange, Bathurst, or somewhere else in the Central West region. Outdoor location in mind? Or prefer a portrait in my home studio in Blayney? Either is fine with me!
NEWBORN Photos (from $895)
Capturing the Purest Moments
Welcoming a new member into your family is a cherished experience filled with love and joy. At Art & Soul Photography, we specialise in newborn photography to help you preserve these precious moments in the most beautiful and meaningful way.
Our newborn photography sessions are designed to capture the innocence and tenderness of your newborn during those fleeting early days. Here's what you can expect from our newborn photography sessions:
1. Gentle and Patient Approach: Penny is an experienced photographer, and a qualified physiotherapist, who understands the delicate nature of newborns. She approachs each session with patience, care, and a deep respect for your baby's comfort and safety.
2. Artistic Posing: We create timeless portraits that showcase your baby's unique features, capturing their tiny fingers, delicate eyelashes, and adorable expressions. Our artistic posing techniques bring out the best in your newborn.
3. Simple style, so that baby is the focus.
4. Family Involvement: We encourage family members, including siblings, to be part of the session. These moments of togetherness create heartwarming family portraits that you will cherish.
A typical newborn photography session with us is a calm and enjoyable experience for both you and your baby. Here's a general overview of how a session may go:
1. Pre-Session Consultation: We start by discussing your preferences and any specific ideas you have for the session. This consultation helps us plan the session to align with your vision.
2. Session Timing: Newborns are most cooperative and sleepy during their first two to three weeks of life. Therefore, we recommend scheduling your session within this timeframe to capture those adorable, peaceful poses.
3. Comfort and Safety: Throughout the session, we prioritise your baby's comfort and safety. We ensure the studio environment is warm and soothing, and we handle your newborn with the utmost care.
4. Posing and Photography: We carefully pose your baby in adorable setups, using soft props and blankets. Our photographer will capture a variety of shots, including close-ups of tiny details and heart-warming family portraits.
5. Editing and Presentation: After the session, we meticulously edit and retouch the images to enhance their beauty while maintaining a natural look. You will be presented with a gallery of stunning photos.
Benefits of Photographing Babies Under 3 Weeks of Age:
Photographing your newborn within the first three weeks of life offers several advantages:
1. Sleepiness and Flexibility: Newborns under three weeks old tend to sleep deeply and are more flexible, making it easier to achieve those adorable, curled-up poses.
2. Freshness and Newness: Capturing your baby's features during their earliest days preserves the pure essence of their new life, including their tiny fingers, toes, and delicate features.
3. Precious Memories: These images serve as a timeless keepsake, allowing you to revisit the precious moments of your baby's arrival and growth, long after they have outgrown their tiny, newborn phase.
At Art & Soul Photography, we believe in capturing the beauty and innocence of newborns, creating timeless portraits that will become cherished heirlooms. Our goal is to provide you with an unforgettable experience that celebrates the love and joy your newborn brings into your life.
Contact us today to schedule your newborn photography session and let us help you create stunning memories of your baby's earliest days.
