Children's and Family Photographer in Warwickshire and the Midlands

Okay, so spring doesn't officially start until 20 March but today feels like the new season has sprung and my bookings diary is starting to bloom like the flowers outside.  I'm in awe of the mums who are so organised that they are already making enquiries and bookings for their half term and summer holiday family portrait sessions.  I can live in hope that one day I'll be as organised with my two boys!

With the sun shining outside I thought I'd post one of my favourite pictures from recent weeks.  It's from a follow up shoot I did with baby Orla-Anais, whose pictures I first took when she was newborn.  I love this baby portrait - it's fresh and natural, and to me perfectly sums up that most precious feeling when your baby snuggles into your shoulder...just beautiful!

To book an on location portrait session for newborn photography, baby photography, children's photography or family photography this spring, please visit my website or call me on 07717 847125 / 01789 261922.  You can check out all my work as a children's photographer in Warwickshire and the Midlands in my galleries too.



Newborn photography, Leamington Spa

Being invited to photograph newborn babies is one of the very special privileges of my job as a children's photographer in Warwickshire.  Documenting those wonderfully intimate family moments during the first days or weeks of a baby's life at home is something I shall never grow tired of.

Today's post features Teddy, who, after a rather traumatic entrance into the world, had only recently returned home after a stay in hospital when I visited him in Leamington Spa for his newborn portrait shoot.  Teddy was incredibly alert for such a new baby and he spent much of the portrait session wide awake, intrigued by the clicking and whirring of the camera.  This made for some lovely shots that really showcase Teddy's piercing eyes and which show what a real his little character he already is.

The newborn portrait session at home was wonderfully relaxed as we took time out for Teddy's feeds and naps, and chatted about the joys (and tiredness) of new motherhood!  Spending a morning in Teddy's company made me realise just how fast my own two boys are growing up and how much pleasure I get from creating photographs that in years to come will remind other parents of just how tiny their precious children once were.

Baby photography in Worcestershire

As a children's and baby photographer in the Midlands I am lucky to meet many many beautiful children, and little Molly, who is the star of today's post, is certainly no exception.  I visited Molly, mum Charlotte and dad Edd for their family portrait session at home in Droitwich and there we spent a wonderfully relaxed morning capturing some beautiful natural light portraits. 

Wide awake for most of the baby portrait session, Molly was an absolute joy to photograph.  She was mesmerised by the clicking of the camera and loved looking straight into the lens (a dream for any photographer!), and the resulting shots really highlight her incredible eyes.

Below is a selection of my favourite shots from this lovely baby portrait session in Worcestershire.  To see more pictures from the shoot and other examples of my children's and family photography in the Midlands, please visit my website at http://www.sophiehewittphotography.co.uk/

Newborn photography in the Midlands

Being commissioned for a newborn portrait photography session is always a real privilege and it's one of the favourite aspects of my job as a children's and family photographer in the Midlands.  Photographing tiny little miracles during the first few weeks of their brand new lives and capturing truly special moments to be cherished forever is a genuine pleasure and something I'm sure I shall never grow tired of.

Today's post features a selection of black and white portrait photographs from a recent newborn portrait session in Sutton Coldfield.  At just three weeks old little Orla-Anais was the perfect petite model. Wearing the cutest 'tights and tutu' combo, and snoozing in a wonderful slumber for most of the session, she allowed me to capture some lovely serene portraits.

As always, I used natural light and shot on location to create the relaxed portrait photographs.  My personal favourites are the first and last images shown below - isn't she just beautiful!

I hope you enjoy these images of baby photography in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands.  For more examples of my work as an on location baby photographer in Warwickshire and the Midlands please visit my website at http://www.sophiehewittphotography.co.uk/

Children's Photography in Warwickshire

As a children's photographer in Warwickshire I am lucky to have many many beautiful places to choose from for my on location portrait photo shoots.  Today's post features some of my favourite images from a recent shoot with five-year-old Jack and his younger brother Josh, which involved me donning my wellies for a wonderful river walk!

We started the natural light portrait session with Jack and Josh hunting for fish and mini beasts in the babbling stream near to their nana's beautiful rural home.  Mum Fru had come well prepared with waterproof boots for the boys, but when a game of Star Wars ensued (using river reeds as impromptu light-sabres - very inventive!) the brothers became rather soggy.  After a warming hot chocolate and quick tumble dry of socks and soggy jeans at nana's house we continued the on location portrait shoot in the grounds and gardens surrounding the house.  Winter is such as wonderful time for outdoor children's photography and the cold crisp day resulted in some lovely natural light portraits.

The shoot lasted the whole morning and during that time I was able to capture a really diverse range of shots.  I hope the boys will treasure the photos in years to come - especially the ones that show the real bond between them.

Baby photography in Warwickshire

It was a pleasure to know that on Christmas Day there were clients of mine opening beautiful canvases, frames and prints of their baby and children's portrait sessions.  Some were surprise gifts, so up until now I've not wanted to reveal any of the images from those particular shoots.  But now all the gifts are unwrapped and the new year is upon us I can finally share some of my favourites. 

Today's post features a selection of shots from a black and white baby portrait session in Warwickshire.  I visited eleven month old Zac and his mum Madeleine for their family portrait session at home.  The adorable Zac spent the morning playing with his favourite toys, showing off his new winter wardbrobe (love that hat!) and rolling around with his equally gorgeous dog Rocco.  Pet portaits are not a speciality of mine, but Rocco was just too handsome (and not to mention cheeky) to pass up getting some shots! 

As with all of my child and family portrait sessions, I used natural light and many different locations in the house during the shoot.  This resulted in a great variety of black and white baby portrait photos that show all the different sides of Zac's personality - from quiet moments with mum, and rough and tumble with Rocco, to cheeky peek-a-boo grins.  Below are just a few of my favourites.
