Oh my heart I can’t believe I’ve photographed this gorgeous family so many times now! I did big brother’s newborn and cake smash, then these two when they were tiny newborns… and now their first birthday cake smash! Mum went for a neutral cloud theme and it turned out absolutely dreamy, soft, simple and oh so cute. I’m just finishing up their gallery and honestly, I can’t stop smiling going through these photos! #CakeSmashSession #TwinBirthday #BabyMilestones #CloudTheme #NeutralVibes #SamanthaJadePhotography #BabyPhotographer #MilestoneMagic #CakeSmashFun

What an absolute dream this little one was in the studio! From the moment he arrived, he completely stole my heart. Those adorable chubby cheeks and squishy baby rolls were just too cute for words. Every pose showed off his perfect features, and he was such a calm, sleepy baby throughout his session despite his Mummy worrying because he doesn't stay still... We styled his session using a mix of neutral tones and soft blues, creating a calm and timeless look that works beautifully in any home. These classic colours always photograph so well and really draw attention to baby’s sweet expressions and perfect little details. It was so lovely having Mum and Nani in the studio too. You could truly feel the love between the generations. Those family portraits are full of warmth, tenderness, and pride. I always love capturing these connections; they’re the kind of images that families treasure forever. Originally, Nani (who was very excited) had booked my middle package, but after seeing the beautiful gallery, she decided to upgrade to the top collection — and I don’t blame her! Every image is beautiful, and it was impossible to choose just a few favourites, even for me! I was over the moon when they also decided to book their cake smash session for next year and take advantage of my special offer.... I already can’t wait to see how much he’s grown by then! This session was such a amazing from start to finish — full of love, laughter, and those precious first memories.

At Samantha Jade Photography, my mission is to create timeless memories that families can cherish for a lifetime. I understand the fleeting nature of these precious early days, and my goal is to freeze these moments in time. The photographs from Liara's session will serve as a beautiful reminder of her early days and the love that surrounds her. The newborn session for Liara was a truly magical experience, not only with how well this gorgeous little bundle modelled but the experience with her parents also. Through the beige, gold, and pinks of which her parents selected, I was able to create a dreamy and elegant atmosphere that perfectly showcased her beauty. I am grateful to Liara's parents for entrusting me to capture these precious moments and preserving them for generations to come.

Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing an adorable little boy's cake smash and splash session, - a dinosaur blue and green theme! The studio was set up with a vibrant blue and green backdrop from Props for Togs, dinosaur-themed props, and a custom-made cake that perfectly matched the theme brought by the clients as well as a personalised outfit for little B. As a newborn photographer, I understand the importance of capturing genuine emotions and expressions. Throughout the cake smash session, I focused on capturing the little boy's wide-eyed wonder, and pure joy. Every moment was carefully documented, ensuring that his personality and happiness shone through in each photograph. After the cake smash, it was time for a refreshing splash session. A mini bathtub filled with warm water and bath toys awaited our little adventurer. With splashes and bubbles, he enjoyed the water, creating adorable moments that were captured forever. His big sister ( who i photographed in 2022 for her cake smash and splash ) also took the opportunity to jump in the bath afterwards. At Samantha Jade Photography, my goal is to create lasting memories that families can cherish for a lifetime as well as a fun, messy experience. This dinosaur blue and green themed cake smash and splash session was a perfect example of this. The photographs captured the essence of the little boy's personality, his love for dinosaurs, and the joy he experienced during the session. The dinosaur blue and green themed cake smash and splash session was a roaring success. It was a pleasure to witness the pure happiness and excitement of the little boy as he celebrated his milestone in such a unique and fun way.

A Newborn Session to Cherish ForeverWelcoming a newborn into the world is a magical experience filled with joy, love, and wonder. As a photographer, I have the privilege of capturing these precious moments, freezing them in time for families to cherish for a lifetime. It is moments like these that remind me why I am passionate about capturing life's most precious moments through the lens of my camera and why newborn sessions are my favourite.            THE PERFECT AGE FOR A NEWBORN SESSIONThe perfect age for a newborn sessions is... well, you can't pin point it. However, I can advise from personal experience to get the squishy tiny newborn portraits that the best age is between 5 and 14 days although this doesn't mean you won't get the curled up squishy photographs after the 14 days, you absolutely can.... with a bit of patience. ALL babies are different and I have had babies who have been 7 days old be really unsettled, or hate being curled up and on the other hand I have had babies be around 6-8 weeks old, slept like a dream and curled right up!

   Did that headline grab your attention?Other than advice from my own experience, all I can personally say is what works for you, may not work for others. As we are all aware, everyone, even babies... are different and no two are the same, well, unless you are a twin? SO HOW DO I GET A BABY TO SLEEP DURING A NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION? 99% of the time, I have a baby into a nice deep sleep within 10-20 minutes after their feed and wind and I believe the trick to this is mainly by staying relaxed with the baby and helping them fall into that nice deep sleep. Tricks I use ALL the time is white noise. YES! White noise, now I know a lot of my clients use this already, but I do get the odd client wow'ed by it and insist " We are using that tonight". I have my white noise playing on my Alexa in the studio from babies arrival, until they have left. HEAT! Not direct heat, but because your baby is going to stripped down to nothing, to keep them happy it's best to have a nice warm studio for them, however it does make us fully clothed adults feel a little stuffy sometimes. SWADDLES! I swaddle as a last resort these days, as said above, no two babies are the same and not all sink into that deep sleep well enough for photographs, so sometimes I swaddles and get the baby nice and content that way. (See photo above!) Still makes for great portraits tho! UPON ARRIVAL, IT WILL GO A BIT LIKE THIS... -WHITE NOISE ON!! - Strip baby down to nappy - Feed, feed, feed baby. A newborn trainer taught me this trick and my gosh, it has worked a trick since! Feed them, so they are milky drunk. The fuller and more content they are, the better the session will go. - After baby has been fed, I will then take them from you and sit them up right ready for their first photography, usually at this stage, the heater is on full and sometimes a dummy will be given if needed, but not always. - Sometimes, a little stroke on the forhead and a little rock on my chair. THEN SLEEP! How I check that the baby is in a good sleep is by picking up their arm, if they pull it back and are tense, baby is not ready for portraits, however, if the arm is loose and floppy, your baby is in a deep enough sleep to continue. Those little tricks work wonders for photography newborn sessions.     We had a newborn photoshoot in January 2023 and Samantha was amazing. So friendly and made us feel comfortable in her studio. She explained everything thoroughly and was very patient and calm, taking her time to make sure our baby was settled and content throughout the whole shoot. The photos were incredible, I even cried 3 times at some of the shots she was getting! Samantha was also extremely quick at getting the proof pictures over to us and super quick getting the final edits back to us. I would 100% recommend Samantha to anyone wanting a relaxed but professional newborn shoot! Thanks again ☺️ xxxx  January started off with lots of newborns and although I can't share all of them, I thought today was a good idea to post a little insight into this gorgeous little mans newborn photography session here at my studio " Samantha Jade Photography " Just over a week ago he visited with his lovely mummy and daddy for a newborn portrait session and boy he did good.  This little mans parents had booked months in advance a provisional date but due to little man arriving a little early, we kept that date for his session. Mummy and Daddy wanted the session to be filled with whites, creams, you know, my favourite neutral tones <3    |
