At Samantha Jade Photography, I have the privilege of capturing the most precious moments in a family's life. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a newborn session for the adorable little girl named Liara. Using beige, gold, and pinks through this session, the aesthetics we're perfect. 

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.

If you're expecting a little one and would like to create your own unforgettable newborn session, I would be honored to be a part of your journey. Contact me at [email protected] today and let me capture the magic of your baby's early days.

A Dinosaur Blue and Green Themed Cake Smash and Splash Session with Samantha Jade Photography in hull, east yorkshire

10/19/2023

0 Comments

 
I believe in creating magical and memorable moments for families to cherish forever. 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. If you're looking to create magical memories for your little one, consider a themed cake smash and splash session with me. Contact me today and let me capture the joy and wonder of your child's special moments. HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY!!

A Delightful Lilac floral Themed Cake Smash Photoshoot with Samantha Jade Photography // Hull

10/16/2023

In the world of photography, capturing precious moments and creating lasting memories is an art form. Recently, I had the pleasure of witnessing a truly adorable and enchanting lilac floral themed cake smash and splash photoshoot, filled with laughter, joy, and a whole lot of cake! Oh and mess! 

As the little one, dressed in an adorable cream romper with lilac flowers had her sibling portraits with her big sister, the room was filled with excitement and anticipation on how she would react to a giant cake smash and splash. Would she do messier than her big sisters cake smash?

If you're looking to capture the magic of a special occasion, I highly recommend entrusting your memories with me at Samantha Jade Photography.

Top ways to make a baby sleep like a… // Samantha Jade Photograpyhy - Hull

newborn and family portraits hull

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.

Lucca's Cake Smash and Splash - Samantha Jade Photography - Hull

Lucca during his mini session. The past before the cake smash when everyone stays nice and clean.
Lucca <3 
I first met Lucca last year, he had a newborn session with me, but due to lockdown it was postponed till April therefore he was a few months old for the session. A couple of weeks ago, he celebrated his first birthday and a couple of days before he had pre celebrations in my photography studio, with a cake smash and splash photography session. He certainly kept his Daddy on his toes during the shoot. I love this gallery so much.

Well Christmas holidays was over in a flash, but I am glad to be back working and doing what I love. 
The first gallery of 2022 was completed last week and sent over to my client, from a lovely little newborn session. This family have visited me numerous of times before so it was a pleasure to be able to capture their newest addition to the family.

This gallery is just really fresh and clean looking, I can certainly see myself creating some gorgeous wall art for my studio with some of the images from this newborn photography session.

Alice's Cake Smash Session, Hull

Cake Smash and Splash Photography

At my cosy little home studio in Hull, Kingswood
Samantha Jade Photography


Alice and her family have been visiting my studio for over 5 years! Her Mummy is a very loyal client of mine and I'd like to say has become a friend also. Her big brother (who is always amazing during his photography sessions) has had many photography sessions with me at the studio, from portrait sessions, cake smashes, all types of mini sessions, sibling sessions, you name it! Alice is also following in his foot steps. 

Portraits are really important to my client, she can not get enough of them. Children grow and change so quick, so getting those professional photographs are a priority for my client, and most families who return over and over again. 

Here are some photographs from Alice's Cake Smash and Splash session here at Samantha Jade Photography (Hull).

cake smash hull
Is they a better way to celebrate a 1st birthday? A whole giant gorgeous, yummy cake to eat and play with! For most babies, it's their first experience of tasting something sweet and capturing their expressions is a fab way of marking that 1st birthday milestone. My cake smash sessions can be almost any theme of your choice, I have lots of themes to choose from however I am always open to suggestions should you have an idea in mind about what theme you'd like.

It's always a pleasure to have a customer back in my photography studio numerous times, and watching their little bundles of joy grow. Drew's had multi photo shoots with me, with his aunts and nannas, cousins and his mummy! He is such a little cutie and amazing to photograph!

When his Mummy asked for this themed cake smash, I was all over it. I do love a good neutral themed set up and just how gorgeous is this cake smash and splash.

Freddie's Cake Smash and Splash!

4/16/2021

On Friday 16th April little Freddie visited the studio for his 1st birthday cake smash and splash photo-shoot! 
Prior to the shoot, Freddie's Mum had mentioned in the pre cake smash questionnaire that Freddie was a little shy... I think you will see from the photographs you are about to see that Freddie... was not shy. Freddie had LOTS OF FUN!

Also known as a mini session. Parents are welcome to join in the mini session when purchasing the top package at no extra cost.

I always start my birthday sessions with a mini portrait shoot, which also include a few props for little one to play about with and on. Usually, for a shy child, the little moon stool works great for the curious mind...

The mini photo-shoot can include siblings and parents at an additional cost, however there is no extra charge with the top birthday package for this. 

These mini sessions last about 10-15 minutes, a great way for me to quickly learn how your baby reacts to me, and for me to get to know them quickly! 
Picture
Ohhh what is this?!
Freddie didn't eat much of his cake, and that's ok, because this cake is for playing with and that's exactly what Freddie did! It's all about capturing their experience with something that is meant to be their first experience of something sweet and sugary.
