Baby photography and family photos on location in Bournemouth, Dorset

Leave a Comment

Andy contacted me to arrange a family photo shoot at their home in Bournemouth. They have recently had their first child so also wanted some baby photography of their Son. It was their first professional photo shoot together, Heidi was a little nervous at first, but after chatting and taking time to relax in the comfort of their own home, we were able to get some nice photos.

Here are a few of the photos from the family and baby shoot, with examples of different types of post production:

Baby photography – newborn baby Millie’s first photo shoot

Leave a Comment

I met baby Millie a few weeks ago when she was only 4 days old. I was honoured to have the opportunity to photograph her so new to the world. Newborn babies are so cute, just love their little hands and feet.

Michaela had not been out of hospital long, so we arranged the shoot in the comfort of her home, natural and relaxed I find using the simplest of setups, on a bed, sofa or even a kitchen table allows for great locations in the home with no need for complex studio equipment.

After spending about an hour photographing Millie, in between a feed and cuddles from her Mom, we managed to capture her baby cuteness.

Here are some of the baby photos from the shoot:

Bump photography – maternity and new born photographer in Dorset

Bump photography by Bournemouth family photographer - scan

I met up with Sarah at her friends home in the New Forest in Hampshire to take some ‘bump’ photos for her. Sarah is expecting her second child, her Son Jayden was also able to make an appearance. She did not have any taken when she was pregnant previously and really wanted to have some done this time round, documenting the special time of pregnancy.

By arranging to do the shoot in relaxed surroundings it allows everyone taking part to enjoy themselves and no need to travel to a studio.

It was a pleasure to do the shoot, I think Sarah looks beautiful and glowing like an expectant mother should :)

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting 4 day old new born baby Millie yesterday. Baby’s are so fascinating to watch, pulling all sorts of different facial expressions and making cute little noises.

The second part of the shoot we walked over to the bay, with an amazing view of Brownsea Island in the late evening sun.

After taking a few more portraits around the bay we walked up to Evening Hill to watch the sunset. This is where they had part of their wedding celebrations 2 years ago this month. With beautiful views over the bay, this location is a favourite for locals to eat their fish and chips watching the sunset.

We were able to get so many wonderful photos, here are just a few more from the shoot:

Portrait photography – maternity and wedding anniversary – Rachel & Darren part 1

Rachel and Darren’s second year wedding anniversary is this month and Rachel is also 6 months pregnant. So what a great opportunity for a combined wedding anniversary and pregnancy ‘bump’ portrait shoot.

Part of their wedding celebrations took place at Evening Hill near Sandbanks in Poole, so we thought what a perfect location to do the portrait shoot. Rachel and Darren are a lovely couple, madly in love, it was a pleasure to photograph them. We spent almost 2 hours taking candid and posed portraits at Sandbanks, Poole harbour and Evening Hill.

Got some lovely shots including reliving the wedding couples ‘first dance’ on the beach:

Randall and his proud parents

It’s an honour to have the opportunity to photograph proud parents with their beautiful new born children. It’s such a special time for them.  I always prefer to travel to them to ensure they are all in comfortable surroundings.

I arranged to visit the family’s home in Southampton, where they wished to have the shoot done.

Christine and Dan – expecting parents – “bump” photography

Leave a Comment

Pregnancy is a very special time and it’s great to be able to capture this for expecting parents. Christine called me and asked if I could produce some ‘bump’ photos for her.

I arranged to go to their house in Christchurch, Dorset, where I spent about am hour photographing Christine in the comfort of their own home.  We did a few shots outdoors, it was a rather overcast day, but took advantage of the soft light and got some lovely photos.

Check out some examples from the shoot in their gallery:
