Edinburgh Newborn Photography Studio.

Baby Whisperer

Not every photographer can capture beautiful newborn portraits. To truly be able to work with newborn babies, it takes great knowledge, care, and intuition to be able to capture a connection with your baby.

You are looking for someone who will be able to understand your baby’s needs, the emotional bond you have with your newborn baby, and who can capture their story in beautiful portraits that you will be proud to display on your walls.

If you want your newborn photographer to be one who is known as a baby whisperer, to be one of the best – even trusted to teach the National Qualification in Newborn photography diploma, to be one of the most reviewed newborn photographers in Edinburgh, and to be a proud supporter of various baby and animal charities, you have come to the right place.

Don’t just take my word for it. Read hundreds of reviews.

Newborn Photography at its best!

Kind words

“Letting a complete stranger hold your child may be daunting but I can honestly say I’ve never felt so comfortable. Armands was so patient with my daughter. He sussed out her body language within a few minutes of holding her and walking about with her.“

Jenny, Edinburgh

“ We had such a good experience with him the first time, that when we found out we were expecting our second baby we contacted him right away to get booked up! We have been delighted with the images from both photoshoots and given the different packages that he offers for purchasing photographs, albums, frames etc. it is easy to get something really special ”

Newborn Photoshoot: What to expect

How to prepare and what you should know.

Probably one of the most asked questions is how to prepare for the newborn session. I’m often asked what, how and when to do everything. I have created a very comprehensive how to prepare for the session guide for parents.

When is the best time for newborn photography?

Check out this blog post I made about the best time to take newborn photos.
It is important to book your newborn photoshoot during your pregnancy (anytime after your 20-week scan is ideal) so that we can get the date secured in my diary.

Newborn photography would be done in the first few weeks after your baby’s birth, so please don’t leave it until the last minute to contact me – I am likely to not be able to fit you in at short notice.
If your baby arrives either earlier or later than expected, we can change the date if necessary. Ideally, your baby would be up to 4 weeks old when they come in for the session, but this greatly varies with each individual baby.

If you’ve missed your chance to have photos taken in those important first three weeks, don’t worry! It’s possible to photograph babies aged up to six weeks old, and there are many possibilities for photographing babies older than this also.

Where do you do our newborn photo session?

You have a choice of coming to my spacious Edinburgh studio for a styled newborn photo session or I can come to your house for a more natural candid newborn session. I have made an educational piece for parents comparing two types of newborn sessions here. Also, check out real home photo session galleries here.

The studio is fully equipped and specifically designed for newborn photo sessions.

Your baby’s safety is paramount

The safety of your baby is my first priority. While you’re in my studio, I am committed to caring for your baby as though they were my own.

I have been fully trained in newborn safety. I appreciate how delicate they are and how important it is to support their tiny bodies and to keep them warm and comfortable.

Also when I can, I work with an assistant who helps me during all my newborn photoshoots. Between us, we are able to ensure that your baby is always being held or supported and is completely safe during your photoshoot.

Can we bring family members for the newborn photo session?

Absolutely. I would even encourage you to do it as these would be amazing first portraits with not only parents but grandparents too. I have made a blog post specifically talking about newborn family photos here.

Would you like some gorgeous sibling and newborn photos? Check out possibilities with newborn and siblings here.

Including pets in newborn photos

It has become increasingly popular to include pets in newborn photos. I absolutely love doing this. As a result, I made a blog post that talks about things you should consider before bringing your pet to the studio.

What if my baby stays awake and doesn’t want to cooperate?

During my over 10 years of experience with newborn babies, I have learned loads of tricks and ways to settle and photograph awake newborns as well. Parents always are a bit worried about how the session will go. I have made a little guide to show possibilities with awake newborn babies. Don’t worry, there is still plenty we can do here.

“ When we went to see the photos at the studio we fell in love with all of them – be prepared to do the same! Armands helped us plan where our new photos would go in our house and designed the layout. We can’t wait for our products to arrive to put them up and show them off. Thanks so much for such a lovely memory.”
