Capturing the Journey From Belly to Baby

Admin — Wed, 10 Jan 2024 11:21:02 +0000

Capturing the journey from belly to baby- Welcoming a new life into the world is a magical experience. As you prepare for the arrival of your little one, consider remembering this special time by documenting your journey through pregnancy photography. Capturing the beauty of your growing bump before and after the baby arrives allows you to create a visual narrative of this extraordinary chapter in your life.

Before Baby: Embracing the Glow

Pregnancy is a unique and awe-inspiring time, filled with anticipation and excitement. Before your little one makes their debut, take the opportunity to celebrate and capture the beauty of your blossoming belly. Here are some tips for creating stunning belly photos before the baby arrives:

Choose a Meaningful Location:

Select a location that holds significance for you and your partner. Whether it’s your favorite park, the nursery you’ve lovingly prepared, or the cozy corner of your home, the setting should reflect the joy and warmth of this special time.

Wardrobe Choices:

Opt for clothing that flatters your baby bump. Flowing dresses, fitted tops, or even a simple white shirt can beautifully showcase the roundness of your belly. Consider soft, neutral colours for a timeless and elegant look.

Natural Light

I love natural light. Whether it is in my studio or on location during sunset. Take advantage of natural light for a soft and flattering glow. Photographs taken during the golden hour, before sunset, can add a dreamy quality to your images.

Incorporate Props:

Personalise your photos by adding props that hold sentimental value. This could include baby shoes, a sonogram image, or a beloved children’s book. These elements will add depth and meaning to your visual story.

After Baby: Cherishing the New Beginnings

Once your little one has arrived, your photography journey continues with the introduction of your newborn into the frame. Here’s how you can create a seamless transition from the anticipation of pregnancy to the joy of parenthood:

Intimate Newborn Sessions:

Schedule a newborn photoshoot to capture the first few days of your baby’s life. These intimate sessions can take place in the comfort of your home, allowing for natural and candid moments with your newborn or in my studio with its beautiful natural light.

Family Portraits:

Expand your photo collection to include family portraits. Capture the love and connection between you, your partner, your children and your newborn. These images will preserve precious memories of the early days of parenthood.

Document Everyday Moments:

Don’t shy away from documenting the ordinary yet heartwarming moments of daily life with your baby. Whether it’s a sleepy yawn, a tiny hand gripping your finger, or a sweet smile, these candid shots will become cherished memories.

Creative Milestone Photos:

Create a series of milestone photos as your baby grows. From the first smile to the first steps, these pictures will mark the incredible journey of your child’s development.

Capturing your journey from belly to baby is everything. Photographing your belly before and after your baby arrives is a powerful way to encapsulate the emotions and experiences of this remarkable journey. As you navigate the beautiful transition from pregnancy to parenthood, these images will serve as a lasting testament to the love, joy, and growth that define this chapter in your family’s story. So, grab your camera, embrace the moment, and start capturing the magic that comes with bringing new life into the world. Start your journey by send get in touch with me here. Tiff x

Tips for a Successful Family Photoshoot

Tips for a successful family photoshoot- Capturing moments is creating lasting memories through a family photoshoot. To cherished traditions for many. Whether you’re a professional photographer or a family looking to capture your special moments, here are some practical tips to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.

1. Coordinate Outfits:

Choosing coordinated outfits can significantly enhance the visual appeal of your photos. While matching outfits can be fun, it’s essential to avoid overly busy patterns or bright colours. Furthermore, opt for complementary natural and earthy colours that reflect your family. Keep in mind the location to ensure your clothing doesn’t blend into the background.

2. Time It Right:

The timing of your photoshoot is crucial for achieving the desired lighting and atmosphere. The golden hours, which is about 1.5hours before sunset offer soft, warm light. I normally avoid midday when the sun is harsh, causing unflattering shadows and squinting.

3. Choose the Right Location:

Selecting the perfect location sets the tone for your photos. Consider meaningful places like your home, a beautiful landscape of Melbourne, or a favourite family spot. These moments into the photos can make them more authentic and memorable. You can find a variety of spots here.

4. Be Mindful of Ages:

For younger children, bring snacks, toys, or a favourite blanket to keep them comfortable and engaged. With teenagers, involve them in the planning process and allow them to express their personalities through the shoot. I love to connect with my clients, how to connect with each family member, ensuring genuine smiles and expressions.

5. Plan Ahead:

Communication is key to a successful photoshoot. Discuss your expectations and preferences with the photographer, including specific poses or candid moments you’d like to capture. Prepare a list of must-have shots and any unique family dynamics for your photoshoot

In conclusion, I strive for a stress free and successful family photoshoot. Tips for a successful family photoshoot is by coordinating outfits, choosing the right time and location, being mindful of different age groups, and planning ahead, you can ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience that results in beautiful, lasting memories for years to come.

Outdoor family Photography Melbourne

Admin — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 13:13:48 +0000

Outdoor family photography around Melbourne South East for family photographs of you and your precious children.

Melbourne has beautiful outdoor locations. We are very lucky to have so many outdoor options for your family photos. I often get people getting me to choose their locations. However it is very much a personal choice with your personal preferences and I could never choose as I love all my locations. It also depends how far you are wanting to travel as well.

Outdoors family photography is done closer to sunset for that beautiful sun glow and the soft highlights. Sessions are done about 1.5 hours before sunset. That beautiful sun glows comes out around 7.30pm during daylight savings (during summer) or about 4pm over winter. Sometimes the sun isn’t always out during the session however a cloudy evening is just as nice with the dramatic clouds outside. It still brings out a beautiful contrast in your images. I always check the weather forecast about a week before the shoot. Melbourne is always unpredictable at the best of time.

For your outdoor family photography, I will guide you pre shoot to help you prep for your session- what to wear, what to expect etc. Also a lots of prompts and guidance for the posing will be provided to capture your family at your preferred outdoor location. You will have genuine authentic emotions in your family storytelling outdoors. It is all about having fun and stress free.

I have a collection of dress/gowns available to my mums which is handy if you don’t have the time to go shopping or are wanting to wear something flowy for the occasion.

Get in touch for your photoshoot outdoors around Melbourne. Tiff- info@tiffanys.xedmanagementsolutions.com

Baby Poses For Newborn Photos

Admin — Mon, 06 Feb 2023 12:55:49 +0000

Baby poses for newborn photos are about capturing these precious moment of your just born baby.

When is it the best time to have your newborn photoshoot for these baby poses?

My favourite age is from 9 days old. Babies are still fresh, sleepy and more flexible to have those curly baby poses for your newborn photos.

However for the parents, the first week is a rollercoaster trying to settle at home- Your breastmilk is coming in if you are breast-feeding and you will have home nurse visits during that first week as well.

I always suggest parents to wait until they have settled home and to get in touch to organise their session once ready. I have the flexibility to the photoshoot within that week of getting in touch.

Some parents might want to wait a little longer than 9 days before getting out of their house. It sure took me a while before I left my house for the first time therefore I totally understand.

After 2 weeks old, babies are more alert, less sleepy and not as flexible for those curly baby poses. However it is still a sweet age to photograph them still so little.

Where are the newborn photos done?

Newborn sessions are done in my studio in Endeavour Hills. They are in the morning as babies and parents are a lot fresher in the morning.

I also offer in-home session if you prefer the baby poses to happen in the comfort of your own home- especially after having a cesarean section.

It is totally up to parents and how they feel when organising their newborn portrait session.

Who can participate during the newborn shoot?

My baby poses for your newborn photos are all about capturing the genuine emotion and authentic connection between the family members. I have a variety of images during the session between mum, dad, Bub and all the siblings. There is an extra fee for additional extended families like grand parents.

What baby poses will you have for your newborn photos?

There will be a variety of posing during your baby photoshoot without disrupting baby too much. These posing are done in variety of combination between all the family members participating during the shoot.

Images with family posing all together. It is mainly about capturing the authentic connection and emotions between all the members of the family with Baby.

Siblings shots. These are done at the start of the session. Especially if you have little toddlers during the shoot.

Mum with Bub and the kids. These are precious capturing of mum with Baby, mum with Baby and all the children of the family. These can also include breastfeeding shots if wanted.

Dad with Bub and the kids. We can’t forget Dad with Bub and all the children as well.

Baby by him/herself. These baby poses are done when Baby is asleep. Lots of cuddles are often required and these baby cuddles are the best part of the session 😉

Details/close up shot of baby- Remembering his/her little toes, little fingers, the hair the nose and parents hands holding baby’s hands. These are little details you will cherish in remembering how little they were.

Prompts and guidance will be given during your photoshoot to achieve these baby poses for your newborn photos. Sessions generally go for 2-3 hours all depending on Baby, feeding, nappy changes, cuddles, siblings wanting to have a break.

If you have any further questions regarding your newborn photoshoot, don’t hesitate to get in touch here. Tiff x

What Is A Sitter Session

Admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2021 02:02:19 +0000

WHAT IS A SITTER SESSION?

A sitter session is photographing your babies’ exciting milestone in their first year of life.

At about six to nine months old, babies are able to sit on their own. It is a fun session as you can see how much your baby has grown and see his/her cheeky personality.

The sitting session is done in my studio based in Endeavour Hills. We will do the session in the morning before the morning nap or lunch. Babies are happier in the morning than later in the day.

It will go for about 45 minutes, babies don’t always last any longer than that. We will have time for 2 outfit changes. Parents are welcome to bring any heirloom outfits, baby will wear it first as it may not work later in the session, in case baby has had enough.

It was such a pleasure to see how much Baby M has grown. She came in the studio for her newborn session. You can see her newborn photoshoot here. She was a bit shy to begin with but her personality shined through. She showed off her beautiful toothless smiles but also her eye stares. Next step will be walking 🙂

If you are wanting any further questions about your sitter session for your little precious baby, don’t hesitate to get in touch

I have a variety of locations around Melbourne where you can have your maternity session done. I often get clients letting me choose the location. However, I honestly can’t choose. It really depends on the scenery wanted in the images. The location is important as it the surrounding that complements your belly bump. And I want my clients to look back on their images LOVING where they had their images taken.

This will be discussed during your consultation. However, on spot that has been very popular has been the beach. It is one if the best spot to go all year round. I have had beautiful warm wintery sunset session there as much as overcast day over summer. Melbourne and its weather surprises every time. I do monitor the weather about a week before the session.

For this session, the weather was absolutely wild. We had the 4 seasons in one day. Caught in the rain and finished the session with a beautiful warm sunset.

B is wearing TWO gowns from my collection I have available to my mothers. Most of them are bump friendly dresses. You can find the listing here.

Capturing Family Memories

Admin — Wed, 19 May 2021 11:55:11 +0000

CAPTURING FAMILY MEMORIES

Capturing family memories with a family with their precious little girl.

S got in touch with me to photograph her precious family. Her baby girl P has been diagnosed with an extremely rare genetic condition called Sandhoff. Unfortunately, there is no cure cure but only supportive treatment for this life threatening disease.

Miss P is non verbal and non mobile. So when S booked her portrait session with me, I was looking forward to it with lots of emotions; I was nervous but also really excited to meet this family. The love for this girl is so immense that it gets my heart muscle every time I see her images. I was so happy to have been able to photograph these precious photos for them.

For this photoshoot, I wanted to create magical images with beautiful authentic emotions in photographing S and her family, with their precious time and moment together. It was such a beautiful heartfelt photography session. The night was glorious, the weather was magical and the location was on point! It couldn’t of been anymore perfect for them!

Embracing The Chaos During Your Family Session

EMBRACING THE CHAOS DURING YOUR FAMILY SESSION

Embracing the chaos during your family session with these guys.

My cousin had her second baby during our lockdown and although she didn’t get to have newborn images, we did a family session post COVID-19.

Her family session was full of fun and chaos. Mainly because my family sessions are done about 1h30 before sunset for that beautiful sun light in your images. The time can be a bit tricky being during diner time and the most chaotic part of the day with our evening routine. But it is so worth it!

J made it work with earlier nap time during the day so that the kids could last a little bit longer during their family photoshoot. Even though the boys were tired, they still had heaps of fun that evening. Some sibling shots had to involve a bit of wrestling however the chaos and the fun made their moments very special. I’m glad I got to capture these for them.

My family portrait sessions are very relaxed and full of fun. Don’t hesitate to get in touch to organise a date and get more information about your family session. Email at info@tiffanys.xedmanagementsolutions.com or fill out the contact form here!

Looking forward to meeting you guys!

The Perfect Time For A Newborn Shoot

Admin — Tue, 04 May 2021 12:50:12 +0000

THE PERFECT TIME FOR A NEWBORN SHOOT

When is the perfect time for a newborn shoot?

Just born babies are best captured between 5-10 days old for those relaxed and sleepy shots. After 10 days old, babies are more alert therefore more awake during your session. You will have more awake images in our gallery. I usually suggest my clients that is really up to when they are ready to come in to the studio for their newborn session.

I have a variety of images taken during the shoot; mum and baby, dad and baby, baby with siblings and all together also. My newborn sessions are mainly about the beautiful connection between you and your new family.

The date of your photo session is booked based on your due date, cesarean date or induction date. The date can be moved with an understanding that your baby may arrive earlier or later. Once you are ready, get in touch with me and will give my weekly availability to organise your session.

V & J came with their newborn baby girl just on time. She was born during our second lockdown from Covid 19 . We organised her newborn photoshoot as soon as we were able to trade again. And it felt so good to be able to create memories for my clients.

If you need more information about what to expect for your newborn session, you can find a blog post about it here.
