Can Parents and Siblings Be in the Photos Too?

Yes, yes and yes. Your newborn session is not just about your gorgeous baby — it’s about your whole story. The love that welcomed them in. The hands that hold them close. The siblings who are curious, gentle, or hilariously unsure. The new family you’ve become.

More Than Just Your Gorgeous Baby: It's Telling Your Whole Family Story

I always encourage mums, dads and siblings to be included — whether it’s a soft kiss on baby’s head, a cuddle from Dad, or that beautiful, unscripted moment when a toddler tiptoes over to meet their new sibling. These are the little pieces of your story that matter most. The quiet glances. The giggles. The way your arms wrap instinctively around the ones you love.

And I know — you might not feel like being in front of the camera right now. You’re tired, still finding your feet, and maybe not feeling quite like yourself yet. But I promise you… these portraits will be some of the most precious you’ll ever have.

Including Siblings in a Calm, Gentle Way

Don’t worry if you’re thinking, “There’s no way my toddler will sit still for photos!” — you’re not alone. I completely understand that little ones have big feelings, especially when a new baby arrives. That’s why I make sure the session feels fun and relaxed for your big brother or sister too. I take time to help them feel important, involved, and gently encouraged — never rushed or forced. And if they’re not quite in the mood for sibling cuddles on the day? That’s okay. I’ve got a few little tricks up my sleeve to bring out those sweet, natural moments — and together, we’ll still create timeless portraits you’ll treasure forever.

You don’t need to come camera-ready. There’s no pressure. No need to pose or perform. Just light, love, and connection — captured honestly and softly.

Why These Moments Matter — Now and Always

Because they’re not just for you. They’re for your little one too.

One day, your little ones will look back and see what Mummy and Daddy looked like when they were tiny. They’ll see how gently they were held. How deeply they were loved. These images become part of their story — a reminder that from the very beginning, they were wrapped in love.

You don’t need to come camera-ready. There’s no pressure. No need to pose or perform. Just light, love, and connection — captured honestly and softly.

Because in the end, it’s not just about what your tiny baby looked like...
It’s about what this moment felt like — and the love that held it all together.

If you’re dreaming of family images full of love and connection, I’d love to help you bring those to life. The messy, magical beauty of it all deserves to be remembered.
