Newborn, Baby Maternity || Emanuela Redaschi Photography

A big congratulations to Kate winner of our January’s Newborn Photography Competition! I was so happy when her name was randomly picked (video here). When she entered the competition she mentioned how difficult her second pregnancy had been and that winning would have surely cheered her up!

Oscar’s newborn shoot was scheduled at the beginning of February but unfortunately both boys caught Chicken Pox. So we delayed the photo shoot until Oscar and William were feeling better. By the time we did their Photography Session,  Oscar was over 4 weeks old and he was brilliant!!! He held the poses perfectly and did some lovely shots with his eyes opened.

I love taking pictures of awake newborns as later on when they are about 7/8 months and showing a little bit more of their personalities, mum and dad can look back at their baby first photo shoot and realise that those eyes were already speaking and showing so much about their baby!

And his big brother was an angel and so proud of his little newborn baby! He was so careful with him and very gentle. And you can see how much he loved cuddling him!

Can you feel the love? Can newborn pictures show this wonderful feeling? I believe they can and when your kids will look back at them they will see how much love their parents already had for their new baby. When taking pictures of this beautiful family I watched the love between mum and dad and the love for their little one! This is what I want to capture. The simplicity of being a newborn, the love between the parents and the love for their new baby. I want to gift my clients with invaluable memories so that when they will look back the the pictures they will remember the feelings they had during those first few days as new parents. I want these babies to see what their parents were experiencing, how much love was going on!

I met Tory’s mum through MatchUpMums, a wonderful new service that puts together like-minded mums or mums-to-be in your local area, for friendship and support. As with my second baby I didn’t have too much time to socialise while I was working on my business I wanted to meet new mums and MatchUpMums did an excellent job putting together a new group of friends! I was really pleased when Tami asked me to book a newborn session with me and allowing me to capture these precious memories for her and her husband. Tami, thank you so much for believing in my photography!

One of the best smiles I have ever witnesses during a newborn session was definitely the one that Willem gave me! Taking pictures of newborn babies it can be hard, and you need to be very patient and wait for the right moment. You need to allow your little guest to settle in the new environment and follow his needs. Stop when he needs to feed, when he needs mummy’s cuddles and make sure that he is comfortable at all times. Willem was exceptionally good. Not only he gave me some beautiful smiles but he slept through the whole session. Mum and dad were able to relax and enjoy and for once someone else took care of the details of this event… Willem’s mum is the founder of ArrangeMeA and she is superb in what she does…organising spectacular events taking care of every last little detail. I am so happy I was able to deliver some precious newborn pictures for them to treasure forever and I hope I will be meeting this little boy and his family some other time in the future!

Sweet baby Felix was in the studio in January. He has this intense look and it is impossible not to fall in love with him! During his Newborn photography session he was so adorable. He reminds me of one of my boys, very intense and sweet! I just loved being able to capture his first days of life and giving his parents some memories they will cherish forever.

Perfect lips, perfect feet, perfect skin…perfect baby! During her newborn photography session Elisa was superb and she slept for most of the session! As a 7 weeks old baby she was able to hold some of the newborn poses superbly. I had the pleasure to see her again few days ago and she was all smiling!!! Love her!
