Let’s talk about this newborn photo thing—mum to mum
The early days are… a blur.
You’re barely sleeping.
You’re holding your baby all day long.
You’re trying to figure out feeding, changing, calming, healing—while your body feels like it ran a marathon and forgot to recover.
So when someone says “This is the best time for photos!”
—you might laugh. Or cry. Or both. 😂
And I get it.
But here’s the thing.
This time really is different.
And you don’t have to feel ready to have it remembered.
They’re only this tiny once
That floppiness?
The milky breath, the scrunched-up toes, the way they sleep in a tiny froggy curl?
It goes. Fast.
Within a few weeks, they’ll stretch out.
They’ll open their eyes wider.
They’ll fill out their cheeks and start becoming someone else entirely.
Which is beautiful, of course.
But it also means—this sleepy, curled-up version of them only exists now.
And once it’s gone, it’s really gone.
“Can’t I just do it later?”
You can.
But the photos will be different.
After the first few weeks, babies become more alert, more fidgety, more sensitive to touch and sound.
That newborn stillness? It doesn’t last.
So if you’re dreaming of soft, cuddled-up photos—this little window, usually under 21 days old, is when it happens most naturally.
“But is it safe?”
If that’s your top concern—you’re my kind of mum.
When I work with newborns, every touch is careful.
Every movement is slow.
Every session is led by your baby’s comfort.
No rushed timelines.
No awkward posing.
No “Just one more!” when your baby needs a break.
At Niddledy Noddledy, I work from my home studio—a quiet, private space designed with newborns (and new mums) in mind.
There’s a cozy bedroom right next to the shoot area, an attached toilet, and a calm, feeding-friendly environment where you never have to rush.
You can pause, cuddle, change, or simply sit for a moment—because your baby’s comfort comes first. Always.
And a mother (that’s me) who’s been through it, and never takes your trust for granted.
“What if my baby’s fussy?”
That’s okay.
Babies cry. They feed. They need breaks.
That’s why I keep sessions flexible and slow-paced.
We stop when needed. Pause when needed.
This isn’t about getting your baby to behave.
It’s about meeting them where they are—and gently working around their rhythm, not a schedule.
So, do you really need newborn photos?
Only you can decide that.
But here’s what I’ll say, hand on heart:
You’ll forget things.
You’ll forget how their fingers curled around yours.
How their head felt in your palm.
How they looked that morning they finally slept for three whole hours.
But the photos will remember.
A tiny yawn.
The curl of soft fingers.
A hand flung up, mid-dream.
That newborn fold—tucked in, close.
And long after the newborn smell fades,
you’ll still have this moment
—tucked safely in a frame.
🍼 Whenever you’re ready, I’ll be here.
