Brandon Family | Lifestyle Family Session – Christchurch

Uncategorised

Walking back from the park after our shoot, Charmaine said to me that she hopes she is making the most of the time with her boys while they are still little. It's something I know I worry about too, with the constant reminder that our little one's grow so fast… but I can honestly say, from looking at these photos, that it looks like this family are doing just that. The photos are gorgeous and show just how happy and relaxed they all were. We spent a lovely morning together at their home, with a quick trip to the park too to capture some of the beautiful weather and to let Noah run free and have some fun.

I'm not one for the 'perfectly posed' family photograph, preferring a family to be relaxed and to capture them together as they really are. I couldn't be happier with the results, you can see how happy the boys are and really feel the love in this little family. I really enjoyed this shoot and can't choose my favourites, so am sharing a lot of them here for you.

Awake shots are just as sweet as the sleepy ones, Awake shots are just as sweet as the sleepy ones, don’t you think? There’s something so special about those wide-eyed moments - when they’re quietly taking in the world, or maybe just you. Swipe to see the second photo, I swear he was just calmly studying me. My heart! 🥺

I think this might be the newborn version of a pow I think this might be the newborn version of a power pose. Those little frog legs. 🥺

If you want simple, natural timeless photos of your little one I’d love to help. 

For those super sleepy first few weeks it’s good to get in my diary after your 20 week scan. But my diary moves around a lot so it’s always good to get in touch because I’ll do my best to fit you in. Send me a message and I’ll happily email you my welcome and pricing guide.

These newborn sessions are more than just photos - These newborn sessions are more than just photos - they’re little pockets of calm, quiet joy. An escape, even for me. I really love what I do. 🤍

I hope to give every family I photograph, a chance to slow down, soak it in, and keep these precious beginnings forever. 🫶

June is going to be a busy one in my studio and I can’t wait! Please get in touch as soon as you can if you’re interested in booking a session.

Do you see that perfect little swirl in his hair? Do you see that perfect little swirl in his hair? 🥺

As a newborn photographer, I live for these fleeting details - the ones parents remember forever. Will it stay, or gently fade as he grows? Either way, today, we capture it.
