Just a quick reminder that if you are thinking of having a photography session in the very newborn baby stage (from about 6 days to 2 weeks), please try to book your photo session before your baby is born (we can always reschedule your photo session as needed but at least you are in the book and we can alocate time for you and your newborn baby)- we hate to see disappointment if we can't get you in for a few weeks, this precious newborn baby stage is so brief and so magical.

Even when fast asleep, the babies have lots of fun in the studio. I had this little one lined up to share today and then the little 9 day old in the studio today smiled in her dreams in nearly every pose, bless her. I can't wait to share those photos.
Don't you wonder what they are dreaming about? Milk, mummy, past life good times, upcoming christmas, just life in general. What's your guess?...

We ummed and uhhhed over this one a lot in the studio. My production head thought it would be a great idea to show some of the behind the scenes processing that goes on, her arguement being that people didn’t have a clue how much work we put into their images and would appreciate them all the more. I always thought that it would spoil some of the magic if we showed all our tricks and that the images spoke for themselves. However in the light of the growing digital age where quantity is prevailing over quality I have decided to take you a bit behind the scene to see what goes on.
Firstly we shoot in raw, this is the highest quality image you can have, I always think of it as having a 3D image to work with as opposed to a 2D jpeg or tiff file, there is just that much more information to work with.
Then a rough process into a preview slide show for you to select from, with only minor cropping and tweaking, to give you a glimpse into the final product when you chose.
Once you have selected your images then the real work begins with processing them, opening them in the raw processor and pulling out the best black and white image we can before we take them into photoshop and individually work on them to bring out their true beauty and make your baby look gorgeous, removing any blemishes such as milk rash, flakey skin, late nights and so on, cropping, dodging and burning and a few other little secrets.
You will have to use your imagination on what we can do for a sleep deprived new mother as I just can't bring myself to put any of the before shots of a new mum up, some things should just remain magic.
Of course the real magic is capturing those special moments that the baby gifts us...

These two gorgeous little ones brought their new brother all the way from Hong Kong to come and have Newlife photos taken. Aren't they delicious!!
While this photo here shows more of the children, it is the one below that we all loved the best (that is the parents and I). It is full of emotion, and love, and a tinsy squishy bit of reality:
The babies have been giving me such attitude lately- so full of personality and character- I love it. Some of these little ones, and baby Chloe from the last post, are going to have to be added to the Attitude Gallery, it's just going to be, as always, difficult picking which ones...
Today I got this beautiful note of gratitude from one of my clients, it's always such a pleasure to receive these letters so thank you Rebekah. You can see more of Sebastian and his beautiful family on the Stories page.
Galia,
I’m so sorry for the tardy “thank you”.
We absolutely love the photos that you took of Sebastian and us. My husband was taken aback by the photos, he just loved them. I find myself staring at them so often and we’ve had so many compliments from people - so well done. I will get around to actually phoning up as I have to order some more!
Thanks for making me feel so absolutely comfortable with the pregnancy shoot and for being so accommodating when we all came out for the family shots.
Last and not least THANK YOU. We’re so glad we came to you to capture our precious bundle of bliss, Sebastian.
Regards,
Rebekah Parks
