Emillie-Mae - 14 days - Training

If you are following my blog you will have seen my previous post about my training. This was the first part of my training day. This is gorgeous little Emillie-Mae, she slept so beautifully for the whole session.

Emillie-Mae brought one of her big sisters with her so we had to have a quick photo of them both together. 

We started off with a lovely pink blanket 

Then we moved to a classic cream blanket

We were lucky enough to catch a little smile!

Love this little snuggled up pose...

Thank you to both mums, babies and families that came along to my training day. It was a great success. 

Training is so important to me it allows me to grow as a newborn photographer and allows me to offer my clients the very best.

Newborn - Training - Jace 18 days

At the beginning of May I had some training with Cass Davies, who lives and works in North Wales as a newborn photographer and trainer. She is very talented! 

I asked Cass to come and further my training, I wanted to work on bean bag posing (blanket shots) and lighting. The day went very well, we had a little girl called Emillie- Mae in the morning (blog to follow) and then Jace in the afternoon featured below. 

We started off with a quick prop shot that I wanted to try out, Cass was holding one side of this bowl for safety (her hand was then edited out in post) This is one of my favourite images from the session! 

We moved onto bean bag (blanket poses), Jace wasn't much for sleeping so getting him settled was rather tricky.

We then worked on some wrapping techniques..

Jace had gorgeous eyes!

I think it is so important for a newborn photographer to continue to train and learn new skills. I am always striving to offer my customers the best images and safest practice. 

Most of the training I undertook this month was working on refining my skills and continuing to practice safety. 

When booking a newborn photographer please avoid photographers with no training, ask your photographer about their background and experience before booking.

Studio Sessions

Hi all,

Hope your having a good february and aren't too cold! BURRR!

Just wanted to give you a little update on new and exciting things available here at Katie Watson Photography.

As you all probably know by now I recently moved house, therefore I am now able to offer 'studio sessions'.

If your less comfortable or do not have the space for me to come to your home to do your newborn session, you are welcome to come to my home in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. Tea and coffee on tap, you will be able to sit down and relax while you watch your baby being posed. My living room will be transformed into a studio especially for your session.

Here at Katie Watson Photography we also have plenty of new props to choose from and gorgeous little hats.

Keep an eye out for some set up photos and prop photos, so that you can have a better idea of what I have to offer for your session.

Newborn Specialist

After long deliberation I have decided that Katie Watson Photography will solely photograph newborns and maternity. 

I want to be able to offer my customers the very best, which means I need to focus on one area of photography so that I can put everything into that area. It will mean I can focus my training there, my time, my planning and most of all my heart. 

I work the best when I am photographing newborns and maternity, as these areas of photography allow me to use my artist flare in the best way possible. 

I am currently working on prices and products so please bare with me when you enquire. 

For those who do not know I no longer work at Szpak photography, however I will be able to use the studio up until January. After this time I will return to being a fully mobile photographer. 

Please see my updated website:

About Newborn Photography

It is very important that I photograph baby between 5- 12 days old so that we can capture the best images possible for you. At this age babies like to sleep which means that we can create those classic sleepy posed photographs of your baby. It also means we don’t have to worry about colic, as that can make baby very restless.

I am a fully mobile photographer, meaning I come to your home to photograph your newborn. During your session you will be able to relax while you watch your baby having their photos taken. There will be a chance to get sibling and baby and also parent and baby photographs in the session. We will also talk before hand in your consultation call about preparation and what sort of things to have ready. I will also have a chat with you about what sort of style your looking for from your photography and where you are looking to place your photos in your home, this will give me a good idea of how to shoot your session and what colours to use to compliment your home.

My number one focus above all is that your baby is safe, happy and comfortable throughout the whole session. Baby is very, very new and will have no control whatsoever. I will support your baby throughout each pose, and will always be close to baby when he/she is in a posed position. Please be aware that any of those unique, self-supporting photographs you see are a few images in one to keep baby safe (keep an eye out for a blog post on this very soon).

Its best to book your session while pregnant to avoid disappointment. 

Jessica - 10 days old

I had the joy of photographing Jessica while she was in mums tummy, and then shortly after Jessica herself at 10 days old.

Jessica, as you can see from the photos, is gorgeous. She had lots of dark hair and beautiful skin.

Rob, Cheryl and bump, Jessica. 

Weighing 8lb 3oz at birth

Jessica slept for most of the session

Stopping to eat occasionally 

I love her little feet

Very safe in dads arms

Happy family 

I just loved Jessica's session, she was a little star and mum and dad were wonderful too.

When to book your newborn session...

It is so important that you book your newborn session early while your pregnant. We can put a provisional booking in the diary ready for your baby, which allows us to be able to fit you in once baby is born. We get booked up very quickly and cannot guarantee you a session if you ring once baby is born, however we will try our best to fit you in.

Remember that baby must be between 5 and 12 days old for a newborn portrait. Any baby after this age is no longer a newborn (in the photography sense), I can photograph older babies but please be aware that we will not achieve those sleepy posed images as you see in my newborn work. After your baby has passed the newborn stage ages 4, 6 and 12 months old are more ideal (but can be completely tailored to you and your baby’s needs).

Little Ethan!

This little lad loved to eat which meant he wasn't quite as keen on sleeping, but after a swaddle he was fast asleep for the rest of the session...
