Tiny Treasures Photography
Welcome Guide
Worcestershire Newborn & Family Studio
First and foremost!
Thank you so much for choosing me to capture your family’s precious story! I'm Steph, photographer behind the lens of Tiny Treasures Photography. Whether it's a referral from a good friend, Facebook or Instagram that got you to book with me, I am over the moon to be on this journey with you.
I feel honoured to be a small part of your story and hope I get to photograph your beautiful little one‘s journey for years to come.
Capturing heartfelt and authentic moments that define your family’s story…
What to expect…
Newborn sessions usually take between 2-3 hours. This is so we have plenty of time for feeding and cuddles. I never want you to feel rushed in your session, this is such a magical moment for you I want you to feel relaxed and at home.
I do also recommend feeding baby once you arrive at the studio just so we can get them into a nice deep sleep ready for posing. I also recommend bringing some dry snacks and some entertainment for siblings. I do live right behind a park which is very handy if sibling who need a little change of space especially when it comes to a newborn session.
For Family and maternity sessions they usually take around 1-2 hours this is to give you time to feel nice and relaxed and so we can capture your families true connection. These sessions are all about joy, whether that’s playing fun games or telling silly jokes it is these moments that are truly something special.
What happens after the session?
Once we have completed your session I will curate a beautiful online gallery of 30+ images that are finished to the highest of standards. You will be sent a link via email inviting you to a secure website where you can view your gallery. This can also be shared with other family members if you wish.
Your online gallery is where you will choose your 15 digitals that is included in the price of your session. You will also have the option to upgrade your package, add on high quality prints or choose some beautiful wall art to fill your home.
What to wear…
My aim is to photograph and capture the love, joy and connection within your family not the clothes that you are wearing. I always want your images to stay timeless for years to come so here are my tips on what to wear to your photo session!
In terms of outfits, you don’t need to bring anything for baby if you are coming for a newborn session, my studio wardrobe is curated of beautiful delicate pieces for your little one to wear. My studio wardrobe includes rental pieces for mom from an amazing company, you will receive a brochure the same time as your welcome guide so if you haven’t received it please let me know.
When choosing a dress or top, I always suggest something that can be worn off the shoulder. Keeping skin on show brings an extra level of depth to your images.. For hair and makeup it should be what best represents you and what you feel comfortable with. I do ask you to bring outfits for partners and siblings and if you need any help with recommendations or any advice before your session please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
I believe that beige, tan, cream and neutral tones work best for family portraits. Warm toned neutrals and textures such as linen, knits and cotton are easy to coordinate and photograph beautifully. They will give your photos a timeless feel. Dads can’t go wrong with a neutral T-shirt, casual shirt or jumper.
Maternity Wardrobe…
When it comes to your maternity session it is all about showing off the magical journey your body is going through so we want to show off that beautiful bump and I always want these photos to be a reminder to you about how incredibly powerful your body is. You can show as much or as like skin as you wish this is complete your choice.
My studio wardrobe includes rental pieces from an amazing company, you will receive a brochure the same time as your welcome guide so if you haven’t received it please let me know. You also have the option to have some natural underwear shots so if this is something you would like please bring matching sets with you. I would recommend neutral colours for underwear and also delicate textures such as lace work really well. If you wish to bring some items of clothing yourself that is no problem at all and i’m always here to help and give any advice, you are also welcome to send photos in advance of anything you would like to wear in the session.
My must bring items I always recommend is a skin tone set of underwear, a cream or white button down shirt and a pair of jeans. These are just stable pieces that really work well. I do ask you to bring outfits for partners and siblings and if you need any help with recommendations or any advice before your session please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
What to avoid…
To create timeless and elegant photos we want the focus to be on you and your family not the clothes you are wearing. With the warm tones that are reflected in my portfolios I would avoid wearing cold and dark colours such as Black, Grey and blues. Also avoiding large logos and patterns is key as these can become very distracting in the images. Finally for newborn sessions I would avoid wearing perfume or aftershave as sometimes this can unsettle your baby as their little noses can be very sensitive.
Printing…
As we all know we now live in a digital age but I can honestly say nothing compares to filling your home with treasured memories. I offer a range of beautifully sourced prints that are available in the print shop once you have received your online gallery. These prints are finished to the highest of standards and are perfect for showcasing your family’s story.
I also offer a bespoke service where we can work together in creating the perfect wall art that is personalised to your home and style. These appointment are available in person and for more information please just get in touch.
