There’s something truly special about welcoming not just one generation, but three, into the studio for a newborn + family session. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing baby Naomi, just 8 weeks old, alongside her loving parents and three proud grandparents.
Our session took place in my Tawa studio, where I kept the vibe simple and classic—perfect for letting the love and connection of this beautiful family shine through. With natural posing and a palette of neutral tones, we created a collection of timeless images that I know will be treasured for years to come.
Naomi: The Star of the Show
At 8 weeks, Naomi was wonderfully alert yet still had those soft, dreamy newborn qualities that make this stage so precious. Whether she was peacefully resting in her parents’ arms or gazing up at her grandparents with curious eyes, Naomi was an absolute delight. Her calm nature allowed us to move effortlessly through the session, capturing every little detail that makes her uniquely her.
Family Love in Every Frame
Including Naomi’s grandparents in the session added an extra layer of warmth. You could feel the pride and joy radiating from them as they held their granddaughter, their expressions full of love and awe. These moments weren’t just photographs—they were memories in the making.
For Naomi’s parents, the session was a chance to pause and savour this fleeting time as a new family. I especially loved capturing the tender exchanges and quiet smiles between them as they cradled their little girl.
A Classic Approach to Timeless Photography
I believe in keeping things simple to let genuine emotions and relationships take centre stage. For Naomi’s session, I chose neutral tones to complement the soft lighting in the studio. From individual portraits of Naomi to group shots of the entire family, each frame exuded a sense of timelessness and intimacy.
The Power of Generational Photography
One of the highlights of this session was the generational portraits. Having three generations in one photo is such a rare and meaningful experience. It’s a visual representation of family legacy, love, and connection—a reminder of the bonds that tie us all together.
Wrapping Up the Session
By the end of the session, we had a stunning gallery of images showcasing the beauty of Naomi’s early days, the joy of her parents, and the unwavering love of her grandparents. It was a privilege to capture these moments for their family, and I can’t wait for them to look back on these photographs as Naomi grows!
If you’re considering a newborn + family session, I’d love to help you create your own set of timeless memories. Whether it’s just your immediate family or a larger gathering with grandparents, these sessions are about celebrating the love and connection unique to your family.
