The Sheals Family


This gorgeous family wanted a shoot when baby was a couple of months old, but given a premature delivery, they hadn't been able to even think about a baby shoot any earlier, let alone schedule one! Baby shoots can happen whenever works best for you as a family; I truly believe its never too late to capture those beautiful details of you all as a family in those early days, weeks and months. The fourth trimester is very real, and I encourage you to lean into it and your bubble and only invite people in when you are ready!


This shoot took place wholly in the family's front room, but with a couple of changes of outfit, and some easy set ups you can see the range of images that can be captured.
