I believe some things are meant to be! When I started offering Dubai photography sessions my key focus was on family, maternity, cake smash sessions. Then all our friends started having babies and presumed that I would be a great fit to photograph their bundles of joy!
Trying new genres is never easy and I pretty much shortly realized that newborn photography does require lots of investment. Equipment, posing props, supporting props, outfits, wraps, accessories and most importantly knowledge. I invested lots in masterclasses and props to be able to offer those luxury and stylish set ups you see in my portfolio. All props are shipped from the US, Australia, Europe, etc
I fell in love with photographing little humans and there was no way back! I devoted all my budget, time and energy in mastering my skill of being the best Dubai Newborn Photographer, the best version of myself.
I often wonder why I developed such a passion for newborn photography in particular and there are a few thoughts that come to mind:
- I am very maternal myself. Now a mum of three. At the time I started I hadn’t had my own children yet, but cuddling and settling babies always felt super natural to me. I just love it
- I clearly love challenges. Newborn Photography is very rewarding as it can be quite challenging. Getting those poses, angles, taking control over the non settling newborn and getting the most beautiful galleries always feels like an incredible achievement. Baby Photography definitely contributed in my own growth as a human and mum and teaches me a lot of patience, which all of us need
- Welcoming new parents is what I really love! Newborn sessions are not rushed and generally take around 2 hours. That allows us to have the most wholesome chats I’ve ever had, share our birth experiences, talk about anything new mums would love to from breastfeeding to postnatal anxieties. I feel like a safe place for those new mums who are just starting to navigate their way in motherhood with all the joys and challenges it offers. I’ve become really good friends with so many mums I’ve worked with and it’s pure joy watching the little ones grow!
- Being a Dubai Newborn Photographer definitely fills my creative cup. I love styling my set ups and getting ready for those sessions. Buying the most beautiful props is another obsession of mine. My clients are well aware how beautiful my collection of props , accessories, outfits is.
