There’s something truly special about photographing a newborn in those first few days of life — and this recent studio newborn photography session in Cape Town was nothing short of magical.
At just 8 days new, this sweet baby boy slept like a dream, making for a smooth and peaceful session. He moved effortlessly between poses — from cosy wraps to timeless, curled-up portraits. Every transition felt seamless, and his calm, sleepy nature made capturing posed newborn photos a joy.
Newborn Photos with your Puppy – Yes, Please!
To make the session even more heartwarming, the family brought along their well-behaved dog, who joined in for a few special portraits. We love it when families include their pets in a newborn and pet photography session — after all, they’re part of the family too! The connection between this baby and his furry sibling was already so sweet, and the images of them together are some of our favourites.
Alongside solo portraits of the baby, we also captured a beautiful set of family newborn photos. There’s something deeply emotional about watching new parents hold their tiny baby, and this couple radiated love and joy in every frame. These infant and family studio portraits are often the most treasured images that truly tell your family’s story.
We ended the session with a striking silhouette portrait — a classic black-and-white image that highlights connection and emotion in a simple, timeless way. The parents were so in love with this photo that they had it framed and proudly displayed in their home, which we absolutely love. Knowing that our work becomes an integral part of your everyday space is one of the most rewarding aspects of being a newborn studio session photographer in Cape Town.
