Vintage Styled Newborn Shoots

Vintage styled newborn shoots are just heaven! Honestly, since I started styling my studio sessions with vintage furniture and fabrics, my creative heart hasn’t stopped thumping away. Getting creative with styling brings so many bonuses for my clients, it’s a chance to step outside of everyday life and do something a little bit other worldly. I think we all have a little romance in our souls and these newborn studio sessions really bring that out in people. Not only that but it’s a chance to unwind, spend time together with your new baby in the most relaxing, slow way. Nothing about my vintage ..read more

How to love photos of yourself

Last week I talked about some of the interesting psychology behind why you think you are not photogenic.  Today I’m going to give you some tips on how to turn this around and learn how to love photos of yourself. In my last post about the psychology behind these feelings, I mentioned the Exposure Effect which in simple photography terms means the more we expose our brains to real images of ourselves, the more we will become familiar and comfortable with that version instead of being thwarted by our perceived self image. How to get rid of negative thoughts about how we look So by doi ..read more

Why you think you are not photogenic
JoJo Cooper | Newborn Photography
by jojo
1y ago
Did you know that there is some pretty interesting psychology behind why you think you are not photogenic?   Self Perception Most of us will perceive ourselves differently in some way to the way we actually are and are biased in our views which can change throughout our lives.  Most of the time we view ourselves in a good way and feel good about ourselves but sometimes when we are emotionally down or have huge changes in our body shape in a relatively short space of time (such as during and after pregnancy), it can be hard for our brain to rely on its usual self perceptions. Which ca ..read more

My Top Tips for Getting A Newborn to Sleep
JoJo Cooper | Newborn Photography
by jojo
1y ago
In almost every studio session I’m asked for my top tips for getting a newborn to sleep and am often called the ‘Baby Whisperer’. I’m not sure that is true but after 15 years of photographing them I know a thing or five about getting a newborn to sleep. Keep it Cosy Years ago before I had a studio, the most vital part of my mobile kit (apart from my camera of course) was a small electric fan heater because I quickly learned that warmth was so, so important for getting a newborn to sleep for their session. When my kiddo’s were little I was told that a good rule of thumb was for them to wear an ..read more

The Journal Artbook

It’s unlike anything else – a soft, leather wrap photo album with a cover that envelops pages of beautifully hand-torn cotton rag fine art prints.   Whilst there is a certain wonderful nostalgia about sticking printed photos into an album, in a digital world it has become far easier and cost effective to print your photos directly into a book. Knowing where to start with this can be a little daunting. There are budget online photo books for displaying your phone pics through to professional quality bespoke options. As always, I’m all about quality and longevity when it comes to printing ..read more

Baby Names in 2022- 30 Names for Inspiration

Baby names are hard when it comes to making a decision that will be with your child for the rest of their life! Days, weeks, months of making lists, imagining what your unborn child will be we be like as a school age child and then adult with the name you chose is a daunting task. Do you go for something you’d always wanted to be called yourself? Is there a family name you want or feel you should include?  IS there someone important in your life that you’d like to honour by using their name? It’s such an interesting, nerve wracking and life changing decision to name a person before you’ve ..read more

Client Wardrobe for Photoshoots – What’s it all about?
JoJo Cooper | Newborn Photography

Why do I need to ‘style’ my family for our photoshoot? A client wardrobe for photoshoots is a great way for us photographers to help their clients style their photography sessions easily, beautifully and cost effectively. Many clients I speak to before they book their newborn or family session feel a little nervous about how to style their whole family in a cohesive and natural way that works for their session. I understand how hunting it can be, after all, how often do you coordinate your entire family for an occasion?  Usually we will dress ourselves and our children in outfits that fee ..read more

Surrey Newborn Studio Session

Having my Surrey newborn studio available for new parents for their photography session is proving waaaay more popular than I could ever have imagined! The joy of having a cosy warm studio is two fold. Firstly clients love it because they can arrive with their new little bundle of gorgeousness to a beautifully styled cosy room. Mum’s can borrow a dress from my (ever growing) client wardrobe, they can enjoy a cuppa and a biscuit and simply relax, letting me take over for a couple of hours. Secondly, I love it because with everything to hand in a space specifically designed for these sess ..read more
