I came across Peter’s work when I was pregnant. Sitting at home on maternity counting down the days until my due date. Possibly watched everything there was on Netflix. I decided to start looking for some inspiration for images that I could potentially take once she/ he would be born. While I was doing my research I had came across a variety images from maternity images, capturing the birth and the newborn photography.
Newborn photography happens in the first two weeks of their lives. Since I left it too late as people book in way in advance like two to three months before the baby is born. While making the booking it states that you have two weeks in and two weeks out meaning that they know that some babies will be born before or after their due date. This just lets them keep there place secure.
Peter’s Newborn photography is amazing. When i first seen it, it took my breath away. Didn’t knew what to think about it at the start. The photographs are very cute and adorable. Also they are a very nice gift to capture your baby when they are that small. Looking back at them and all of the memories coming back.
I’ve had a keen interest in photography since my childhood. Photography remained a big part of what I did and what inspired me. When I was asked by friends to shoot their wedding in Edinburgh I jumped at the chance. I enjoyed myself so much that this became the starting point of my career.
Quote from Peter from his website : https://www.peterthomasphotography.com/about.aspx
I know from experience that babies grow up so fast. So this newborn photography shoots let you capture this special time. The shoots aim to capture cuteness, fragility and the beauty of the babies. In some of the work I seen some of the shoots focus on the child and others include the parents if they would like to participate in them.
I personally really like his work and how even it is his company. He employs other people. Stacey mostly photographs each of the newborn shoots – I feel like that is a perfect idea letting a woman take care of most of these shoots. As I think that woman just have a softer touch when it comes to babies. But both work of Peter and Stacey is amazing.
I would 100% recommend them to my friends and family, if they will ever have a baby to go and get these images done as there are fantastic.
Peter is also an inspiration to anyone who is starting out in the business. As his journey started of with a first wedding for a friend in 2005 and then a word of mouth was passed on and that when he started to expand his business, taking up more weddings to photograph – which that then let him to expand into other different categories. From newborn to families, to weddings, engagements and to even pet photography. Who would even thought of taking photographs of their beloved animals. His work and images are amazing and worth checking out.
