A note from Claire:

Hello and welcome to newborn.ie. If you’re a new mum or just about to be…congratulations!

When my daughter, Eve, was born in 2004, I had just bought my first digital SLR camera. Although I didn’t know much about the technical side of photography, I knew that I wanted to capture all the tiny details about her so I began taking lots and lots of photos. It seemed like she was changing by the minute and I wanted to bottle it all up. When Eve was about nine months old, I started to share my photographs on my blog, gingerpixel.com. A year or so later, after many more clicks of the shutter, other parents approached me to take photographs of their little ones and my hobby became something more.

I like to keep things simple, I don’t use studio lights or Flash…only natural light. I love interesting, organic textures like woollen blankets, wicker baskets or muslin, and so those are my only backdrops. Every shoot is different because every baby is different. I consider it a great privilege to be invited into people’s homes during the early days after a new baby is born. If you would like to get in touch, either to book a session, ask a question or just to say hello, I’d love to hear from you, just fill out the form on the contact page.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
