We moan when it's cold, we moan when it's hot.. But that's British weather for you hey? As these mini heatwaves are rare in England, it's great for the tan and BBQ's, but quite a worry for parents as children and babies can't handle it like we can. Newborns can overheat extremely quickly, and this can potentially lead to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Older babies can become restless, develop sun stroke and of course get burnt, much much quicker than an adult will. Chec

I am VERY happy to announce that Inspirique Baby Photography is now operating as a full time business. I am super excited, but how scary (in a good way). Photography has been my passion for many years, and it's been my dream for a long long time to be able to do this as my main job, and it's finally come true! Those who have followed me since my early days whilst juggling Uni, and then a full time job know the struggles I've been through to try and make this happen, well it's

I became registered with IPPN (Independent Professional Photographers Network) back in November, and finally decided to enter into the monthly competition they run. There's a months wait before the judges announce the results, and with it being my first entry I was quite nervous, but I was very honoured when I found out I'd received a bronze award, for a recent maternity photoshoot I did at my home studio. I'll be entering again this month, so wish me luck!! #newbornphotograp

Today I travelled to Coventry to attend The Newborn Photography Show. The morning was spent networking with vendors, I was in prop heaven, and I ended up buying way more than intended (oops). I was lucky enough to spend the afternoon training with the amazing Jade Gao from Newborn Photography by Jade all the way from Australia.. I'm still a little star struck! Here's some photo's that were taken on the day... #newbornphotographer #newbornphotographerleicester #newbornphotogra

I have a few upcoming clients who are patiently.. Or not so patiently waiting for their little ones to make an appearance, and because I'm so desperate to meet these little newborn babies and photograph them, I thought I'd write this little post for you expecting ladies out there with some useful things you could try to bring on labour. I'm sure you've had everyone give you advice and tips, and you've probably googled everything you can think of, but just in case you've not,

Many people don't realise that newborn photographs are mainly created in post production after the session, and I often get asked how I edit my photo's. Here I've made a 30 second video of me quickly editing the 'potatoe sack' pose. You will see that this was made using two images and baby was supported at all times. #newbornphotographer #newbornphotographerleicester #newbornphotographerleicestershire #newbornphotographerloughborough #newbornphotographersileby #newbornphotogr

Whilst most clients do this, and will probably unfortunately continue to do this, I wanted to make a point of writing a post to simply let you all see this from a photographers point of view. I understand the majority of clients won't know the frustration this causes us, and that's okay, you weren't to know. But now you do know, will you respect your photographer enough to take note of the below? So you've had your photoshoot, and you're dying to see the images. When they are

If you follow my Facebook page and blog you're probably wondering why I've been quiet recently. Well, Inspirique has been busy moving!! After years of being located in Melton Mowbray, the studio has gone a few miles up the road, to the small village Sileby in Loughborough, Leicestershire, and has been fitted to accommodate newborn photography. The newborn photography studio officially opened yesterday, 9th January, and has had two brand spanking new babies in already. It's st

So you are all probably wondering why professional photographers charge so much for a session when you can buy a cheap camera from the high street and print them for pence at the local supermarket. Think of it this way, it's about £100 to get your hair done, and a pair of scissors only costs £1, but you'd gladly pa​y a lot more to hire a professional to actually do the job properly. One of my pet hates is when I see or hear comments like 'it's only clicking a button and uploa

So today is the day when I finally do what I've been saying I'll do for about 2 years now... Start a blog! I'm a little clueless to this but sometimes you have to push yourself out of your comfort zone and see where it takes you. So just to introduce myself for those of you who don't know me... Hello, I'm Jade, a qualified newborn photographer in the Leicestershire (UK) area. I've had my business for almost 7 years now, and I absolutely love what I do! If you're at all intere
