It is always lovely to capture pictures of newborns with their older siblings, the bond is so beautiful and often older siblings are happy to participate.

I visited these 2 princesses at home in Strood, Rochester one Sunday for a newborn photography session, and was a real pleasure.

I often find older siblings are more relaxed in their own surroundings and parents don't have to worry about them running around an expensive studio. I normally can fit in an average size lounge which leaves the rest of the house free.

I often capture sibling pictures first which means they can go and play after or set up their own photo session in the kitchen as this little girl did, maybe a photographer in the planning.

I also try and capture pictures of older siblings on their own, keeps me busy whilst baby is feeding or being changed and makes them feel important and included as well.

Here are just a few from our session.
