Newborn Sessions

Welcoming a new baby is a kind of blissful happiness that simply can't be put into words. Even amidst all the wonderful uncertainties, one feeling overwhelms - an immense, all-encompassing love…

This incredibly special season is all about being fully present to revel in each amazing detail of your baby's scrunchy toes, wispy hair, and milk-drunk smiles. It's a time to appreciate all the extraordinary in the ordinary moments.

These images will always let you relive the warmth and hope of new beginnings in all their magical, bite-sized morsels of perfection…

Learn more about Newborn Sessions

  • Let's begin our journey together with a consultation, where we’ll talk about your dreams regarding the session, what you’d like to get out of it, your family and all sorts of other things that will enable me to give you the most amazing experience. I’ll also leave you with the styling guide to make the preparations as anxiety-free as possible!

    When the big day arrives, you will all be cosied up in the comfort of your own home and I’ll be privileged to become a part of your newborn bubble for around 2 hours. With gentle prompts, I'll capture authentic family moments and your precious new addition's natural sleepy (or not!) sweetness.

    Within 2 weeks after the session, we will meet again for an in-person viewing and selection. As a keepsake, you'll receive five beautifully edited high-resolution digital images with a print release - allowing you to adorn your walls with gorgeous newborn artwork forever freezing those fleeting moments in time.

    And just for you...a special little gift awaits, my heartfelt celebration of your new baby love.

FAQs

  • Those first newborn days are so fleeting and special. You are immersed in your newborn bubble and planning a shoot definitely doesn’t top a priority list. Been there myself!

    To ensure I can capture your little love's earliest days, I recommend reserving your newborn session once you hit 20 weeks. With only a few newborn spots available each month, booking early guarantees I’ll have a space saved just for you.

  • Once we've penciled in the date for your session, the fun truly begins! We'll collaborate on all the details like choosing the perfect location and session time, and selecting everyone's outfits. This allows you to relax and focus solely on enjoying quality time together while I capture those precious memories.

    Part of my personalised full-service experience includes a comprehensive online styling guide to spark inspiration. My goal is to ensure you and your loved ones look and ‘feel themselves’ in front of the camera!

  • As a lifestyle photographer, my goal is to capture the authentic, natural beauty of your family just as you are. I want your newborn portraits to be timeless, focused entirely on your baby and your family's real connections.

    That's why I choose not to use complex props or set-ups during our sessions. Those forced poses and cheesy props can be distracting and date your images quickly. Instead, I gently guide you into comfortable, natural positions. Honestly, nothing artificial is needed when you already have perfection right there in your arms.

  • Transparency is important to me, which is why I want you to feel fully informed every step of the way - especially when it comes to pricing. I believe in clear, upfront policies with absolutely no hidden costs or surprises.

    You'll never encounter sneaky session fees or be required to purchase any minimum products with me. My goal is to provide exceptional value while making this a stress-free investment.

    To give you an idea, most clients typically invest between £500-£1,500 for their FULL experience. But there's no one-size-fits-all pricing - we'll have an open discussion to create a customised collection that brings your unique vision to life within your family's budget.

    At the end of the day, you should feel empowered to make the choices that are right for you. I'm simply here to deliver beautiful, heartfelt portraits you'll cherish forever, with no gimmicks attached. Just honesty, amazing imagery, and an incredibly fun time together!

  • We will have a viewing session within 2 weeks after the shoot. This will give you a chance to select your favourite images and any products like frames or prints should you pick any. From that moment, it will take me up to 2 weeks to deliver the final version of your images and to order any purchased products.

    If you’re pushed for time and need your images quicker, let me know and I’ll advise you on my ‘rush fee.’

  • Providing you with ultimate flexibility and freedom is very important to me. I never want you to feel pressurised to purchase prints or frames or any other product for a certain amount. Instead, I'm here to serve your needs and desires for how to celebrate your beautiful portraits.

    If you'd like, I'm more than happy to professionally print your images through my skilled lab partners who produce the highest quality archival prints and products. However, if you’d rather receive high-resolution digital files and print them out yourself, you can make that choice.

    My role is to deliver you a wonderful photo session experience and my goal is making this an easy, enjoyable process customised to your preferences. Your vision, your portraits, your way!

  • For those first precious newborn days, I want to ensure an unhurried, comfortable experience for both you and your little one. Mini sessions simply don't allow enough time for your newest arrival to feel settled and content. From feedings to cuddling to soothing, newborns are on their own beautiful schedule.

    My full newborn sessions provide a relaxed, 2-hour window in the comfort of your own home. This allows ample flexibility to work around your baby's needs and capture those fleeting, natural newborn moments when they arise. Rushed mini sessions often result in disheveled babies and stressed parents - the opposite of the serene newborn images you deserve.
