Why should I have a Newborn photoshoot?
The first days with your baby are fleeting — filled with tiny details, quiet moments, and a kind of love that’s hard to put into words.
Newborn photography is about preserving these early memories before they change: the curl of their fingers, the way they fit perfectly in your arms, and the connection you’re building as a family.
In the midst of those early weeks, photographs allow you to pause and remember just how small they once were.
A Calm, Baby-Led Experience
Every newborn session is completely baby-led and unhurried.
I allow plenty of time for feeds, cuddles, nappy changes, and settling, creating a relaxed environment where your baby’s comfort and safety are always the priority.
With a professional background in childcare and education, your newborn is always in safe, experienced hands.
A Session Designed Around Your Family
Every newborn session is planned around your family, your style, and your vision.
There is no single “look” you have to fit into. Whether you’re drawn to soft neutrals, bold colours, coordinated outfits, or something completely unique, your session can be tailored to reflect what matters to you.
If your nursery has a colour theme, if you have a favourite shade, or if there’s a sentimental item you’d love included, I’ll always do my best to incorporate it into your session.
Simple or Fully Styled — You Choose
How your newborn session looks can vary depending on the collection you choose.
Some families prefer a simple, relaxed session, focusing on baby with a small number of natural family portraits.
Others love a fully styled experience, where everything is carefully coordinated — from baby’s outfits and wraps, to mum’s dress, and even matching sibling outfits — creating a beautifully cohesive gallery.
Both approaches are guided gently and thoughtfully, ensuring your session feels calm, intentional, and never overwhelming.

Studio Newborn Sessions
All newborn sessions take place in my studio, which is warm, calm, and fully equipped for newborn photography.
Sessions are unhurried and baby-led, allowing plenty of time for feeding, settling, cuddles, and breaks whenever needed.
With a professional background in childcare and education, your baby’s comfort, safety, and wellbeing are always my highest priority.
Outfits, Props & Styling Options
I have an extensive collection of newborn outfits, wraps, fabrics, headbands, and props, allowing us to create a session that fits your vision.
You’re welcome to:
-
Choose from a wide range of colours and textures
-
Coordinate outfits across the whole family
-
Mix studio pieces with your own outfits
-
Include sentimental items from home
All styling choices are discussed together, with gentle guidance available if you’d like support deciding.
If you’d prefer a completely hands-off experience, that’s absolutely fine too.
I’m more than happy to plan and style the session for you, taking care of every detail so you don’t have to. On the day, you can simply arrive with your baby, some milk, and a nappy bag, knowing everything else has been thoughtfully prepared.
Your baby will be cared for calmly and gently throughout the session, allowing you time to rest, relax, and take a moment for yourself — while beautiful memories are created along the way.
Parents, Siblings & Family Styling
Parents and siblings are always welcome to be included in your newborn session, regardless of the collection you choose.
For simpler sessions, I’m happy to provide styling suggestions ahead of time to help you choose outfits that work beautifully together and create a cohesive, natural look.
For families choosing a more immersive experience, higher collections allow time for full family styling, using pieces from my client wardrobe to create coordinated, storytelling images — from mum’s dress to baby’s wraps, and complementary outfits for siblings.
This allows for a more dramatic, fine-art feel, while still keeping the session calm and baby-led.
Whether simple or fully styled, every family is photographed with care, patience, and attention to what feels right for you.
When to Book Your Newborn Session
Newborn sessions are best booked during pregnancy to ensure availability.
Sessions usually take place within the first 2–3 weeks after birth, when babies are sleepiest and most settled. Your exact session date is flexible and confirmed once your baby arrives.
A Seamless Journey from Bump to Baby
Many families choose to book both maternity and newborn sessions together to capture their story from pregnancy through to their baby’s first days.
Booking both sessions together also offers a saving on your newborn session fee.
