About Newborn Sessions

CAPTURE THOSE FIRST MAGICAL WEEKS OF LIFE. THE BEST TIME FOR A NEWBORN SESSION IS IDEALLY BEFORE YOUR BABY IS FOUR WEEKS OLD.

At this age, babies are naturally sleepy and squishy, making it the ideal time for those wonderful snuggly shots. However, beautiful baby portraits can still be captured after 4 weeks too.

I would also recommend contacting me to make your booking whilst still pregnant or the first few days of baby being born.

Nestled in Staines, Surrey, my home studio is a welcoming and comfortable space, created especially for little ones (and their grown-ups).

Sessions are held in a temperature controlled environment with soft lighting, gentle music, and a calm atmosphere. I use carefully selected props and safe, natural poses to keep your baby comfortable at all times.

There's never any rush, my sessions are relaxed and baby-led, so you can take your time and enjoy the experience. Parents are always welcome to join in for a few photos at the beginning, and then you're free to sit back and relax while I work my magic.

Are you wanting to bring any siblings or grandparents?

That’s absolutely fine, just let me know in advance so we can plan the session to include everyone.

A CALM, COSY SPACE DESIGNED WITH YOUR BABY IN MIND.

Frequently Asked Questions

Newborn Questions

  • I recommend between the first 1–4 weeks of baby being here. That way you can get those cute sleepy, scrunch shots.

  • Ideally it's best to provisionally book your session before baby arrives. We can then alter the date accordingly. If you haven't provisionally booked, I would recommend contacting me as soon as baby has arrived so I can give you my earliest availability.

  • Yes of course. The look will be slightly different from a “typical” newborn style session as baby may no longer want to sleep or be swaddled but we can still get some beautiful shots of baby.
