The newborn stage is so fast that you could honestly blink and miss it. It's a whirlwind of sleepless nights, midwife appointments and getting to know your new little person!

If you have decided to capture all these wonderful newborn details with a newborn photography session, then it’s worth remembering that the ideal age is within the first 14 days. After this time your baby will likely be less curled up and less sleepy – that's not to say we can't still capture some amazing images though!

When you arrive for your session we will discuss the styles that you love, the session we will have, and I will work with you to capture the type of images you will want to cherish forever. My sessions are adapted to your preferences - if you have seen a particular photo you love or dislike do let me know, if you want a more natural session with minimal posing and props this is also doable - I want you to LOVE your photos so please do not hesitate to tell me! Ideally you need to book during pregnancy as my diary fills very quickly, and using your estimated due date we create a temporary booking which we can confirm or move once baby has arrived - in case baby is early, late or longer recovery is needed.

As newborn shoots are baby led, we go at your baby’s pace, always ensuring that they are content and comfortable, please allow up to 2 hours for your newborn photography session. This is to allow us extra time for feeding, peeing, pooping and of course cuddling!  

I HIGHLY encourage you to have parent photos done at your session, this is of no extra cost and even though you may not feel your best and may be tired, these are usually the most treasured photos from galleries - no awkward and uncomfortable 'cheese' moment but the emotion and connection between you and your baby in their first days of life.

Siblings and well behaved dogs may also attend your session but this MUST be arranged in advance.
