Newborn and baby

 

I absolutely loved capturing my own baby, especially those tiny newborn details like eyelashes, little hands, and those first sleepy expressions. I know how tricky it can be to get out and about in those early days, so I bring everything to you to capture your baby and your new family in a relaxed, lifestyle way.


There’s something really special about photographing your baby in the place they’ll grow up. The rocking chair you’ll feed them in, the nursery you’ve carefully put together (or the half-finished one!), favourite blankets and little corners of your home all become part of the story. These details often become the most meaningful to look back on years later.


I believe these fleeting moments deserve to be captured fully. That’s why my sessions are all-inclusive with no hidden costs, and I deliver a full album of photos for you to treasure.


Babies are wonderfully unpredictable, so there’s no rush during a session. We can pause to feed, change or settle your little one, and sessions usually last around 1–2 hours to keep everything calm and natural.


Newborn sessions are best within the first 14 days, so I recommend getting in touch during your third trimester to provisionally book a date. This can easily be adjusted if your baby arrives early. And if you miss the first two weeks, don’t worry - just keep in mind babies may be less sleepy and swaddling might not be suitable.
