There is something really special about those first few weeks with a new baby. The tiny fingers, the sleepy stretches, the way they curl up so perfectly in your arms. It goes by so quickly and it is such a precious time to capture.

This recent newborn session at my studio was a perfect example of everything I love about newborn photography.

When Baby Arrives Earlier Than Expected

This little one arrived two weeks earlier than planned, which meant mum and dad were understandably worried they might miss that all important newborn window.

Newborn sessions are best photographed within the first couple of weeks when babies are still very sleepy and curly, but life does not always go to plan. Luckily we were able to fit them in and the session was just lovely.

From the moment they arrived, the focus was on keeping everything calm and relaxed. No rushing, no pressure and absolutely no forcing baby into anything they were not happy with.

Baby completely led the session and was a dream to photograph.

A Baby Led Approach Always

Every newborn session I photograph is completely baby led.

That means your baby’s comfort always comes first.Feeding, changing and cuddles are never rushed.We work around your baby, not a rigid shot list.

I will never prioritise a photo over your baby’s wellbeing. If baby needs a cuddle, a feed or a break, we stop and take that time.

This approach creates calm babies, relaxed parents and natural, beautiful images full of connection.

Natural, Timeless Newborn Photography

My style is all about simplicity and connection.

I do not overpose babies, I do not force unnatural positions and I do not overcomplicate sessions with lots of props. Instead I focus on real cuddles, tiny details and genuine moments.

The result is a gallery that feels warm, emotional and completely natural to your family. The kind of images you will still love just as much in years to come.

A Calm and Comfortable Studio Experience

My studio has been designed with new parents in mind.

It is warm and cosy for newborns, calm and private, and easy to get to with parking right outside.

You can settle in, have a drink, feed your baby and just enjoy the experience without feeling rushed or stressed.

The Signature Session Experience

My Signature Newborn Session is perfect for parents who want a slower, more relaxed experience.

There is no clock watching and no pressure.

You have time to settle your baby, relax between photos and enjoy the moment. Newborn days can feel like a blur and this gives you a chance to pause and soak it all in.
