newborn Session

Welcome, and Congratulations!

If you’re looking for a newborn photographer who will capture beautiful, love-filled memories, you’ve come to the right place! First, let me say a huge congratulations—I’m so excited for you and your family.

I know there’s a million things on your to-do list right now—decorating the nursery, packing hospital bags, choosing a name, and of course, finding the perfect newborn photographer to document this special time. As a mother myself, I understand how it can feel like you have all the time in the world one moment and then suddenly realise—OMG, I only have weeks left!

That’s why I recommend booking your newborn session as soon as possible—anytime after your 12-week scan is perfect. The ideal time for me to capture your little one is between 1-3 weeks old, so I’d love to secure the perfect date for you! I’ll provisionally book you in based on your due date, but since babies arrive on their own schedule, my newborn sessions are completely flexible. All I ask is that you keep in touch and let me know how things are going.

I want this experience to feel as magical as it should! A newborn session is a chance to soak in this beautiful moment, and I’ll be there to capture every bit of it—preserving these fleeting, precious memories for a lifetime. 

If you’ve seen my work, you’ll know I’m all about the beautiful little details—those tiny fingers and toes, sweet expressions, and all the moments you never want to forget. Because, as they say, time really does fly!

I can’t wait to create these special memories with you. 

prices start from £300

Relax, soak up the moment, and let me capture the beauty of this special time.

I offer newborn photography in my cosy studio or the comfort of your own home.

My style is natural and emotive, focusing on the raw beauty of those early days with your little one. To keep the session timeless and authentic, I use a simple, elegant setup—allowing you and your baby to be at the heart of every image.

I specialise in a baby-led approach, ensuring your baby is always comfortable, whether cradled in your arms or resting on the softest beanbag. My goal is to create a calm, relaxed atmosphere where we can capture those fleeting moments just as they are—pure, tender, and full of love.




Once you've booked, we’ll arrange a pre-session call where I can introduce myself and help you prepare. We’ll go over outfit inspiration, session details, and any questions you might have, so you feel completely at ease before the big day.

After your session, you’ll be invited to a virtual viewing appointment, where you can choose your favourite images. Each selected photo will be hand-edited to the highest standard, with your final gallery delivered within 4 weeks.

These moments are fleeting, but together, we’ll create memories that last a lifetime.

Let’s capture this beautiful chapter in your family’s story.
