Newborn Session
If your looking for natural, heart warming newborn portraits, you’re in the right place.
Those first days with your baby are emotional, exhausting, and incredibly fleeting. My role isn’t just to create beautiful images—it’s to take the pressure off you entirely. From the moment you book, I guide you through every step so you don’t have to make endless decisions or second-guess yourself.
This is a calm, considered experience designed around you, your home, and how you actually want to enjoy your photographs—now and for years to come.
Complimentary maternity session with every Newborn session booked before Mum is 30 weeks.
How Are You Going to Use Your Portraits?
Before we take a single photograph, we take the time to talk about how you’d like to use your portraits.
We’ll think beyond the session itself and consider the spaces in your home that could be beautifully finished with bespoke artwork. Are there walls that feel bare? Side tables or bookshelves that would be perfect for framed prints? These details help guide everything we create during your session.
We’ll also consider timing. Could your portraits be enjoyed even more by gifting them to family members? Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas, or meaningful keepsakes for grandparents — once we know who your portraits are for, we can design your session with intention.
This planning ensures you get the most value from your time in the studio. Every image is created with a purpose, so nothing is wasted and nothing is forgotten.
Gone are the days of paying for images that sit on your phone or get lost in a digital folder. And if your social media or cloud storage ever fails — your memories are still safe. With me, you’ll walk away with finished products, ready to be displayed, gifted, and enjoyed.
No stress.
No last-minute trips to IKEA hunting for frames.
No adding another task to your already endless to-do list.
This is a fully guided, stress-free experience — designed especially for busy mums who want more than just a photoshoot. You’ll leave with portraits you love, products you’ll actually use, and the peace of mind that everything has been taken care of.

Your Investment
When you book a newborn session with me, your experience is thoughtfully split into two simple stages. This allows you to relax, enjoy the process, and make confident decisions after you’ve seen your finished portraits.
1. Session Fee — £195
The session fee secures your place in my studio and covers the time, care, and expertise that goes into creating your newborn portraits.
-
Paid at the time of booking (most families book around the 20-week mark)

Non-refundable, as it reserves your session date and my availability
As a thank you for booking early, all newborn sessions reserved before Mum reaches 30 weeks include a complimentary maternity session.
Your maternity portraits are presented alongside your newborn images and can be included in the final collection you choose.
2. Portrait Collections & Artwork

Frequently Asked Questions
The first question most clients ask is: "How can we book a session if we don't know when the baby is going to arrive?"
It’s really very simple.
When you book your newborn session, I pencil in your due date. This allows me to keep a session available for you two weeks before and two weeks after your due date. That way, no matter when your baby arrives, we always have space for you during that four-week window.
Dad’s job: When baby arrives and Dad is busy texting family and friends to share the news, he just needs to add me to that list. Once I receive the message, I’ll reply with something like: “Congratulations — your photography session is Tuesday at 10am.”
Easy, stress-free, and one less thing for you to think about.
Where does the session take place?
All sessions take place at my home-based studio in Hayes, UB3 2TH — a calm, warm space designed with new parents in mind.
Having experienced childbirth myself, I understand how tender those first couple of weeks can feel. For that reason, the studio is set up to be as comfortable and relaxing as possible. There’s a cosy sofa positioned right next to the coffee machine (where most dads tend to snuggle up — and often fall asleep), while still offering a clear view of where I’ll be gently posing your baby.
This means you can rest, watch the session unfold, enjoy a hot drink, and know your baby is always close by — while all the magic happens in front of you.
How long does a session last?
Maternity sessions usually last around 1 hour. Newborn sessions typically last between 2–4 hours. Newborn sessions are unhurried and baby-led, allowing plenty of time for feeding, changing, cuddles, and settling. There is never any rushing — your baby’s comfort always comes first.
What should we bring to the session?
You’ve packed your hospital bag — now it’s time to pack a photography bag.
After booking, you’ll receive a detailed session guide that walks you through the entire process, what to expect in the studio, and includes a simple checklist of what to bring. I recommend packing this bag as soon as you can after booking, before going into labour. Trust me — once baby arrives, having this already prepared makes the whole experience so much smoother.
What happens after the photoshoot?
Following your newborn session, we’ll schedule a viewing appointment so you can see all your portraits from the comfort of your own home.
At your appointed time, I’ll call you and email a link to your online gallery. We’ll watch a slideshow of your final images set to music — I challenge you not to shed a tear! Once you’re happy, you’ll confirm which package you’d like and make payment.
Orders typically take 1–4 weeks to be professionally produced. When everything arrives, I’ll send you a text to arrange a convenient date and time for you to collect your finished artwork and images.
