My newborn sessions are designed to create timeless portraits of your baby while providing a calm, relaxed experience for the whole family.
THE Newborn EXPERIENCE
The first weeks with your baby are unlike any other; precious, fleeting and often exhausting.
My newborn sessions are designed to preserve this chapter with timeless, natural portraits that focus on your baby, your family, and the connection between you.
With over a decade of experience photographing newborns, your baby's safety and comfort remain my highest priority throughout every session.
From styling and preparation through to your final artwork selection, you'll be guided every step of the way. Family and sibling photographs are encouraged, with plenty of time allowed for feeding, cuddles and settling along the way.
To ensure every family receives the time, care and attention they deserve, I accept a limited number of newborn bookings each month.

styling your session
Styling is one of the details that can feel overwhelming when preparing for a newborn session, especially during those first weeks with a new baby. That's where I can help.
Everything needed for your baby's portraits is provided, including a carefully curated collection of wraps, knits, blankets and handcrafted newborn pieces sourced from artisan makers around the world. My style is timeless, natural and baby-focused, creating photographs that won't feel dated years from now.
For mothers, access to my client wardrobe is available, featuring a selection of beautiful dresses chosen specifically for photography.
I'll also create a personalised styling guide for your family and help select outfits for partners and siblings, ensuring everything works beautifully together. The result is a cohesive gallery with colours, textures and tones that complement one another without looking overly styled or matching.
My goal is to take the guesswork out of preparing for your session, allowing you to arrive knowing every detail has been taken care of.

FAQ
When should I book my newborn session?
The best time to reserve your newborn session is during pregnancy. I accept a limited number of newborn bookings each month and reserve space around your due date, rather than a specific session date. Once your baby arrives, we'll confirm the exact timing of your session.
How old should my baby be?
Newborn sessions are ideally photographed within the first two to three weeks of life, however beautiful images can still be created beyond this window.
What if my baby won't sleep?
Sessions are completely baby-led and allow plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, settling and breaks. With over a decade of experience photographing newborns, I work at your baby's pace and adjust my workflow to as needed.
