Why a studio
Why a newborn studio session
A calm, dedicated space

We shape gentle, diffused light for flattering, true-to-life skin tones - beautiful results whatever the weather outside.

Simple & calm
How your studio session works
Pre-birth consultation
We start with a call before your due date to talk through the look you’d love and plan your session. The loveliest, sleepiest images come at about 5 to 14 days, so we reserve a flexible window around your due date. Our guide to when to book a newborn photographer covers the timings in full.
Session day
Your session runs two to three hours, entirely at your baby’s pace, with plenty of time for feeds, settling and sleep. We guide everything gently - no rushing - and parents and older siblings are welcome to join.
Selection & delivery
You’ll receive a private proofing gallery within two to four days to choose your favourites; your hand-edited, high-resolution images then follow within two to four weeks of your selection. Optional prints, wall art and albums can be arranged afterwards.

Good to know
Newborn studio FAQ
When should we book?
We recommend booking during pregnancy - ideally your second or third trimester - and reserving a flexible window around your due date. The loveliest, sleepiest images come at about 5 to 14 days old.
What should we bring?
Keep it simple - bring plenty of feeding supplies, nappies, a dummy if your baby uses one, and any heirloom blanket, soft toy or outfit you’d like included. For parent and sibling portraits, soft, neutral tones photograph beautifully.
How do you keep our baby safe?
Safety comes first, always. Your baby’s head is supported and airway clear in every pose, with a parent within arm’s reach. Any shot that looks “unsupported” is created with composite editing - multiple frames with your baby fully held.
Can we include siblings and family?
Of course - parents, older siblings and grandparents are all welcome. We always make time for gentle family portraits alongside your baby.
