NEWBORN

The first ten days with a new baby exist in their own bubble - the endless feeds, skin-to-skin cuddles, and the slow realisation that everything has changed. I recently spent a morning with a family in Clapham who had just welcomed their 10-day-old baby boy, documenting the earliest days of their very first week as a three.

Two monumental life chapters rarely overlap as intensely as welcoming a newborn during a house move. For this session in Kilburn, a lovely family was bringing home their very first baby - a sweet little girl - while simultaneously packing up their flat to move just days later.

A new baby transforms the atmosphere of a home almost overnight. The pace slows to a crawl, and the morning belongs entirely to quiet snuggles on the sofa and watching your newborn while they sleep.

There is a slow-paced magic to the early weeks of parenthood. The days blend softly into one another, filled with quiet snuggles, gentle skin-to-skin cuddles, and the sheer wonder of watching a brand-new person settle into the world. Recently, I had the joy of documenting this serene milestone for a lovely family in Wapping.

Welcoming a newborn into the world is always a milestone worth pausing for, but every now and then, a session comes together that feels particularly profound. Recently, I spent a sun-drenched morning in West London photographing a wonderful family in their Holland Park home to celebrate the arrival of their sweet baby boy. Making the morning even more memorable, the baby's aunt had flown all the way from India to meet her new nephew for the very first time.

Life rarely waits for the perfect moment - and more often than not, the biggest milestones arrive all at once. Recently, I packed up my camera for a newborn session in Battersea with a family right in the thick of a major life transition. With their forever home in Wimbledon undergoing a full renovation, they had just unpacked into a temporary flat to spend those first special weeks with their brand-new baby boy.

There is an undeniable, quiet magic to those first few months with a new baby. It’s a blur of slow mornings, coffee left forgotten on the kitchen counter, and the realisation of just how rapidly your whole world is shifting. Recently, I spent a peaceful morning in Clapham capturing an in-home newborn photography session with a mother and her eight-week-old baby boy.

There is a real stillness that enters a house when a baby arrives. The world outside slows right down, and your entire universe shrinks to the size of this tiny, perfect little person. Recently, I spent a beautiful morning in East Dulwich capturing a newborn photoshoot with first-time parents navigating those precious early weeks.
