NEWBORN
Intimate in-home portraits for babies up to 8 weeks old
My newborn sessions are thoughtfully designed to capture the beauty of your baby’s earliest days in the comfort of your own home. Those first few weeks are quietly transformative, and an in-home session allows you to slow down and remain in a space that already feels familiar, without interruption or expectation. No studios. No harsh lighting. No pressure. Just real life, beautifully documented.
My approach is calm and intuitive, rooted in lifestyle storytelling and guided by an editorial eye. I don’t direct moments - I observe them as they naturally unfold. Your baby is always at the centre, but so is everything around them: the way you instinctively soothe them, the pride in a sibling’s eyes, the family dog quietly keeping close by. These are not posed moments - they are the early language of your family life, captured as they are.
For those beautifully fresh newborn moments, the ideal time for a newborn photography session is between 7–21 days old, when your baby is still sleepy and quietly adjusting to their new life on the outside. During this short window, their features are soft and fleeting - a beautiful time to capture the newborn scrunch and earliest details. That said, as a mother myself, I understand that every journey into motherhood is different. That's why my in-home newborn photography sessions are suitable for babies up to eight weeks old, allowing space for recovery and adjustment.
I recommend booking your newborn photography session during pregnancy, ideally between 12–28 weeks. We’ll tentatively plan for the days following your due date, with complete flexibility to adjust once your baby arrives. This ensures availability in those early weeks, so there is one less thing for you to think about.
If your baby has already arrived (congratulations!), please do get in touch. I’ll always do my best to find a space for you as soon as possible.
FAQ'S
HOW TO BOOK YOUR LONDON NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION
Booking your London newborn photography session is simple. Please get in touch by filling out my contact form with your due date or preferred session timing.
If you would like to talk things through before booking, you are very welcome to get in touch at any time. I’m always happy to discuss your ideas, answer questions, and guide you through the process so you feel fully confident in your decision.
WHAT TIME OF DAY WILL OUR LONDON NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION BE?
In-home newborn sessions are usually scheduled in the late morning, when natural light is soft and flattering - ideal for timeless, natural newborn photography.
I only take one newborn booking per day, allowing plenty of time for a calm, unhurried experience that works around feeding, settling, and your baby’s needs. This also means I can be flexible with timing to suit your family’s routine.
WHAT AREAS DO YOU COVER FOR NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY?
I am based in South East London, and all newborn photography sessions include travel within London Zones 1–4.
I am also available for newborn photography sessions further afield. If you are located outside these areas, please get in touch and I will be happy to confirm availability and any additional travel costs.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER BOOKING A NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION IN LONDON?
Once your newborn session date has been confirmed, I will send over your booking contract and invoice. To secure your session, a non-refundable deposit of £150 (or £300 for a newborn photography series) is required. Your date is only secured once the signed contract and deposit have been received.
Following booking, you will receive your client questionnaire and a thoughtfully prepared pre-session guide designed to help you feel fully prepared for your newborn photoshoot.
The remaining balance is due 48 hours before your session date.
WHAT HAPPENS IF MY BABY IS UNWELL BEFORE OUR LONDON NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION?
Your baby’s comfort and wellbeing always come first. To create the most relaxed and natural photographs, it’s important that your little one is feeling well rested and happy on the day of your session.
As a mother myself, I completely understand that babies and young children can unexpectedly become unwell. With this in mind, I offer one complimentary reschedule due to illness, so there is never any pressure to proceed if your baby is not feeling their best.
WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY GALLERY?
Your private online gallery will be delivered within two weeks of your London newborn photography session. Each image is carefully hand-edited in my signature style to create a natural, timeless collection that reflects your family and your newborn’s earliest days.
For families who would like a more immediate turnaround, the Heirloom Collection includes priority editing and an expedited gallery delivery within one week. This option is ideal if you’re eager to share your images with loved ones, or simply prefer an expedited gallery deliver.
You will receive an email as soon as your gallery is ready to view.
