NEWBORN, MATERNITY & BABY MILESTONES PHOTOGRAPHY

NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY

Soft. Simple. Full of love.

Those early days with your baby are incredibly special — quiet, gentle, and full of moments you’ll want to hold onto. My newborn sessions are designed to capture that feeling in the most natural, simple way: tiny details, sleepy stretches, and the closeness of being together in your little newborn bubble.

​

My style is minimalist and timeless, with soft tones, natural posing, and a peaceful, unhurried atmosphere. No props or distractions — just your baby, exactly as they are.

​

What to Expect

​

Newborn sessions take place in my warm, cosy studio, where everything is set up for you — soft fabrics, gentle lighting and a calm space to relax. I’ll guide you through the session so you can simply enjoy the moment while I photograph your baby.

​

I usually photograph newborns between 5–21 days old, but slightly older babies are always welcome too. Every little one is different, and I work at their pace to keep everything comfortable and calm.

​

What I Capture

​

  • Tiny fingers, toes and delicate details

  • Curled-up, natural newborn poses

  • Mum, dad and sibling connections

  • Simple, neutral setups

  • Beautiful lifestyle moments of cuddles and closeness

​

MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY

Celebrating the beauty of your growing story.

Pregnancy is such a special time — full of anticipation, change, and a love that’s already beginning to grow. My maternity sessions are all about celebrating you and the connection you already share with your baby, in a way that feels natural, calm and quietly beautiful.

​

I photograph maternity sessions in a relaxed, minimal style, using gentle posing and flattering, soft light to create portraits that feel honest, simple and timeless.

​

When to Book

​

The best time for maternity photos is between 28–36 weeks, when your bump is round and defined, but you’re still comfortable.

​

A Calm, Confident Experience

​

There’s no need to worry about posing — I guide you throughout the session with simple, relaxed direction so everything feels natural and comfortable. Partners and siblings are very welcome to join.

​

You can choose:

  • A clean, studio setting with soft, neutral tones

  • An outdoor session at golden hour for warm, natural light

 

 

​What I Capture

​

  • Graceful, flattering portraits

  • Soft, intimate moments

  • Expectant parents together

  • Sweet interactions with older siblings

  • Close-up details that celebrate your bump

​

Digital images, prints and collections are purchased separately, allowing you to choose exactly what suits you best.

​

A gallery of simple, gentle, beautifully meaningful images that celebrate this moment in your journey to meeting your baby.

​

BABY MILESTONES PHOTOGRAPHY

Capturing every stage of growing up.

Babies change so quickly in their first year — one moment they’re lifting their head, then sitting, crawling, giggling and discovering the world with endless curiosity.

 

Milestone sessions are a lovely way to pause and remember each stage as it is right now.

​

My approach is simple and baby-led, focusing on natural expressions, playful moments and all the personality that shines through at this age.

​

Ideal Ages

​

Milestone sessions work beautifully at:

  • 3–4 months - head lifting, smiles, tummy time

  • 6–9 months - sitting, reaching, giggling

  • 12 months - standing, first steps, or relaxed birthday portraits

  • ​

What to Expect

​

Sessions take place in my clean, neutral studio with soft lighting and minimal props. Babies are happiest when they feel safe and comfortable, so everything is relaxed, playful and unhurried.

​

Expect:

  • Simple backdrop in neutral tones

  • Gentle direction and plenty of interaction

  • A focus on natural expressions and personality rather than props

  • A calm, child-paced session from start to finish

​

What I Capture

​

  • Big smiles, little toes and curious eyes

  • Natural, candid expressions

  • Sitting, crawling or playful movement

  • Close-up details and classic portraits

  • Optional parent portraits for memory-keeping

 

Session Fee — from £50 for a 1-Hour Milestone Session

Weekday session - £50

Weekend session - £70

​

Your milestone session fee includes:
✔ 1-hour photography session
✔ Pre-shoot phone consultation to plan outfits, style and expectations
✔ In-person viewing & ordering appointment to choose prints, digitals or packages
✔ A beautifully edited proof gallery presented at your ordering session

​

Digital images, prints and packages are purchased separately so you can choose what works best for you.

​

Optional Add-Ons

​

Cake Smash — £30 add-on

​

A simple, fun way to celebrate your little one’s first birthday. These sessions are all about seeing their reactions to their very own little cake — pure joy and curiosity!

 

The setup is kept simple and relaxed so your child’s expressions shine. I provide a low-sugar 6-inch sponge with soft icing, and the session is styled in a clean and neutral way to keep the focus on your baby.

​

Bath Splash — £20 add-on

​

Perfect for sitters or first birthdays, this is a playful way to end your session. A little warm bath, gentle bubbles (optional) and plenty of giggles — capturing those joyful, natural moments of your baby enjoying water.​

​

Smash & Splash — £40 add-on

​

For those who’d like both the Cake Smash and the warm Bath Splash afterwards.
A lovely way to celebrate a first birthday — simple, fun and beautifully natural from start to finish.

​​

Optional add-ons are available in addition to your booked milestone session.

​

The Result

​

Milestone sessions create a beautiful record of your baby’s first year — simple, heartfelt photographs that will mean even more as the years go by.
