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

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.
