Maternity and Newborn Photography


Everything is changing, and a new journey is just beginning. It’s a time of quiet transformation, where each day brings you closer to holding your precious little one in your arms. From gentle kicks to moments of anticipation, this season is filled with laughter, tears, tenderness and memories you’ll want to hold onto forever. If you’ve found your way here and are thinking about capturing this special time with your family, you’re in the right place. This is the first step towards creating something timeless, photographs you’ll return to for years to come.


When is the best time to book your maternity and newborn photo session?

Maternity sessions are best booked when your baby bump is beautifully visible, while you’re still feeling comfortable and able to enjoy the experience. The ideal time is usually between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy, allowing us to capture this chapter in a relaxed and natural way.


When should you book a newborn photo session?

The best time for a newborn photo session is between the fifth and fourteenth day after your baby is born. During this time, babies are usually sleepier and more settled, especially when held in their parents’ arms. The place where they feel safest and most comfortable. All newborn sessions take place in your own home, allowing you to relax in a familiar, calm environment. I photograph your baby naturally, focusing on gentle moments, tiny details and the beautiful connection between you and your newborn without rushing and without forcing any poses.

If your baby is older than 14 days, please don’t worry. Beautiful, meaningful photographs can be taken at any stage, and it’s never too late to capture these early memories together.

Planning ahead for your Maternity & Newborn Photos?


Many parents choose to book both their maternity and newborn photo sessions together, allowing them to relax knowing these special moments are already planned.


When you book both sessions at the same time, you’ll receive £50 off for your newborn session. This also means we can reserve space in my diary around your due date, giving you peace of mind and flexibility once your baby arrives.
