Congratulations on becoming parents! The first few months after your baby comes into this world are special, exciting and joyous. A Baby Photoshoot is the perfect way to encapsulate these memories forever.
As a mother of three children, an ex nursery nurse and a DBS certified photographer specialising in baby portrait photography – I have many areas of life to pull experience from that makes me the ideal choice for taking your baby’s photos.

ABOUT YOUR Baby Shoot
RElax WITH THE PROFESSIONAL ....
As a full-time photographer specialising in baby photography, you can rest assured that the photographs I will take for you will be of the highest quality. Every photoshoot is special to me, and I do everything I can to ensure it’s an enjoyable experience for both you and your baby. With my years of experience as a photographer, and also a full-time mum of three, you will be welcomed into the studio with a full understanding of your baby’s needs; this includes extra breaks for feeding, nappy changes and cuddles!
Our babies aren’t babies for very long and a baby photoshoot is one of the best ways to document this wonderful first year in a classy way that can be displayed everywhere and shared with family. Every baby photoshoot is held in my cosy home-studio based in the Midlands equipped with the best professional equipment, lighting and a great sofa for you to relax on.
If your vision includes pictures of your baby curled up in a box, in a bucket, on a blanket or furs – I recommend booking your photoshoot within baby’s first 2 weeks. We’ll have lots of time to discuss other ideas you’ve had too!
What to Bring To the Shoot?
ESSENTIALS & FAVOURITE PROPS
The most important things to bring with you on the day of your photoshoot, is plenty of nappies and plenty of milk! Your baby may surprise you with how hungry they get whilst they are here and also how many nappies they may go through whilst being posed, changed and swaddled.
Additionally, if you’d like to include some special items, toys or outfits from home I absolutely welcome this! We can find special ways to incorporate these items into your images for you for a special touch.
I also have a selection of outfits, throws and props in the studio you are more than welcome to use too!
HOW LONG DO THE BABY PHOTOSHOOTS LAST?
2-4 HOurs - (AverAGE 3HRS)
On average, you will be with me for your photoshoot between 3 and 4 hours. Keeping your baby safe and comfortable throughout the photoshoot is imperative to getting the best photos. As a mother myself, I totally understand how much time it may take to get those perfect photos. My photoshoots are always very relaxed with ample opportunity to feed, change and cuddle with your baby in between photos.
You are free to relax on the sofa and chat with me whilst I work, or just enjoy the gentle background music and cosy environment whilst I capture your magical pictures. There will be plenty of opportunities to discuss ideas and look at the photos so far throughout the day.
Colours & Props
BRING THE RAINBOW .....
Once you’re settled into my home studio you may wish to browse through my selection of throws, blankets, headbands and props to choose out some to use in your photos! Use of these items is all included in your photoshoot price and every item is cleaned between every session, so you can be rest assured your baby is safe.
I often also encourage families to bring with them some outfits, a favourite toy or an item that means a lot to them from home too so that we have plenty of accessories to choose from. If you wish to display these photographs in your house you may wish to consider which tones, accents and colours would look best with your home too.
COSTS & IMAGE PACKAGES
AFFORDABLE & FLEXIBLE .....
To ensure my prices are always upfront and it is clear exactly what you are paying for; I split my payments into two parts.
Part 1: Book your Baby Photoshoot! Choose a date that suits you (and the type of images you are looking for) and book in with me. Payment for your photoshoot will be due before the day.
Part 2: Choose an image collection, starting from £100, this will include the editing and finishing of all images you want from the shoot.
I keep the prices of my photoshoots and packages competitive to make my photoshoots accessible for as many parents as possible, whilst still providing the best service and the highest-quality photographs. Upon your visit to my studio, I will be happy to show you examples of my finished work in person so that you can be confident that you’ll only be paying for the best.
EDITING TIME & EDITING INCLUDED
ThE MAgic Software ....
After your photoshoot I will prepare all of the images into a secure, online gallery for you to browse at your leisure. These images will be watermarked, as per industry standard, and you will be able to choose which of the images we took for me to edit and finalise.
It regularly takes around 4-8 weeks for me to complete the editing process. The cost of basic editing/finishing including; light adjustments, skin and hair adjustments, small removals and cropping is included in your package price. Most families find that this service is more than adequate to achieve the photographs they want, however for more complex editing; image splicing or significant image adjustments, this is charged at an additional £75 per hour.
Physical albums and prints are also available, please ask me for a quote!
HOME STUDIO vs HIGH STREET STUDIO
Personalised & Relaxed
My home studio has been purpose built to be the ideal environment for taking baby portraits. Equipped with the best quality professional equipment and excellent lighting, we don’t have to worry about the weather to get the best photographs. Gentle background music and additional heating keep your baby comfortable and warm throughout the session and a comfortable sofa makes for a great place for you to sit and relax whilst I work.
A lot of my client’s babies choose to sleep through the entire session, which is never a problem, but is a great testimony to how comfortable and calming my studio can be!

How My Baby Photography Works
01
Enjoy My Gallery
A good place to start is to have a look through some of my images on the website. The images you see on my website are of a lower resolution to those you could expect from a shoot (High-resolution images would take too long to load!). The edited images you’d receive would be crisper, sharper and of the highest quality. From the examples on this site, you can get an idea of what you want to achieve with your own shoot.
02
Let’s Chat
Once you’ve made contact, the best way to begin is to have a relaxed chat and learn exactly what you really want, and also offer some ideas that you may never have considered. We can chat about everything from your due dates, to sessions dates, to costs, payment plans and styles. This chat is very relaxed and gives us a chance to get to know each other.
03
Book In Your Session
My photography slots are in high demand and do get booked up quickly but I’ll always do my utmost to find a slot that works for the both of us. The quicker we book in, the better. Normally, we’ll choose a date after your due date that you’re comfortable with. Of course due dates aren’t an exact science, so I will always adapt to when baby comes!
04
Enjoy The Shoot
I have designed my home studio to be relaxed and warm, and my clients agree. The studio is arranged to ensure my clients are comfortable and can enjoy the shoot. One of the key processes to great baby photography is to have some fun, try different ideas and if you need to stop for feeding etc, we just stop and chat, until we are ready to try again.
05
Preview Your Images
Once all the photographs have been taken, I’ll typically aim to get the watermarked images into a preview state for you to review on a shared digital portal. This allows you to consider which Image Bundle you wish to purchase, along with which of your favourite images go forward to be edited and finalised.
06
Select Image Package
During a shoot, I will take as many photographs as I can to ensure to capture those perfect moments. Luckily, choosing your favourites is nice and easy. All the preview images have unique numbers for you to provide along with your chosen Image Bundle (Image Bundles are sets of images for a fixed price). Then I can start the Finalisation and Touching process.
07
Finalisation & Touching
Due to my photography style, experience & set up, post image editing is usually minimal, consisting of light finalisation i.e. cropping, light adjustments and touching such as blemish, skin and hair adjustments. Complex editing is not included such as splicing (swapping parts of images), but if this is needed to achieve your dream images, advanced edits are available, chargeable at a separate rate. Your photos will usually be completed within 2-8 weeks.
08
Review & Sign Off
Once you chosen images are edited, I’ll provide them via the digital preview portal for you to review and sign off. Any additional minor edits can be completed quickly at this stage, too. Once you’re happy with the images and have signed off, we can prepare for delivery of your images. Full payment will be required before the watermark can be removed which is an industry standard.
09
Enjoy Your Images
I provide a range of bespoke image bundle options to suit all budgets and payment plans are available on request. Whether you chose digital only or printed photos, they are now yours to enjoy!
