How My Newborn Photoshoots Work
01
Enjoy My Gallery
The best place to start is simply to flick through some of my images on the website. Naturally images on the website are never as sharp as the real images as they’d take ages to load up on the website. This will give you some ideas and shows the calibre of my work.
02
Let’s Chat
I do like to have a chat and learn exactly what my clients really want, and also offer some ideas that they may never of considered. We can chat about everything from your due dates, to sessions dates, to costs, to payment plans, to styles, or just about anything else. I’m very relaxed.
03
Book In Your Session
My photography slots do get booked up quickly and I’ll always do my utmost to get you booked in. The quicker we book in the better. Normally we’ll chat about your due date and pick a date after. This tends to works out just fine, sometimes if births are early or late, we’ll adapt.
04
Enjoy The Shoot
My clients all say the same thing, my home studio is so relaxed and warm, so my parents are all quickly enjoying the Newborn Photoshoot. And that’s the key, we 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
After your photoshoot, I prepare 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, having seen the images and decided on your favourites.
06
Select Image Package
Selecting your Images couldn’t be easier. All the preview images have unique numbers which you can 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 relatively 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), albeit this is rare and only on specific request, this is advanced edited and chargeable at a separate rate. Please allow 2-8 weeks depending on workload and holidays.
08
Review & Sign Off
Following the Finalisation and Touching, I’ll provide the images via the digital preview portal for you to review and sign off. Any minor edits can be completed swiftly. Once you are happy and have signed off, we can prepare for release of your images. Full payment will be required before the watermark can be removed which is an industry standard. All the images are fully licensed for your personal use.
09

Enjoy your images, This can be digital or print format, all books are fully bespoke with great options to suit all budgets!
Personalised
Newborn Photoshoots
Every newborn session can be uniquely tailored with personal touches that reflect your family’s story. Whether it’s a cherished teddy, a special blanket, or props representing your favourite football team, sport, or hobby, these meaningful items can be gently incorporated into your shoot. These little details add a beautiful, personal layer to your photographs, making them even more special to look back on for years to come.
Newborn, Parent &
Sibling Photoshoots
The photoshoot is also a chance to capture the love and connection within your growing family. Parents, siblings, brothers and sisters are always welcome to be part of the session. From cuddles with mum and dad to sweet sibling moments, we’ll create a warm, relaxed space where everyone feels comfortable, and the result is a collection of magical, heartfelt images you’ll treasure forever.
Client Testimonials
About your Newborn Photoshoot
My photoshoots are all about having a great experience for you and your baby, whilst I capture the most incredible photographs that you and your family will love for many years to come in a relaxed and safe environment. The sessions are held at my professional home studio, with all my specialist equipment and lighting, and extra heating to keep baby warm and snug !!
I draw on my years of experience but also my specialist’s skills to dress, wrap, position, and pose your baby safely, to get the most adorable photos. Your little one’s comfort and safety always come first.
To achieve those very cute sleepy curled-up images it is best to book within the baby’s first two weeks or within the first 21 days.
Costs & Image Packages
My Photography Prices are segregated in two parts to provide you with maximum flexibility and control:
STEP 1 – You simply book via email or telephone, and pay for your session to secure your date.
STEP 2 – You then choose your Image Collection, starting from £100 – £395
The prices are segregated to allow my parents to enjoy the session without pressure to buy their Image Collection until they have a feel for the images taken and have seen the initial examples. This prevents parents from having to layout for images without understanding what they are buying and it allows you to select higher packages with confidence in the quality and variety.
Home Studio Vs High Street Studio
Your little one will be warm and cosy in my Home Studio based in Cawston, Rugby. It’s the perfect environment to let your little one relax and snooze whilst we capture your first incredible baby photoshoot. We always enjoy the photography sessions and then after you’ve seen the photographs you can decide how many images you want to buy. Remember you can pay monthly to spread the costs.
Editing Time & Editing Including
Following your photoshoot, your images will be filtered and edited in readiness to showcase with you via a secure digital portal. All images will have watermarks until final payment is received. This allows you to enjoy reviewing your images at your leisure or with loved ones from the secure digital portal.
The selected images will undergo any light editing and final touching as required (this excludes advanced editing). Light editing and final touching, includes cropping, lighting adjustments, colour changes, skin and hair adjustments and various removals, to make your images even sharper.
Colours & Props
Your session includes the use of all my throws, wraps, props, and headbands which will all be washed and cleaned after each session. Up on arrival, you’ll be able to choose what colours like and look at the various wraps and props. You are welcome to bring along any toys, items, props, and outfits to add that personal touch.

FAQ - Newborn Questions & Answers
1. What to Bring?
The photoshoots are held at my studio, with all equipment and lighting, this means everything from outfits, wraps, stuffies and props are all available to choose when you arrive.
If you have a special or meaningful item to the little one you bring that along for me to incorporate into your photoshoot.
One big thing to remember is plenty of milk as it can become thirsty work being a model, and plenty of nappies. You would be surprised sometimes how many nappies your little one can go through in a photoshoot!
2. How long do the Photoshoots Last?
My sessions are created to be very relaxed and to put you and your baby first at every step. Typically lasting between 3 – 4 hours, allowing plenty of time to stop whether that’s to settle your baby, feed, nappy changes, or even just to have a chat about what each setup offers.
Please do not be anxious, I’m a professional and have three children of my own, so I certainly know it can be hard and stressful and I love helping you. Even though its a little daunting to think up to 4 hours for your little ones to have a photoshoot, don’t worry at all, you can simply sit and relax, chat to me the whole time or just sit back and take in the ambience.
Most of my parents end up so relaxed they start guessing which theme songs are playing from my instrumental music in the background!
3. What’s the best age to have the newborn photoshoot?
Most photographers recommend scheduling your session within the first 2 weeks after birth, ideally between 5–14 days, when your little ones are naturally sleepiest and easiest to pose. However, beautiful images can be captured beyond this window too, it’s just a little more about capturing natural moments as baby becomes more alert. For more tips on timing and preparation, check my What to Expect section.
4. Can siblings, pets, or parents join the session?
Absolutely, and I encourage it! Including siblings and parents adds warmth and connection to your images. These shared moments create treasured memories of your family’s first days together . Let me know ahead of time so we can ensure there’s plenty of time for relaxed, natural group shots. My Studio is not huge, so 2 adults and 2 children is about right.
5. Is it safe for my baby during the photoshoot?
Yes ! your baby’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have years of experience as a newborn photographer and work gently, with baby-led posing and plenty of breaks for feeds or cuddles. My studio is kept warm and calm, and I use only soft, clean props and blankets to ensure a safe, relaxed environment throughout.
6. When will we receive our edited photos?
You’ll typically receive your fully edited gallery within 2 to 6 weeks after the session, depending on my workload. I take time to carefully hand-edit each image to ensure a soft, polished finish you’ll love. Once ready, you’ll be sent a secure online gallery to view and select your favourites, with print and album options available too.
