Precious Moments Treasured Forever
Newborn Photoshoots are typically 2 hrs to 3hrs in duration.
Book a provisional date in my diary, around 8-12 after your predicted due date to secure a time slot, but newborns choose their own timings for arriving, so we can move the date as required. Alternatively, wait until after giving birth to book in. I would always advise contact me prior to discuss your requirements and give me some notice.
My focus is always on pure elegance, simplicity, and a beautiful, enduring style. I specialise in capturing your newborn in natural sleeping poses that are comfortable and gentle, ensuring they look soft and serene. This approach is designed to be timeless, avoiding trendy props or complicated setups. We use subtle touches of colour or minimal headgear, keeping the spotlight entirely on the delicate features of your baby, creating portraits that truly last. This is all about photography quality and editing skill.
Swaddling gently mimics the secure feeling of the womb, helping your newborn settle into a deep, serene sleep and looks so cute and elegant.
We’ll use luxurious, finely textured wraps in soft, organic colours to create a timeless, comforting look. This allows us to capture those sweet, curled-up expressions and delicate features while ensuring your baby is perfectly warm and happy throughout the session.
Baskets, Baths & Bucket Poses offer an opportunity to have some fun and capture some unique and creative newborn imagery. These are often the favourite shots from the gallery, as they allow us to capture your baby in imaginative settings—from rustic baskets to soft, miniature ‘milk bath’ scenes.
Many of the most popular, seemingly gravity-defying images are actually composites, meaning your baby is safely supported by hands at all times. I meticulously blend multiple photographs during the editing process to achieve the final, seamless look.
Fun & Heirloom Poses are all about capturing the moments that involve your family’s most cherished heirlooms or personalities. This is where your session becomes truly one-of-a-kind.
These are the portraits that focus on the natural intimacy of your new family, the gentle touch of a parent’s hand on a cheek, tiny feet held in a palm, or siblings sharing a first look. We can also gently incorporate your special items, a favourite teddy, a rugby ball, or a special cap, to reflect your unique story.
These intimate moments beautifully balance the stylised shots, creating a final gallery that is both elegant and deeply personal.
Monochrome portraits are the ultimate in sophistication, eliminating colour to focus entirely on emotion, connection, and beautiful contrast.
This style is used to create incredible, high-impact imagery that becomes true artwork for your home. We specifically specialise in close-up compositions featuring your baby nestled safely in your hands, or cradled by your arms, where the texture of your skin next to theirs tells a powerful, loving story. The result is pure, timeless elegance.
Family & Sibling Poses are the most emotionally resonant portraits we create. We believe the early connections between a newborn, their siblings, and the loving bond with parents, deserve to be captured beautifully.
We adopt a relaxed, patient approach to ensure every member of your family feels comfortable and included. Our style focuses on natural, genuine interactions, gentle kisses, tiny hands holding the baby’s head, or simply snuggling close. There’s no pressure for forced poses; instead, we capture those truly heartfelt moments.
Black & White Family Chic is my ultimate offering in timeless, high-impact photography. By removing colour, I eliminate distraction, allowing the viewer to focus entirely on emotion, texture, and connection.
I specialise in creating classic, artistic portraits of your new family. The focus is on the gentle lines of a parent’s arms, the intimate bond between siblings, and the delicate features of your newborn. These images are powerful, monochrome heirlooms that bring a gallery-level sophistication to your home.
This is where I help you celebrate your family’s passions and hobbies from the very start.
I specialise in safely and gently incorporating small sports props into your baby’s setup. Whether it’s the colours of your favourite team, a miniature rugby ball, or a special cap, these items create unique, fun portraits that tell a vibrant part of your family’s story.
The imminent arrival of your baby is such an exciting time! To ensure I can capture those precious first days with a beautiful newborn photoshoot, it’s good for us to plan ahead if possible.
As a popular newborn photographer, my limited number of monthly slots books up quickly, so I offer two simple options to secure your spot:
Provisional Booking: The most popular choice is to book your session using a date 8–12 days after your official due date. This secures your slot well in advance.
Last-Minute Booking: If you prefer, you can wait until your precious one arrives and contact me then. While my schedule may be tighter, I may have openings.
Babies rarely arrive exactly on time, so I pride myself on being as flexible and understanding as possible about changes. Whether your little one arrives early or late, I will always do my very best to accommodate adjustments.
My approach to pricing is designed to be simple and flexible, allowing you to create the perfect package for your family.
You begin with a single, upfront payment for your 2-3 hour custom newborn session, which secures your booking and covers my time and creative expertise on the day.
Following your photoshoot, you’ll receive access to a secure online gallery where you can view all of your fully edited images. It is at this time that you can choose your favourite images by purchasing a digital image bundle or selecting from a range of beautiful printed products.
Photoshoots are beautifully soft, timeless, and perfect for capturing your baby’s gentle early moments. Book now to reserve your session.
With every newborn photoshoot, you are not just booking a photographer; you are gaining a partner with vast experience in providing fun and relaxed sessions, and a passion for your baby’s safety and comfort. My background as an ex-nursery nurse and a mother of three has given me a deep understanding of newborn behaviour and the patience needed to create a calm, unpressured environment. My mum’s often comment about their nervousness and apprehension, not to mention the pressure, to be walk out their photoshoots feeling fully supported and having enjoyed the whole process. I’ll ensure every moment, from the smallest yawn to the most peaceful sleep, is captured perfectly. This is an experience designed around you and your baby, creating art that tells the story of your first days together.
If you are looking for a newborn photographer in Rugby, Warwickshire who is passionate about creating a relaxed, beautiful experience, I would love to hear from you.
My cozy home studio has been thoughtfully created to provide a warm, relaxed, and baby-friendly environment for Newborn Photoshoots. I know that as new parents, feeling comfortable and cared for is just as important as the final images, so the space is designed with your needs—and your baby’s—in mind.
To ensure your experience is stress-free, the studio offers four critical benefits:
Relaxed / Calm Space: The environment is intentionally kept peaceful and quiet, with soft lighting and gentle temperatures to keep your baby happy and settled throughout the session. It is a true escape where you can simply relax.
Everything On Hand: From an array of beautiful props, wraps, and outfits to changing facilities and comfortable seating, you have everything you need right here. You don’t need to pack anything but your little one!
Safety First: Your baby’s safety is always my top priority. I am fully trained in newborn handling and posing, and all props and equipment are carefully sanitized and securely set up before your arrival.
Off-Street Parking: You’ll find easy, off-street parking directly at the studio, meaning no stress or struggling with a car seat and nappy bag on the roadside.
While the session is structured for a specific duration, I understand that newborn photography often requires patience and flexibility for feeding, soothing, and snuggles. Should you wish to capture more moments or need a little extra time on the day, it is not uncommon for parents to request to extend the session at my standard hourly rate, which I will always try to accommodate as best as I can.
01
The best place to start is simply to flick through some of my newborn & baby 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
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.

05
After your Newborn 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
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
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, in busy periods it may be slightly longer .
08
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.
Enjoy your images.
I’ve designed my professional home studio in Rugby to be a peaceful haven. It’s a space where you can leave the pressures of new parenthood at the door. I’ve been a mother of three myself, and I have a background as an ex-nursery nurse, so I understand that newborn babies operate on their own schedule. There is absolutely no pressure if your baby is sleeping peacefully, wide awake, or crying loudly. My approach is to follow your baby’s lead, ensuring they are always comfortable, safe, and happy.
The studio is equipped with everything we need for the session, from specialist lighting and props to a comfortable area for you to relax. I keep the room at an ideal, toasty temperature to keep your baby warm and snug throughout the session. This is an unhurried space, and we’ll take as many breaks as needed for feeding, changing, and comforting. My number one priority is your baby’s safety, and my years of experience have given me a deep understanding of newborn posing and handling, ensuring every precious moment is captured with the utmost care.
For the most serene, sleepy, and curled-up newborn poses, I recommend scheduling your session within the first three weeks after birth, ideally within the first 21 days. This is the window when your baby is still very flexible and naturally sleeps deeply. However, I’m more than happy to photograph babies up to 12 weeks old, as they are often more alert some poses are more challenging or unavailable, still giving us a chance to capture some of their first smiles and curious gazes.
One of the most exciting parts of the experience is designing your photoshoot. We will have a relaxed conversation to discuss your vision for the photographs. I have a wide variety of bespoke backdrops, knitted outfits, delicate headbands, and luxurious wraps in every colour imaginable.
This is a fun, collaborative process where we’ll work together to choose props and colour schemes that reflect your family’s unique story. You are also more than welcome to bring along any personal items, like a special blanket or a family heirloom, to add a meaningful touch. We will ensure the final images are deeply personal and exactly what you envision.
After the photoshoot, I will carefully edit and curate your photographs to create a beautiful gallery for your new addition. These images will be more than just digital files; they will be timeless, emotional heirlooms that you and your family will cherish for generations. Your photos will be a tangible memory of this special time.
