those sleepy yawns, tiny curled fists and big stretches that seem impossible for something so small.
Your baby is only this tiny once. and my garden studio in Manningtree is the most relaxed place to capture it all.

The first days and weeks with a new baby are a blur of love, exhaustion and wonder and they pass so fast it almost doesn't feel real. A newborn session isn't just about beautiful photographs. It's an hour or two of quiet, where someone else takes care of everything. You'll leave with images that show you exactly how tiny and perfect they were. A newborn session is simply a way of holding onto it a little longer. 

In studio

at home

Rather stay close to home in those early days?
In-home sessions have a beautiful documentary quality to them. Less posed, more real. Think baby snuggled on your chest, siblings piling in for a cuddle. Surrounded by the familiarity of home.

I'll follow your family's lead and capture the quiet, tender moments that make those first weeks so special. And please, don't tidy up on my account. The lived-in bits are often the best bits!

My purpose-built garden studio in Lawford is warm, neutral and quietly cosy.  Designed so that nothing distracts from the star of the show. Soft props and wraps in natural tones keep everything timeless, with the focus entirely on your baby.

Sessions are completely unhurried, with plenty of time for feeds, cuddles and nappy changes. I have outfit options for baby and mum if needed, and supply all the blankets and wraps to keep baby cosy. Siblings are always welcome, and parents are always included too.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

what is the best age for a newborn shoot?

Ideally babies should be under 14 days to ensure they are nice and sleepy. But you can book up to a month old for a newborn session.

HOW DO I BOOK A SESSION?

Booking is simple! Click here to secure your session. Once booked, you’ll receive a confirmation email with all the details you need.

how long does a newborn photo session take?

I allow around 2.5 hours for newborn sessions. Most of this time will be spent feeding, burping and changing! But we want to create a cosy relaxed atmosphere for them to drift off to sleep for photos.

what if i don't have anything nice to wear?

I have a selection of client wardrobe options for you (and baby!) to choose from. However, I always advise that as long as you are wearing something light and neutral you will be fine. A flowy top, cosy jumper - you can even stay in leggings on the bottom half! I just want to ensure you are very comfortable

can siblings be included?

Absolutely, its a big time for them too! I'll try to get their photos with baby done first just incase they get a little bored in the session. But they are welcome to use the studio toys and colouring while they wait!

For detailed rates and availability, please send me a message and I'll be back in touch shortly. I can't wait to hear from you!
