Timeless newborn photography in your own home

For me, newborn photography should be simple. There is nothing more timeless than a beautifully composed clean striking image. They look great in any room of the house and make a statement.

For me, newborn photography should be simple. There is nothing more timeless than a beautifully composed clean striking image. They look great in any room of the house and make a statement.

New baby sessions held in your home create lovely, relaxed, intimate family portraits. I use gentle window light and we can include other family members, siblings, parents and even pets. There is a bare minimum of 'posing' and the focus is entirely on interacting naturally with baby. As with all of my photography my goal is to capture genuine, beautiful emotion. As a mum myself I can honestly say these first few weeks are also a bit of a blur. This is why newborn photographs are magical. They take you straight back to that sense of wonder at your tiny baby, the overwhelming love and incredible euphoria of bringing a new person into the world.

Newborn shoots are best done In the first two weeks of your little ones arrival. We want to capture the tiny, curly, sleepy newness of your beautiful baby. It’s amazing how quickly they change and you will look back at these memories and be so pleased that you had them documented.

My shoots are relaxed and very baby led. If you already have a child I certainly want to include them in the shoot too.

For a newborn shoot it very important to have the house very warm, as your little baby won’t be wearing a lot, so we want to make sure they are nice and cosy. I do also use a heat pad under my throws which they love.

If you would like to book I recommend getting in touch after your 20 week scan and can book a provisional date. I would need a £50 deposit. Then message me once baby arrives and we can either confirm or adjust the date.

Or if you would like to purchase a newborn shoot as a gift I have gorgeous gift cards which would be a perfect baby shower gift.

My studio is in Chipperfield WD4. But I am happy to come to your home for the shoot. Areas I cover are, Berkhamsted, Chesham, Amersham, Tring, Hemel Hempstead, Watford, Potters Bar, St Albans, Luton, Abbots Langley, Kings Langley, Bourne End, Gerrards Cross, Chandlers Cross, Chandlers Cross, Bushy, Rickmansworth, Pinner, Redbourn, Harrow, Hatfield, Croxley Green,

Valentine’s gift

It’s valentines day next week, we have all been home schooling, trying to work and muddling through our third lockdown. Lets be honest, its been tough!

The best gift in my opinion is the gift of memories, a gift that your loved ones will treasure forever. I now have a range of Love Picture gift vouchers ready to ship out to the lucky recipients.

A photography gift voucher is the perfect present for your husband, wife or partner. A mini shoot gift voucher is something really special.

If you choose one of my £55 mini shoot gift vouchers, the lucky person can choose a family shoot in a stunning bluebell forest, wild flower fields, a golden hour shoot, lavender fields or beautiful woodland locations. It’s a great gift and also includes a 12x8 enlargement.

Another great gift for the parents to be is a Newborn photoshoot gift voucher. This is a really special present to new mummy’s and daddy’s as they really will cherish these memories forever. A lot of mamas wouldn’t have had the chance to have a baby shower this year due to the pandemic so lets really spoil them on valentines day.

Lastly I have Love Picture gift cards where you can select the value of the gift. The gift cards can be used towards any of the services I offer.

Thank you so much for supporting my small business.

In these crazy covid-19 times new parents are having so many extra things to worry about. One being is it safe to have a newborn photoshoot? I have made a few changes to how I now do newborn photography sessions. The main one being if coming to your home for the shoot. My set up is a lot more simple and I mainly use natural light, which I think looks the most beautiful anyway. Anything that I bring with me will have been throughly cleaned, my temperature will have been checked and I would wear a mask at all times. So please rest assured my newborn shoots are very safe. None of these changes will have any impact on you receiving stunning photographs.

Newborn photography in your home

For me, newborn portraits should be simple. There is nothing more timeless than classic black and white photography. I think black and white images are really stylish and contemporary. They look great in any room of the house and make a statement.
