Newborn Photography
Lake District
You'll never regret capturing these precious first months with your newborn. I take my time, capturing you and your baby in a relaxed, natural setting, where genuine emotion shines through. We stop for baby feeds and cuddles and shoot in a very calm way. Sessions can take anywhere from 20-90 minutes.
Why Capture Newborn Photography?
Welcoming a new baby is one of the most beautiful and fleeting moments in life. While it's natural to feel apprehensive - whether it's adjusting to life as a new parent, not feeling 'camera-read', or worrying about the logistics - those early days are worth preserving.
Your baby will only be this tiny for a short time and capturing those delicate features and profound connection is something you'll treasure forever.
Working with me, I'm here to make the process comfortable, stress-free and enjoyable. Together we'll create timeless images that tell the story of your growing family, no matter how you feel right now. Let me take care of the details - you'll be so glad you did.
Book both a pregnancy and newborn photography shoots with me for and receive two complimentary fine art prints.
Newborn Photography FAQs
Newborn photography is special at any age! The ideal timing depends on the kind of photos you want:
-
First 2 weeks: Perfect for capturing the tiny, curled-up poses that highlight your baby’s newness. Babies tend to sleep more during this stage, making it easier to achieve those sweet, peaceful shots.
-
4–8 weeks: Babies begin to open their eyes and develop their personalities. We can focus on curious gazes and soft expressions.
-
3+ months: Your baby might start smiling, holding their head up, or even showing off some giggles. This is a wonderful time to highlight their growing milestones.
I love working with babies of all ages! When you contact me, let me know your baby’s age, and I’ll tailor the session to celebrate their unique stage.
What age is best for newborn photographs?

What can we include in the session?
In my opinion simple is always best. However, your photos can be as personalised as you’d like. Here are some ideas:
-
Incorporating baby’s first toy or a family quilt.
-
Incorporating a knitted item that has been gifted to your baby.
-
The mother or father wearing an item that reminds of the pregnancy journey.

Can we include extended family or pets on the newborn photoshoot?
Yes, newborn shoots with siblings are magic. I'm also happy to include grandparents and pets. Having the whole family together makes for wonderful images, but if you're planning this then let me know during the planning stages so we can schedule and plan according to everyone's needs.

There's certainly something special about capturing newborn photographs here against the majestic Lake District - and I know some fantastic accessible spots that work well for newborn photoshoots. While I'm happy to photograph in all types of weather, your baby's comfort are my top priorities. If the weather isn't ideal for an outdoor session we can easily move the shoot to an indoor location. You'll be surprised how well your home will work and it doesn't need to be large or immaculate. I also shoot newborn photography from home - should this be your preference.
