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.
Why Invest in Professional 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 shoot with me and receive a 10% discount.
Of course, we can't predict exactly when baby will arrive, but get in touch a few months before your due date and we can tentatively set a date, which we can then keep flexible.
And if your baby is already here, no you haven't left it too late. I capture lots of 3, 6, 9 month old babies and each stage brings it's own unique delight.
How much does Newborn Photography Cost?
My newborn baby photography sessions start from £175, including a gallery of images.
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 to include in a baby photography session?
In my opinion simple is always best! A simple baby-grow and knitted blanket is perfect. However, your photos can be as personalised if 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.
If you're meeting me outdoors in the Lake District for your photo session or visiting my home then bring your baby's usual bag with a spare change of clothes and anything you need for feeding. If I'm shooting within your home then you don't need to worry about this, I'll bring my camera, lights, a blanket and a rug.

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.
