If you're expecting a baby, I recommend getting in touch during your pregnancy so we can pencil your session in around your due date. Babies rarely arrive exactly when expected, so we'll confirm the exact date once your little one has arrived.

If your baby has already been born, don't worry — it's not too late to get in touch. There isn't one particular age at which your baby has to be photographed, and I'll work with you to create beautiful photographs whenever the time feels right.

There is no single “perfect” age for newborn photographs. Some families love capturing those very early sleepy days, while others prefer to wait until their baby is a little more alert and interactive.

My sessions are baby-led, so rather than working to a strict age or schedule, I'll adapt the session to your baby and the stage they're at.

That's absolutely fine! Babies don't always follow our plans, and there's no expectation that your baby will sleep through the whole session.

We'll take plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, changing and settling whenever your baby needs it. Some of my favourite photographs happen when babies are awake, stretching, looking around or simply being themselves.

We simply stop and feed them. There is never any need to rush or worry about keeping to a schedule.

Your baby is in charge of the session, so we'll take breaks whenever they're needed. Feeding can also be a beautiful part of your photographs if you'd like it to be, and if you're breastfeeding, it can be a wonderful way to capture your feeding journey.

Absolutely. Your new baby becoming part of the family is a huge moment, so I love including siblings in the photographs.

We'll keep things relaxed and won't expect older brothers or sisters to sit perfectly still. We can capture cuddles, little interactions and those first moments together, as well as photographs of your newborn on their own.

Yes. Lifestyle newborn photography at home can be incredibly special because you're documenting your baby in the place where you're beginning your life together.

We can use natural light around your home and photograph the ordinary moments — cuddling on the sofa, settling your baby in their room or simply spending time together.

Your house absolutely does not need to be spotless or magazine-ready. I'll concentrate on your family and the moments that matter.

My approach is natural rather than heavily posed or prop-based. I prefer to focus on your baby and the connection between you rather than creating elaborate setups.

Simple blankets, clothing and meaningful items from your home can be incorporated if they are important to you, but the photographs are always centred around your family.

The best thing to wear is something comfortable that feels like you. Neutral, soft colours and simple textures tend to work beautifully with the natural style of my photography, but there are no strict rules.

If you're unsure what to wear, I'm very happy to offer suggestions before your session.

Don't worry, babies have a habit of ignoring our carefully planned dates!

Your initial booking will be based around your due date, and we'll confirm the session date once your baby arrives. If your plans change because your baby arrives earlier or later than expected, we'll simply adjust the date where possible.

You have just had a baby — you absolutely do not need to look or feel perfect!

My newborn sessions are relaxed and focused on connection rather than perfection. I'll never expect you to spend the session performing for the camera.

There will be plenty of opportunities for cuddles and natural moments, and you can take breaks whenever you need them. You don't need to have everything together before your photoshoot. You just need yourselves and your baby, and if you prefer I'd focus more on them and less on you, that's fine too.
