Welcoming a new baby is such a special time, and my newborn sessions are designed to be relaxed, calm, and completely baby-led. As a newborn photographer in Welwyn Garden, St Albans and Hertfordshire, my aim is to create a stress-free experience where you can simply enjoy these precious early days with your little one. There is no rush, and plenty of time is allowed for feeding, cuddles, settling and changing whenever needed.

My style is natural and timeless, focusing on your baby’s beautiful features and those precious family connections.

Sessions are gentle, simple and tailored to your baby’s comfort at all times, resulting in beautiful newborn photographs that you’ll treasure for years to come.

I provide a carefully selected collection of wraps, outfits, blankets and props, so there is no need to bring anything special for your baby unless there is a sentimental item you would like included in your photographs. Every detail is chosen to complement my clean, natural style and create a timeless newborn photography gallery.

What to Bring

For Baby:

• Plenty of nappies and wipes- I suggest 10 (just in case)

• Extra milk if bottle feeding the day.

• A dummy/pacifier if your baby uses one

• Any special keepsakes or sentimental items you’d like included

For Parents and siblings:

• Neutral, plain clothing works beautifully and helps keep the focus on your connection with your baby

• Avoid large logos, busy patterns or bright colours where possible

Feel free to bring your make up bag for any touch ups- there will be time to do this whilst I am working with your baby.

If you’re unsure what to wear, don’t worry. I have a small client wardrobe available for mums, with a selection of flattering dresses that photograph beautifully and complement the style of the session. Coordinated, neutral clothing helps create the soft, timeless look that is synonymous with natural newborn and family photography.

Preparing for Your Session

To help your baby settle into a deep sleep, it can be helpful to feed them just before the session begins. However, every baby is different, and sessions are always adapted to suit your little one on the day. The comfort and wellbeing of your baby will always be my priority.

Bring some snacks for yourself too- a Newborn Photoshoot can take up to 3 hours.

Most importantly, come prepared to relax and enjoy the experience. I’ll guide you throughout the session and create beautiful images that capture these fleeting first days with your new baby. My goal is to create natural, heartfelt newborn photography for families in Welwyn Garden City and throughout Hertfordshire, preserving memories that you will cherish for generations.

I look forward to welcoming you and your new baby to my studio.
