Long nights feeding. Days blending into one. A little person curled up on your chest. The newborn season is life-changing and although it can be tough sometimes, it’s also one of the most special seasons of our lives. We’re getting to meet a person who will become the centre of our universe. Emotions are high and your baby changes so quickly. One moment they’re inside and then, (usually) with no warning, they’re here.
I remember those early days with my own daughters well, spending days curled up on the sofa whilst we tried to get to grips with nursing, staring at their faces as they slept studying every part of their faces. It was all so surreal.
I use my photography to tell a story of this time in your lives. Not just capturing those all-important portraits of baby all wrapped up, or proudly placed within your arms, but also documenting you in your new role as their parent, tending to them. It’s a perfect mix of storytelling and portraiture. There are no forced poses or ‘difficult babies’, I like to keep things calm, relaxed and to go with the flow of your baby and capture them as they are.

The precious newborn stage in your baby's life is fleeting and profoundly emotional. It's a time filled with overwhelming love, exhaustion, elation, and an innate desire to nurture and protect. Lasting only a few weeks, this tiny window holds an entire universe of memories.
Based in the heart of the West Midlands, I specialize in at-home newborn photoshoots designed to be both relaxing and entirely natural. Come and visit me at my in-home studio, nurse a warm cuppa and cradle your gorgeous baby as I gently work around you. Or if you would prefer to stay home, I can come to you.
My approach includes offering gentle guidance, discreetly adjusting little things if necessary, and working quietly to create beautiful, soulful images that are truly works of art. However, my ultimate goal is to capture those serene moments when you are at peace, and your connection with your newborn is at its deepest.
