ABOUT MY NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY
They grow up so fast...
Welcoming your newborn is one of life’s most profound and emotional moments, and my vision is to preserve those feelings through timeless, heartfelt photography. I aim to create soft, natural images focusing on your baby’s delicate details and the bond you share. These photographs aren’t just pictures - they are memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime, transporting you back to the emotions and love of those early days.
Every session occurs in a calm, warm, and safe environment, ensuring you and your baby feel comfortable and cared for. Newborn photography is a fleeting opportunity that deserves care, experience, and attention to detail. Trust me to capture your first family memories with tenderness and artistry, creating images that will become part of your family’s story forever.

A newborn session is thoughtfully crafted to provide a beautiful experience and preserve the delicate features and tiny details of your baby during those precious first weeks.
My newborn sessions are designed to provide a relaxed and memorable experience for your family. The session lasts up to four hours in my comfortable studio, allowing plenty of time to capture a variety of poses featuring your little one. I take special care in photographing your baby in different setups while also including family and sibling portraits to create a complete story of these precious early days. Throughout the session, I will share helpful tips and tricks to keep your baby calm and sleepy, ensuring a peaceful and enjoyable experience for everyone.
My newborn portrait sessions are priced at £200, but if you'd like to add professional makeup services with our experienced makeup artist, the session fee is £300.

The ideal time to photograph newborns is between 7 and 21 days old, so I recommend booking your session well in advance. As soon as you know your due date, give me a call, and we’ll schedule a provisional session for 10 days after your due date. We can easily adjust the date if your baby arrives early or late. Since newborn sessions can last up to four hours, I schedule them exclusively from Monday to Friday, starting at 10 a.m. I only book one newborn session per day to ensure a relaxed, unrushed experience for you and your baby.

Yes, I can photograph babies in the sleepy poses up to six weeks. However, these sessions take a little longer, and you can expect more beautiful awake poses in your final gallery.
If your baby is older than six weeks, I suggest waiting a few weeks and booking a family session when your baby is about 12 weeks old.

Our sessions take place at the PhaseZero Studio in High Barnet, EN5 4LQ

Of course! Welcoming a new baby into the family is exciting for everyone, and I would love to document that for you. There is no extra charge for immediate family members to attend the session. Capturing a stunning image of multiple generations is also very special, so don’t forget that you can include grandparents in your session too!
-
As you’ll notice in my newborn gallery, I specialise in a minimalistic "less is more" approach when photographing your baby.
I believe that timeless images of your baby - either on their own or cradled in your arms- will hold more meaning and value for you and your child as the years pass. That said, if you’d like a special or sentimental item included in your photos, I encourage you to bring it along.
I also offer a selection of outfits, fabrics, and accessories to style your session, so there is nothing you need to bring along for baby. Once your booking is confirmed, we’ll have a discovery call on Zoom or WhatsApp to discuss what to bring and what outfits to wear for your session.
-
On the day of your session, we’ll capture your baby in various outfits and poses, including heartwarming family and sibling portraits.
You'll be presented with a gallery of 25-30 beautifully retouched photographs in your private online web gallery.

Roughly one week after your photoshoot, I will post a private online gallery for you to view your photos and choose your favourites.
Once your gallery is posted online, you decide how many images you want to purchase and whether you'd prefer a digital collection or prints/products (or a combination of both). There is absolutely no pressure sales - your final order is entirely up to you, and there are no hidden costs.

Unfortunately, not. All newborn sessions are booked Monday through Friday. Newborn babies are at their best in the morning, so we recommend a 10 am session.
