The beautiful, messy, sleepy, cuddly beginning

Those first days with your newborn are filled with so many little moments—the tiny cuddles, sleepy stretches, gentle touches, and the overwhelming love that comes with bringing your baby home. Lifestyle newborn photography is about capturing those genuine moments in a relaxed and natural way, creating beautiful images that tell the story of this special time in your family’s life. As a newborn photographer my sessions are designed to feel calm and effortless, giving you space to simply enjoy your baby while I gently guide you when needed. No complicated poses or perfect moments required—just the connection, love, and beautiful little details that you’ll want to remember long after these fleeting newborn days have passed.

The smallest moments often become our biggest memories.

1. Let’s Chat

Congratulations! This is such an exciting season, and I’d love to help you remember it. Start by filling out my contact form, and we’ll chat about your due date, your family, and what you’re hoping for from your session. I’m here to answer all your questions and make sure everything feels easy from the very beginning.

2. Save Your Date

Once you’re ready to book, I’ll send everything you need to make it official. After your booking fee is paid, your session is locked in around your due date. Once your little one arrives, we’ll choose the perfect day to capture those beautiful early days together.

3. Get Ready

Don’t worry — there’s really not much you need to do! Before your session, I’ll send you a few simple tips on what to wear, how to get your home ready, and what to expect on the day. There’s no need for a spotless house or a perfectly settled baby. We’ll take things slowly, follow your baby’s lead, and keep everything relaxed and easy. My goal is for you to simply enjoy this time with your little one while I take care of the rest.

4. Let’s Capture the Moments

The big day is here! I’ll come to your home for your lifestyle photography session and we’ll take things at your baby’s pace. There’s plenty of time for feeds, cuddles, nappy changes and settling in between photos. I’ll gently guide you when needed, while capturing all those natural little moments that make your family yours.

5. See Your Memories

Once your images have been carefully edited, it’s time to see your beautiful gallery. You’ll be able to relive all those tiny details, sweet cuddles and moments of connection from your session.

6. Hold Onto The Memories

Your newborn won’t stay this little for long, but these moments are worth remembering. Once your session is over, you’ll have a beautiful collection of photographs to look back on, share with your loved ones and treasure as your little one grows. Years from now, you’ll be able to look back at these images and remember those tiny details, the sleepy cuddles and just how little they once were.

Frequently asked questions

When should I book my newborn session?

It’s a good idea to get in touch during your pregnancy, ideally around your second or third trimester. We’ll pop your due date in the diary and then choose the actual session date once your little one arrives. If your baby is already here, don’t worry — get in touch anyway and I’ll see what I can do!

Do we need to have our house perfectly tidy?

Absolutely not! Your in home newborn session is all about comfortability, your home doesn’t need to be spotless or styled for a magazine. I’ll help you work out which rooms have the best light and give you a few simple tips beforehand. A little bit of real-life mess is completely normal — you’ve just had a baby!

When will our newborn session take place?

There’s no strict timeframe for a lifestyle newborn session. Most families choose to have their session within the first few weeks, while everything still feels new and those tiny newborn details are fresh. That said, there’s no such thing as being “too late” — we can capture your baby and your family at whatever stage feels right for you.

What if my baby won’t settle?

That’s completely okay! Babies do what babies do, and there’s no expectation that your little one will sleep through the session. We’ll stop for feeds, cuddles, nappy changes and settling whenever we need to. I’ll simply follow their lead and capture the beautiful moments in between.

What should we wear?

Keep it simple and comfortable. Soft, neutral colours and natural textures work beautifully, but most importantly, wear something you feel good in. I’ll send you some easy styling tips before your session to help take the guesswork out of what everyone should wear. There’s no need for everyone to match perfectly.

Can we include siblings and pets?

Of course! Your newborn session is about your whole family, so siblings and furry family members are very welcome. We’ll keep things relaxed and let everyone interact naturally rather than worrying about getting the perfect smile. Those real little moments and connections are often some of my favourites to photograph.
