Older baby Photography
As our babies start to grow up their little characters start to emerge along with their beautiful little smiles. Once they have started sitting unaided (but idealy not crawling yet!) its the perfect opportunity to captur the magic that this age brings and one of my favourite ages to capture as a family photographer. Ad then of course you have their 1st birthdays – a key milestone for your baby and you as parents to celebrate all that you have achieved in the last year.
These shoots can be studio shoots which can take the pressure off cleaning your house, home shoots if you lov the authenticity of more reportage styled photography, or in the great outdoors in many of the parks our local area has to offer.
We’ll discuss what kind of thing you are looking for, work out where best to do this, and I can guide you on what to wear and anything you should consider before the day.
Birthday balloons can be a wondrfu way to celebrate your little ones milestones (*£40 supplement for balloons & helium)
Session Types
Studio

My studio is purpose built and sessions are focused on creating beautiful timeless images without the background distractions that you might get at home. The studio is prepared with a beautiful room set out ready on your arrival which allows for you to focus on ensuring your little one is happy and comfortable with nothing else to worry about.
I will guide and direct you and little one into positions or interactions to avoid that stiff posed look and with beautifully lighting, we will create wonderful timeless images that celebrate you and your little one.
Each image will be hand edited to create wonderful images ready for display on your wall, albums as we as of course your digital devices devices.
At Home

For families who prefer the comfort of their own space, I also offer home sessions. For these sessions, we focus on creating beautiful, natural images — capturing your child in familiar surroundings, with all the warmth and love that makes your home special. Images are more reportage in style, but for those who prefer to have images capture authentic real life moments then these are for you.
Photos may include your child at play, in their cot/bed, you as a family on your bed or in your living spaces or if the weather is nice, perhaps in your garden.
Each image will be hand edited to create wonderful images ready for display on your wall, albums as we as of course your digital devices devices.
Outdoors
Session Fee £149
For families who like the feel of outdoor spaces, this can also be arranged subject to the weather. Often these tend to be selected for summer birthday babies and for milestones of this kind.
Images can be a combination of some natural shot, but also some posed portraits using some of the lovely parks and open spacees in our area.
Images are hand edited to create a beautiful gallery to display in an album, or on the wall as well of course as your digital devices.

FAQ
When should i book?
Photographers often prescribe that newborn photoshoots should take place within the first 5 – 14 days of birth to ensure as much as possible that they are still in that sleepy phase to enable hem to be posed and get those lovely peaceful shots. This can definitely be beneficial but with more natural posing styles it is not essential and the photoshoot can tae place when you are ready and feel recovered from the birth.
How do I book a photography session?
Booking a photography session is easy. You can book your session online, and then once you have viewed your gallery, you can select your photo package aftrwards based on your budget and preferred bumber of final images.
Can we choose the location for our photo shoot?
I offer newborn shoots both in my purpose built studio or at your home. The style with each is slightly different with the studio allowing more control over the lighting and what is present in the photos, and the home providing a more reportage based backdrop and authenticity (thoughy I do recommend a declutter and tidy up at if you choose a home based shoot). Each has its own unique beneifts and you can see examples of ecah style of shoot on my website.
How long does a typical photo session last?
The duration of a photo session varies depending on the type and scope of the session. Newborn sessions typically range from 2 - 4 hours and I only book one sessin per day to ensure ample time to capture all the important moments and ensure you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the session.
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
I understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. My editing process typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. My priority is quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations.
What happens if one of us is unwell?
If you find yourself becoming unwell before your photoshoot I ask that you let me know as far in advance as possible to give me ample time to assss the situation and reschedule if we agree that is the best course of action. As I am working with pregnant women and small babies people's health is my numbr one priority and limiting the spread of infectious illness helps protect me and therefore my clents, including yourself.
