NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHY

NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY

Newborns change so much and so quickly in those first few days and believe me, it is easy to forget quite how small and delicate they were. My families are often in awe when they see their newborn photos for the first time because even though the images were only created a week or two before, their precious newborn baby has changed so much already. It is hard to believe they were once inside us.

For this reason, I have actively pursued training courses in the art of safe newborn baby posing, new baby photography (and regularly undergo more training) and have taken baby first aid courses, so that I can safely create lasting memories of your precious new baby that you can cherish for years to come. I am also a registered member of BANPAS (the baby and newborn photography association) as well as most of the UK’s other leading photography associations.

Every time you look at your new baby's newborn album or framed photographs, I want you to be reminded of those first few days and of how small and tiny your baby once was.

Sessions take place in my comfy, family photography studio in East London (less than 10 mins from Stratford and Canary Wharf, on the border of Tower Hamlets and Newham). The images I create consist of a series of posed & wrapped portraits of your baby plus a range of family portraits (including siblings & grandparents if appropriate).

In the last weeks of your pregnancy, we will chat through preparation tips for your newborn photography session. We will also discuss clothing and colour schemes to match your tastes and home decor. This is to keep everything beautifully coordinated so you have a lovely selection of images to pick your album and wall art prints etc from.

Sessions usually last around 4 hours, allowing plenty of time for feeds, changes and cuddles. This means there's no pressure to get the photoshoot done in a fixed time frame.

New baby photography is best done when your baby is around 5-15 days new, although I have successfully captured newborn photographs of babies up to 6-8 weeks, and premature babies at around 4 months.

The best time to book your session is after your 20 week scan and before you are around 7 months pregnant. I only book a fixed number of sessions a week. This is so that I have the flexibility to change newborn session dates with you, if your baby arrives earlier or later than expected. Newborn sessions are only available on weekdays. For these reasons, early booking is advisable.

How much does a new baby photograph session cost?

After the newborn photoshoot, I review all the images taken, select a shortlist of around 20 of the best and most varied images, which I will then edit and invite you to view at your gallery ordering and viewing session a couple of weeks later. At this session you can pick which images you would like to purchase and keep and what format you would like your images in. Most families spend around £900-£1300 on their digital images and wall art/album; prices start from £500.

Pricing works in two parts:

There’s a session booking fee of £150 that covers everything up to & including the session itself but does not include the edited images/printed products. This is taken at the time of your booking to secure two options of newborn photoshoot dates.

At the viewing session there are three are three packages available to pick from; and of course you can add additional digital images to the “A Taster” or “Your Favourite Ten” packages if you wish to:


“A Taster”: 5 digital images of your choice - £350

”Your Favourite Ten”: 10 digital images of your choice plus £50 voucher towards any printed product you would like to purchase from my range - £550

“The Complete Works”: All your edited digitals images (typically 20), plus a video slide show of the images, and £100 print voucher - £750


You can spend your voucher on any of my printed items including fine art prints (to frame yourself) from £40, wall art from £180, luxury albums from £550. You can also get additional edited digital files at £40 per image.

Newborn Mini Session in East London

I also offer a much shorter, 90 min newborn mini session which focuses on capturing 5 photos in total, covering those of your baby wrapped and in props and some family photos. These are £450 all inclusive of 5 edited digital images.
