Right, let’s talk about this because I know so many new parents worry they’ve left it too late. You’ve had your baby, you’ve completely lost track of what day it is and suddenly someone asks whether you’ve booked newborn photos and your baby is already three weeks old. Cue the frantic Google search: “Is three […]

It’s a completely fair question. Having a baby is expensive.. more expensive than you expect (at least it was for me).. You’ve bought the pram, somehow filled an entire drawer with vests and you’re already wondering how one very small person needs so much stuff. Then newborn photography appears on the list and you find […]

I’ve always loved photographing families outdoors, but this autumn I’ve started looking at locations differently. Instead of beginning with a booking and then choosing where to go, I’ve been trying to notice places that make me want to pick up my camera. Sometimes it is the colour. Sometimes it is an ordinary patch of land […]

The word luxury can mean very different things to different people. When it comes to newborn photography, you might imagine a beautiful studio, gorgeous clothes and a gallery full of carefully edited photographs. All of that is part of it, but it isn’t what makes the experience feel special to me. Real luxury is being […]

There are so many things I hear from new mums before they come to the studio for their newborn photoshoot, and quite often they’re worried about things that really don’t need worrying about. They’ll tell me they haven’t slept much, they don’t feel like themselves yet, they’re not sure what to wear or they’re worried […]

Almost everyone cries. Not always.. but almost always. And it’s not just the mums. I’ve watched dads go very quiet and suddenly find something incredibly interesting to look at on the ceiling. I’ve had clients call up Grandparents and ask them to hightail it to the studio because they physically couldn’t wait to show them. […]

Right, I need to talk about something that comes up in almost every single booking conversation I have. “Should we bring the older one?” And my answer is always, always, always yes. YES Bring them. I don’t care if they’re going through a phase. I don’t care if they’re two and feral. I don’t care […]

Choosing a newborn photographer is one of those decisions that feels very important and completely overwhelming. There are so many photographers now, so many different styles, so many different price points and you’re trying to make this decision while also growing or raising a person… So let me make it a little easier. I’m Lucy, […]

I’ve been meaning to write one of these for a while. A good old ‘here’s what’s actually going on’ post rather than a studio specific post… I don’t know if people want to know what’s been cracking on but I always love to read others’ so here it is! Studio, home, dogs, chaos and all. […]

When you’re researching newborn photographers, it’s so easy to end up with ten browser tabs open, all showing different prices, and absolutely no idea what any of them actually mean. £400 here. £900 there. £1500 somewhere else. What’s the difference? What do you actually get? Is one of them just better fizz at the reveal […]
