Newborn Photographer in York, Yorkshire

NEWBORN AND BABY PORTFOLIO, YORK, YORKSHIRE

Congratulations - and welcome! I'm so glad you found me.

Those first days with a new baby are unlike anything else. They're overwhelming and magical and gone before you've had a chance to catch your breath. A session with me gives you something rare.. an unhurried morning with nowhere to be, no visitors, no appointments, no phone. Just you, your baby and a hot cup of tea while I quietly capture everything you never want to forget.
I'm often one of the first places families venture out to with their newborn, which means I take that responsibility seriously.

My studio just outside York, next to Wigginton. It is warm, calm and completely set up for you.. not just your baby. You'll be comfortable, you'll be looked after, and I promise there is no rush.

You wouldn't think twice about photographing your wedding day. I'd argue the arrival of your baby is even more worth capturing. These are the tiny fingers, the sleepy stretches, the way they curl up impossibly small, and they are gone so fast.
Let me hold onto them for you.

What to expect at your Newborn Photoshoot with me

When to come

Newborn sessions take place between 7 and 10 days after birth - when your baby is at their most wonderfully squishy and sleepy.  If your little one arrives early or late, we simply shift your date to match. 

What's included

From the moment you book, I'm on hand for anything you need. You'll receive a full welcome guide packed with outfit inspiration, tips for preparing siblings and everything you need to feel completely ready before we meet.

On the day, you'll have full access to my studio wardrobe - carefully chosen pieces in a range of sizes, including options designed to sit comfortably over a postpartum bump. You'll also have a judgement free space to talk openly about anything and everything, with a cup of tea always on the go.

I'll guide you and any siblings through every moment, so nobody needs to wonder what to do or where to look.

How long will it take?

As long as it takes. Sessions typically run between 1.5 and 3 hours, but there is no clock here. If your baby needs a 45 minute feed - three times in a row - we pause, you get comfortable on the sofa, and we pick back up when everyone is ready.

This is where I do things differently to most photographers.

There is no time limit. Ever.

Your gallery

Around two weeks after your session, your private gallery of 70-110 hand edited images will be ready to browse.

Choosing your favourites is one of the loveliest parts of the whole experience.
