Newborn

Welcoming a new baby is one of life's most precious moments, and my newborn photography sessions are designed to capture those fleeting early days in a relaxed, natural way. The best time to photograph your little one is within the first two weeks after birth, when babies are typically sleepiest and happiest to curl into those beautiful newborn poses. Every session is completely baby-led, with plenty of time for feeding, cuddles and soothing whenever your little one needs it—there's never any rush. Your baby's safety, comfort and wellbeing are always my top priorities, and every pose is carefully guided with this in mind.

I have a beautiful collection of wraps, blankets, props and accessories for you to choose from, allowing us to create timeless images that reflect your style. Parents and siblings are always encouraged to be part of the session too, because these first family portraits are memories you'll treasure for a lifetime.

When to book
I recommend booking in as soon as possible after your 20-week scan although I do take last minute bookings when I have availability.

We had the best experience with Claire for our newborn shoot! She was so patient and gentle with our girl, and made the whole session feel really relaxed. You can tell Claire really knows what she is doing when it comes to working with babies. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful - we’re honestly obsessed with them and can’t thank Claire enough! Highly recommend to any new parents looking to capture those first precious days.
