How it works

01
Book your shoot
Reserve your date during pregnancy — ideally around 7 days after your due date. Spaces are limited, so the earlier the better.
02
Let me know when your baby arrives
Drop me a message as soon as your little one is here. We'll confirm the date and I'll prepare everything for your session.
03
Attend your shoot and relax
Come to the studio and let me take care of everything. Your only job is to settle in — I'll handle the rest.
04
Choose your favourites
Return to the studio to view your images together. Browse prints, albums, and wall art in a relaxed, guided reveal session.

Questions

Are products included in the session fee?
Products are priced separately. My clients typically invest between £400–£1,200 on products. Payment plans are available if you'd like to spread the cost.
When is the best time to take newborn photos?
Newborn sessions typically take place when your baby is between 5 and 16 days old and booking in advance is essential to be able to guarantee your session. However, it's still possible to get beautiful images with older babies. The full session fee must be paid at the time of booking. A date will be pencilled in 7 days after your due date. Once your baby is born, we'll arrange a date and time for you to come for your shoot.
Can we include our dog?
Absolutely, dogs are part of the family and are always welcome at sessions. For safety, your dog and baby will be photographed individually and merged seamlessly together in Photoshop.
Are you trained in newborn safety?
This is such an important question and the answer is a resounding yes. Even though I've been photographing newborns for over 10 years, I still invest in newborn training as often as possible. Most recently, I trained in London with the incredible Russ Jackson, one of the world's most respected newborn photography trainers. I also hold a qualification in newborn photography from The Guild of Photographers. I am the only photographer in the Vale of Glamorgan to hold such a qualification.
Where will the session take place?
Newborn sessions take place at my beautiful, cosy studio in Barry.
