Newborn Photographer in Birmingham

Newborn, portrait and cake smash photography sessions

As a newborn and children’s photographer, I specialise in capturing natural, meaningful images that celebrate your baby and your family. My sessions are calm, baby-led and designed to feel relaxed, unhurried and enjoyable.

Sessions take place in my studio in Old Oscott, Birmingham, where everything is set up with your baby’s comfort and safety in mind. From newborns to first birthdays, my aim is to create timeless photographs that you’ll treasure long after these early days have passed.

Babies change so quickly, which is why I’m so passionate about capturing these fleeting moments while they’re here.

Frequently asked questions about newborn photography

When is the best time to book a newborn photoshoot?

Newborn sessions are best booked during pregnancy, ideally in your second or third trimester. This helps secure availability around your due date. Sessions usually take place within the first 5–14 days after birth.

What if my baby won’t settle or sleep?

That’s completely normal. Newborn sessions are baby-led and never rushed, with plenty of time for feeding, cuddles and settling. I work patiently and gently to keep your baby comfortable throughout.

How long does a newborn photography session last?

Most newborn sessions last around 2–3 hours. This allows time for feeding, changing and soothing your baby, without feeling rushed.

Can parents and siblings be included in the photos?

Yes, absolutely. Parents and siblings are very welcome to be included, making the session a lovely way to capture your growing family together.

What should we bring to the session?

Just bring everything your baby would normally need, such as milk, nappies and comfort items. I provide wraps, props and backdrops for the session.

Is your studio safe for newborns?

Yes. Your baby’s safety and comfort always come first. I’m fully insured, trained in newborn safety and paediatric first aid, and every session is carried out calmly and carefully.
