Having a new baby in your family is a moment filled with hope, joy, and love — a moment you’ll want to treasure forever. As a professional photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing these precious first days, creating images that families can cherish for years to come. Photographing your baby’s unique features and milestones in their first year is so important, as these moments pass quickly and can never be repeated. Whether you’re a new mum, a proud dad, or someone looking for the perfect gift, a baby photoshoot is a beautiful way to celebrate new life and create lasting memories.
If you’re ready to create stunning memories and beautiful images of your newborn baby, I invite you to visit my website and browse my portfolio. Whether you’re looking for maternity portraits, newborn sessions, or fun family shoots as your baby grows, I’m here to help you capture life’s most precious moments. Don’t miss the chance to preserve these memories — get in touch today to book your session or purchase a gift voucher for someone special. I’m always happy to discuss any preferences or special requirements so I can tailor the experience to you and your family.
What Age Should I Do a Baby Photoshoot?
The ideal time for a newborn photoshoot is within the first two weeks of life — usually between 5 and 14 days old. During this stage, your little one is still very sleepy and naturally curls into those adorable newborn poses we all love. This makes it possible to capture timeless images with soft blankets, props, and cute outfits.
Rest assured, your baby’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take my mobile studio to your home so your baby can stay cosy and settled in familiar surroundings. If you’ve missed this window, don’t worry — beautiful baby photography is possible at any age, with each stage offering something unique and memorable.
When Should I Take My Baby’s First Photoshoot?
Many parents book their newborn session during pregnancy, often after the 20-week scan, to secure a spot in my diary. If your baby has already arrived, it’s never too late — every milestone, from sleepy newborn days to a playful first birthday cake smash, deserves to be celebrated. I take the time needed so everyone feels comfortable and relaxed, with plenty of breaks for feeding and cuddles.
How Much Does a Baby Photoshoot Cost?
The cost of a baby photoshoot varies depending on the photographer’s experience, the length of the session and what’s included in the package. At Simon John Photographer our newborn photoshoot sessions are competitively priced and offer a range of options to suit different budgets. My professional session fee is £125, which covers the photoshoot itself and a private viewing of your images. I guarantee the session and there’s no time limit — I don’t charge by the hour. After the shoot, you’re welcome to view your photos in my studio, or if you’re further away, I can bring the viewing to you at your home on the same day.
I also offer gift vouchers—an absolutely lovely present for friends or family expecting a new arrival. Clients can choose from a range of professional images as well as quick and convenient pics to suit their needs.
My professional session fee is £125, which includes the photoshoot itself and a personal viewing of your images. There is no time limit and I don’t charge by the hour — your session is guaranteed, and we go at your baby’s pace.
For newborns, I bring my portable studio to your home, so you don’t have to worry about travelling with a tiny baby. As your child grows, we can explore beautiful outdoor locations like beaches, woods, or open fields to capture natural, joyful family moments. After the shoot, you can enjoy a private viewing in your own home or at my studio — whichever is easiest for you.
How Much Should I Pay for Baby Pictures?
When considering how much to invest in baby pictures think about the value of these once in a lifetime memories. Professional baby photography is more than just taking pictures—it’s about creating a relaxed warm space where your family can feel comfortable and capturing the real connections between mum, dad and baby. We love to include family involvement, capturing intimate moments between mum and baby as well as creating beautiful portraits of your daughter for you to treasure. You should expect to pay for quality, creativity and the peace of mind that your images will be something you’ll treasure forever.
