Family Newborn Photoshoot: The First Chapters of Your Family Story
Welcoming a new baby into your family is one of life’s biggest milestones. As a family photographer I love capturing these special moments – those tiny details, the early days and the joy that fills your home in the first few weeks after birth.
My approach to newborn photography is all about creating timeless portraits that tell your family’s story, using natural light and a relaxed style that puts everyone at ease. Professional baby photography helps families treasure memories with beautiful photos that last a lifetime.

Why a Family Newborn Photoshoot?
There’s something magical about photographing newborns and their families in their own home. This setting allows for a warm and relaxed atmosphere where you can change outfits, feed and care for your baby without any rush.
Creating a cosy room for your photo session helps everyone feel comfortable and secure, making it easier to capture natural, tender moments. The result? Beautiful images that reflect real life, genuine emotions and the loving bonds between parents, siblings and your new arrival. If you prefer a studio session is also available – our studios are professional spaces designed for family and newborn photo sessions.
Don’t be afraid to use natural light and even outdoor settings for your photoshoot. Photographers know that these environments can help you get beautiful photos that show your family’s personality.
A Journey That Starts with Pregnancy
My family newborn photoshoots often start before your baby even arrives. I offer maternity portraits to document the anticipation and excitement of pregnancy, setting the scene for your family’s story. These early images become the first pages of your life book – a unique keepsake that you can update each year to celebrate your family’s growth and development. I look forward to capturing each new chapter as your family grows, preserving memories you’ll treasure forever.
The First Year
The first year of your baby’s life is full of rapid change and milestones. I recommend a newborn session within the first few weeks, followed by sessions at six months and one year. The ideal time for a newborn photo session is within the first week or two when babies are sleepiest and easiest to pose. This way we can capture every stage – from those sleepy, curled up newborn portraits to the first smiles and wobbly steps of early toddlerhood. Capturing your baby when they are awake allows us to get expressive shots with wide open eyes and adorable faces. If you miss the first week don’t worry – wonderful photos can still be taken at any age.
My Approach: Timeless, Natural and Safe
I believe in creating portraits that stand the test of time. My style avoids trendy props or unnatural poses – no sleepy babies in birds’ nests here! Instead I focus on the real connections between you and your loved ones, the gentle touch of a parent, the curiosity of siblings and the tiny details that make your newborn unique. As a mum myself I know how to create a relaxed and authentic atmosphere that helps families feel at ease and results in genuine and heartfelt photos.
Every photo session is designed to ensure your baby’s comfort and well-being. Including your partner, siblings and even sisters in the session helps capture the special family bonds that make your story unique. I pay close attention to the tiny toes and little details that make each newborn special, so these moments are preserved in your shots. Spontaneous moments can happen during the session and I’m always ready to capture those natural, fleeting expressions that will make your gallery truly memorable.
