Newborn Photographer London | At-Home Sessions

Award-Winning Newborn Photography at Home Across London

Congratulations on your new arrival. If you're looking for a newborn photographer in London who comes to your home, I'd love to capture these precious first weeks for you.

I specialise in natural, baby-led newborn photography, creating beautiful skin-to-skin portraits with mum and dad, timeless family photographs and studio-quality images of your baby, all in the comfort of your own home.

Named Newborn Photographer of the Year, I've been photographing London's newest arrivals for over 20 years with relaxed, fully guided sessions that allow you to simply enjoy these precious early days together.

Newborn Photography at Home: What to Expect

Wondering what a newborn photography session at home actually looks like? What happens on the day, and whether there's anything you need to do to get ready? You're in the right place and I hope this answers every question you might have.

When? Newborn sessions are ideally photographed within the first two to three weeks, although I regularly photograph babies up to six weeks old.

Where? Every newborn session I shoot is in your own home, wherever you are in London or the surrounding areas, because honestly, there is nowhere better. Those first weeks are such a tender, private time, and your home is at the heart of all of it. It's where everything begins: your first nights, your first mornings, your first weeks together. Where you're finding your rhythm as a family and where the light falls on your baby's face in the morning. That is exactly what I want to photograph.

The style: My style centres around genuine connection: skin-to-skin portraits, cuddles with mum and dad, and natural family photographs that celebrate your baby's earliest days.

Studio-Quality Newborn Photography in Your Own Home: I bring professional lighting and equipment to create studio-quality newborn portraits in your own home, alongside natural lifestyle photographs that capture your family's genuine connection. It

My aim is to create images that really capture the truth of this moment: those impossibly tiny fingers, the velvet-soft skin, the way your newborn curls into you like they were made for your arms. But just as much as the baby details, I'm interested in you: the look that passes between partners, the quiet pride, the overwhelming love that doesn't quite have words yet. The family you have just become.

Relaxed Baby-Led Newborn Photography at Home in London

Feeding, settling, sleeping, waking — I work around all of it. There is no script, and that is exactly why the photographs feel real.

I might gently guide you towards the best light, or suggest a position that brings everyone into the frame together, but mostly I'm there to document what is already happening, just beautifully.

I bring everything needed to create a polished, considered result: studio lighting, a specialist newborn beanbag, and soft wraps and blankets. While you relax, I quietly set up around you. The quality is everything you'd expect from a studio session and you’ll barely notice I'm there — until you see the photographs.

Why This Work Means So Much to Me

As a mum of two teenage boys, I can tell you this with complete certainty: I have never once looked back at photographs from those early weeks and wished I'd spent the money on something else. Those images are some of the most precious things I own. My boys are enormous now — taller than me, full of opinions — and those photographs take me straight back to the weight of them newborn in my arms. That is what I want to give you.

That's me cuddling Eliot — he's nearly 6ft and very much a teenager now. This photograph was taken at home by my dear friend Jodie Doyle, on a Hasselblad no less. I know exactly how it feels to be on the other side of the camera.

Eliot snuggled up to me when he was just a few days old.

The At-Home Difference

Bringing the studio to you changes everything.

Alongside my camera, I arrive with professional studio lights and backdrops, so you have the best of both worlds: the clean, timeless quality of studio portraits and the warmth and intimacy of your own home. Some families love the soft, classic look of a studio style image. Others want something that feels rooted in the reality of those early days: the light through your particular window, the texture of your bedding, the beautiful ordinary details of the place your baby has just arrived into. Most want a little of both.

I work across all of it within a single session, so your gallery tells the full story of this moment and not just one version of it.

Your home doesn't need to be large or styled or tidy. It just needs to be yours.

Newborn Photographer of the Year

Being awarded Newborn Photographer of the Year was an incredibly proud and emotional moment for me. Knowing that my passion for capturing the delicate beauty of newborn babies had been recognised meant the world, and it motivates me even more to create timeless images for the families I photograph.

I regularly photograph families in Kensington, Chelsea, Fulham, Notting Hill, Chiswick, Richmond, Wimbledon, Putney, Barnes, Hampstead, Islington and Greenwich, as well as many other areas across the capital.

Your Questions, Answered

  • The ideal window for those sleepy, curled-up newborn photographs is between 5 to 14 days old. Ideally, as soon as the umbilical cord has fallen off. However, in-home lifestyle sessions can easily take place up to 6 weeks of age.

  • Not really, however, turning the heating up so your baby stays comfortable can genuinely help. Overall please don't spend the morning tidying. I'm not here to photograph your house. I'm here to photograph your family.

  • It’s completely normal, and genuinely not a problem. Every session is entirely baby-led. I build in plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and settling. There is no clock running and no pressure whatsoever and I simply work around your baby, always.

  • Usually somewhere between two and four hours, though I never rush. Some babies need more time than others and that is absolutely fine. The priority is always that you feel at ease and your baby feels comfortable — the photographs follow naturally from that.

  • Absolutely. Skin-to-skin photographs are one of the most meaningful parts of many newborn sessions. They beautifully capture the bond between you and your baby and are among the images parents treasure most. If you'd like these photographs, I'll gently guide you throughout the session to create natural, flattering portraits with both mum and dad.

  • I keep things intentional and uncluttered. The focus is always your baby and your family. If there are meaningful items you'd like to include: a special blanket or a gift you're very welcome to bring them in.

  • Yes, if we've worked together before, I offer a generous loyalty discount for your newborn photography package as a thank you.
