Natural Newborn Photoshoots in London and Buckinghamshire
This style of newborn photography embraces your baby’s purity, providing you with the fond reminder of today.
Less is often more.
In every newborn photoshoot, I will recommend taking some natural photos with your newborn lying on a soft blanket or flokati. These images are particularly important in years to come when you long for that gentle reminder of just how small they actually were. We all too quickly forget and I am here to help you remember. Natural newborn photography is when my style is kept simple; it may be a photograph incorporating a blanket, wrap or a small part of a parent’s hand or shoulder. I have a few petite pants your baby can wear over their nappy or we can simply keep them naked and I will gently pose them into a fetal position which most parents adore.
Allow me to be creative whilst keeping the focus on your baby.
Do you offer Newborn Photography within London homes?
Yes, Natural Newborn Photoshoots are popular for parents who would like to have a baby shoot in the comfort of their home. Since my studio is based in Gerrards Cross Buckinghamshire, I understand that some families might not want to drive in the first few weeks and would prefer me to come to their home; I offer home sessions within Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and London. I offer Newborn home shoots to all families who live within a 25 mile radius from Gerrards Cross. I am happy to drive to you and set up a mini studio within your living room or a space you feel would work for the photoshoot. My natural newborn style is simple and baby focused. Studio lighting will be set up and a selection of headbands, newborn wraps and stretch blankets will be offered on the day.

Will Natural Newborn Photoshoots still include family pictures?
Yes definitely, all my newborn photography shoot will include images of your baby as well as family pictures and photographs with each parent. This will create a collection of photographs which are perfect for albums, wall frames or can be used given as gifts to family and friends.
Do I need to provide any blankets or props for my baby on the day of their photoshoot?
If you have a special blanket or toy you would like to include into your baby session, you are most welcome to show me on the day and I will be happy to include it. If you don’t have anything, sit back and relax, I will make sure I have everything needed on the day to create the cutest baby pictures. If you would like some newborn images with props, I will be happy to show you the selection I have.
Can my other children attend the Newborn Photography shoot?
Yes, sibling photographs are my favourite and literally melt my heart. Young children might be a little overwhelmed when they first meet me and not understand what we are trying to accomplish so a Sibling Hour would need to be purchased. This hour allows for some extra time for your child to settle down, get use to the lighting and photographer. Afterwards I will guide your child/ children into sibling poses that work depending on their ages and we can get some family photographs at the same time.
Does my child have to be naked for the Natural Newborn Photoshoot?
No, your baby does not need to be naked. I will provide a selection of wraps and pants which we can use over their nappy to protect them from accidents. The pants I provide are simple and designed to fit your baby tightly so that they are not baggy, and you still capture your baby naturally. These pants can be kept on during the blanket poses and in props where you will not see the pants. If you would like your baby to be naked in some of the photos, there will be a time when we can do these natural naked photographs during your session. If you would like to buy some of your own simple pants for the day, I usually buy my newborn pants from a cute baby shop called Newbie.
I am a first time mum and have never had a studio photoshoot before, do I need to prepare for the day?
There are a few tips to help prepare your baby for the day and a guide on what to bring to your newborn shoot but with regards to you preparing for the day, no you do not need to do anything before unless you want to bring something to the session. I will have everything ready and set up for you. I have all the blankets, wraps, headbands and props for babies up to 4 weeks of age. On the day of your photoshoot, I will guide you and your partner and pose your baby. I am here to make you feel beautiful and make sure I photograph you in the most complementary way.
What happens after my newborn photoshoot?
After your newborn shoot, I would have taken lots of photographs. I will need a few days to go through all your images and select all the best ones for you to view. I will then send you a link so that you can choose which photographs are your favourite and those I will retouch for you in high resolution. If you would like more photographs then your package offers, you can upgrade or buy more through a the website. I will also always be available to chat and go through your newborn photographs with you if you feel you would like my advice. I am also available to guide you with suggestions on how to create art for your wall.
Do you offer frames for the wall?
Yes, I have a gorgeous selection of frames and products. I use the best labs in the country with high quality products and will be happy to create something special for your home. I will take your images through all the steps to create pieces of art for your home that will be delivered straight to your door. I will make sure everything is control checked and that your photographs and printed and framed to perfection.
