Tiny details. Soft breaths. The quiet beginning of a whole new story.
Newborn sessions are slow, calm, and centred around connection — a space where you can simply hold your baby and be present.
Newborn lifestyle sessions are calm, gentle and completely baby‑led. They take place in the comfort of your home, where you and your baby already feel safe, settled and supported. There’s no rushing, no pressure and no need to leave the house in those early days when everything still feels new.
I photograph newborns in a natural, documentary‑inspired way — soft stretches, tiny details, sleepy cuddles, the way your home feels in this moment, and the quiet rhythm that settles around a new baby. It’s an experience designed to be easy for postpartum mums, relaxed for babies, and true to your family.
Your home becomes part of the story: the chair you feed in, the bed you rest on, the window light you love, the little corners that will one day feel nostalgic. Pets can be included, siblings can wander in and out, and everything unfolds at your pace.
Why at‑home newborn sessions work so well
• Comfort for baby — familiar smells, familiar sounds, warm spaces
• Ease for postpartum mums — no packing, no travel, no stress
• Natural connection — real moments in your own environment
• Flexible and calm — breaks for feeding, changing, settling
• Your home becomes part of the memory
• Pets and siblings included effortlessly
At-home sessions allow your newborn to stay relaxed and content, and they give you the freedom to simply be present. The result is a gallery that feels honest, warm and deeply personal.
"I was so relieved we didn’t have to leave the house. Everything felt calm and natural, and the photos look exactly like those early days — soft, emotional and real."
The early days are quiet, tender and fleeting — photographing them at home keeps them exactly as they felt.
A slow, gentle session with natural direction, soft light and plenty of time for feeding, cuddles and settling. I guide you through everything, but I never rush or force moments — your baby leads the pace.


Newborn Session — £249
Duration: 2-3 hours
A calm, natural newborn session in the comfort of your home here in Doncaster. No rushing, no posing, no pressure — just gentle storytelling of your baby’s earliest days.
Your session includes the full curated gallery, usually between 60–120 images, edited in my soft, warm style. I don’t limit moments or hold back photographs. Every image that contributes to your story is included, because newborn photography is about connection, not counting frames.
Sessions last around 2–3 hours, with plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, settling, and breaks. Everything is baby‑led, and your home becomes part of the memory — the chair you feed in, the bed you rest on, the window light you love, and the quiet corners that will one day feel nostalgic.

Q&A Highlights:
• When should I book?
Newborn sessions are best booked just after your 12‑week scan, ensuring plenty of flexibility around your due date for scheduling.
• What age is best for newborn photos?
Newborn sessions work beautifully anytime in the first few weeks. Babies are naturally sleepy and curled in the early days, but older newborns are just as wonderful — more awake, more expressive, and still perfect for lifestyle photography.
• How long does a newborn session take?
Around 2–3 hours, with plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, settling, and breaks. Everything is baby‑led.
• Do I need to prepare my home?
Not at all. You don’t need to tidy or change anything. We work in the spaces that feel natural to you.
• Can siblings be included?
Absolutely. Siblings can wander in and out naturally — it’s part of the story.
• What if my baby is unsettled on the day?
This is completely normal. The session is flexible and slow‑paced, with time built in for feeding, cuddles, and settling.
• Do you provide guidance on what to wear?
Yes — I keep things simple and easy. My full Style Guide is already available on the website, with soft, neutral wardrobe suggestions that photograph beautifully for both parents and baby. You can browse it anytime before your session.
• When will I receive my images?
Your edited online gallery will be delivered within 2–3 weeks. I aim to complete all galleries within 2 weeks, though timelines may extend slightly during peak seasons.
If you feel ready to capture these early moments in a calm, natural way, you can get in touch with me here and we’ll gently plan your newborn session together.
