Newborn Photoshoot in North West London
Newborn Photoshoot
Capture the magic of those early days with a newborn photoshoot experience – one that is calm, connected, and filled with soft, timeless portraits of your baby.
The best time for your session is between 5 and 14 days old, when your baby is still sleepy, curled up, and comfortable being gently posed. These baby portraits preserve tiny details and quiet moments that pass by so quickly.
How Your Studio Newborn Photography Session Works
Newborn sessions are delicate and deeply meaningful, so I limit the number I take on each month to ensure every family receives the time, care, and attention they deserve.
To secure your spot, it’s best to book your session based on your due date. This allows us to plan and ensure availability during those precious early days when your baby is still tiny, sleepy, and beautifully new.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you understand what to expect:
- Initial Contact: Please reach out to check my availability and secure a slot based on your due date. Please fill in the contact form with as many details as possible to help me better understand your vision and preferences.
- Photoshoot location: All newborn sessions take place in my cosy and serene home studio in Stanmore, North West London (1 Hilltop Way, HA7 3DB). It’s a nurturing space where parents can relax and the baby can feel safe and calm.
The studio is conveniently located for families travelling from Harrow, Edgware, Pinner, Bushey, Watford, and nearby areas across London and Hertfordshire.
Newborn sessions are by appointment only and take place in the mornings, Monday through Saturday, between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, when babies are typically most settled and sleepy. - Phone Consultation: We’ll get to know each other better during our phone consultation and plan your session. We’ll discuss important details, such as outfit options, poses, and your preferred style, to ensure I understand precisely what you’re looking for and confirm that I’m the right photographer for you.
- Secure Your Booking: Once we’ve discussed your vision, you can secure your session with a £99 non-refundable retainer, which will be deducted from your final order.
- Choose Your Package: During booking, you’ll choose the package that best suits you – each one includes prints so your favourite images live beyond the screen.
- The Photoshoot: The actual photoshoot will be scheduled after your baby’s arrival. I’ll work with you to create images that truly reflect who you are and your special bond with your baby. I’ll ensure you have a relaxed and enjoyable experience as we capture the beauty and love of this special time in your life.
- Final Payment: The remaining balance for your session is due at the end of the photoshoot. You can pay by bank transfer, card, or cash.
- Viewing Your Images: Approximately 4-5 weeks after your photoshoot, you will have access to a private online gallery to view your fully edited images and select your favourites.
- Ordering Additional Products: You can purchase extra digital files, prints, and wall art separately as à la carte products:
- Additional high-resolution digital image: £30
- A detailed price list for additional products is available on the Wall Art page.
- If narrowing it down feels impossible, you’re not alone – many clients feel the same. That’s why the Full Gallery is the most popular and valuable choice.
- Full Gallery upgrades and wall art purchases are available with flexible payment options. I’ll provide a secure payment link where you can choose to pay via credit card, PayPal, or Klarna (3 interest-free instalments) – whichever suits you best.
- Delivery of Your Products: Once you’ve selected your images, you can download your digital files. Your prints and wall art will be delivered to your home within up to 4 weeks.
Please note that unedited images are not included in any packages and are not available for purchase.
Your baby’s first days are fleeting, but the memories don’t have to be.
Let’s create soft, heartfelt newborn portraits that preserve this beautiful chapter.

Frequently asked questions about newborn photography
If this is your first time booking a newborn photoshoot, you likely have questions – and that’s perfectly normal. Below are answers to the most frequently asked questions by parents.
Welcoming a new life into the world is a time filled with love, joy, and emotion – moments that pass quickly. A professional newborn baby photography session is a beautiful way to preserve the fleeting beauty and wonder of your baby’s earliest days.
As a professional newborn and baby photographer in London, I specialise in capturing these early moments and turning them into timeless memories. From tiny hands and feet to peaceful expressions, I create newborn portraits in North West London that reflect the bond between you and your baby.
My goal is to make your baby photography session as relaxed and stress-free as possible, so you can focus on what matters most – enjoying your little one.
The ideal time is between 5 and 14 days after birth, when your baby is still sleepy, curled up, and easy to pose for photos. This is when we can capture those beautifully natural newborn portraits that reflect their earliest expressions and tiny details.
The best time to book your newborn baby photography session is after your 20-week ultrasound scan, allowing us to secure your preferred time slot in advance.
If your baby has already arrived, don’t worry – reach out. I’ll do my best to accommodate a last-minute newborn photoshoot.
All sessions are held in the morning, when babies are most settled – perfect for capturing calm, natural portraits.
A typical session lasts 2 to 4 hours, allowing ample time for feeding, cuddling, and soothing your baby. Every studio baby session is baby-led, allowing space for breaks and adjustments to keep things comfortable.
Your baby’s safety and well-being are always the top priority – there’s absolutely no rush.
Absolutely! You’ll receive a styling questionnaire to choose your preferred colours, props, and aesthetic.
If you’re planning to display your photos at home, we can coordinate colours to match your décor. I offer a range of soft, skin-friendly outfits and beautiful studio props to complement your unique style.
Yes – you’re welcome to share any poses you love. However, each baby is unique, and I always follow their natural cues.
Your baby’s comfort and safety come first. I never force a pose – instead, I aim to create natural, beautiful newborn portraits that reflect their personality and your connection.
Yes – family participation is highly encouraged! Including parents, siblings, and even pets creates meaningful portraits that capture your growing bond.
Please bring neutral, coordinated outfits to ensure your portraits look elegant and timeless.
While I provide essentials in the studio, here’s what you should bring:
- Your baby’s preferred brand of nappies
- Extra bottles or breastfeeding supplies
- A favourite blanket, pacifier, or comfort item
- A change of clothes
Being prepared ensures a smoother and more relaxed session, allowing us to focus on capturing beautiful moments.
Not at all. While the ideal window is 5–14 days, I’ve photographed babies up to 6 weeks old with beautiful results.
If your baby is already a bit older and more alert, we can either adjust your newborn session or start planning ahead for a joyful cake smash session to celebrate their upcoming first birthday.
Just reach out – I’ll guide you through the best option for your little one.
Totally normal – and nothing to worry about. I allow plenty of time for comforting, feeding, and cuddling. Every session is gentle and completely baby-led, ensuring your little one feels safe and secure.
With years of experience in newborn and baby photography, I know how to work at your baby’s pace and capture authentic, peaceful images – even if there are a few fussy moments along the way.
I’ve worked with dozens of new families across North West London, creating newborn baby portraits that are heartfelt and timeless. My home studio is a peaceful space where you and your baby can relax, and I gently guide you through each step, ensuring you feel calm and confident throughout the session.
From the soft styling and baby-led approach to the care I put into editing every final image, my goal is to deliver not just beautiful photographs, but a meaningful, stress-free experience you’ll remember fondly.
