Newborn

This is what I love to find every time I walk through the door to start a newborn session. Not perfection—just real life, as it actually is. Parents getting on with the business of looking after their baby, while I quietly find the beauty in all of it. The feeding. The winding. The cuddles. The tears. Real life, exactly as it is. And somewhere in the middle of it all are the photographs that will mean the most years from now. First newborn sessions are always special to me—no

No two newborn sessions are ever the same — and that's exactly how it should be. This newborn session in Newcastle had it all. A family dog who needed zero encouragement to get involved. A toddler with very strong opinions about when (and whether) she was having her photograph taken. And a gorgeous sunny morning that meant we could get some outdoor shots too. As with my usual newborn sessions, I followed the family's lead in the main. Their dog joined in when he wanted to, th

This gorgeous newborn girl was two weeks old. Her big sisters were home. And it was anew regular morning for them all. By the time I arrived, the morning was already in full swing. Little bean was fed, changed, and doing what two-week-olds do best, being passed between people who didn't want to put her down. There was nothing different to any other morning, no tidied-away clutter, no one performing for the camera. And that’s exactly what makes mornings like this worth docu

Eight years ago, I photographed this family's gorgeous girl as a newborn. What an absolute delight to see them all again—now with their newborn son. They already knew what to expect from a newborn shoot - no stress, no pressure, super relaxed. Big sis aka mother hen drifted in and out. Mum and dad did their own thing, very much at ease with a newborn for the second time round. The newborn bubble—those early weeks where everything else disappears and it's just you, your baby,

This shoot was on a sunny, freezing cold December day, walking through Jesmond Dene. A walk this lovely family do often, and this time with mum expecting her second child. That's all you need for a maternity shoot. A place you know, in your home or outdoors, doing what you normally do, and just being yourselves. No awkward posing. No pressure. Just gentle direction to capture your lovely moments and life as it is right now, before everything changes. Because your real life is

A newborn shoot with a toddler and 2 older siblings - I expected a lot craziness and fun, we did get this but mostly it was calm and peaceful. Watching this mum manage all of it so calmly impressed me no end! A natural newborn shoot at home is perfect for a family like this. There's no pressure to perform, no need for anyone to sit still or cooperate. Together we take the shoot as it comes, working with your family's own rhythm. Your real life is more beautiful than you rea

When you’re expecting a baby, it can be hard to imagine just how quickly those first days will pass — or how much you’ll want to remember them later. In the newborn bubble, everything will feel very close. Days will blur into nights. Life will shrink to feeding, sleeping, soothing, and repeat. You’ll be exhausted, overwhelmed, and completely consumed — and at the same time, deeply in love, and in awe, in a way you’ve never felt before. When you’re living inside that bubble,

This was my first shoot of 2026 on a snowy day in January and it couldn't have been anymore cosy. This gorgeous newby slept pretty much all the way through, with big sis dipping in and out. These natural newborn shoots are so incredibly chill because there is no expectation on anyone to be any other than their beautiful selves - and what could be easier than that! Your real life is more beautiful than you realise ♥️ Newborn photography Newcastle. See more newborn photography

If you're expecting your second (or third, or more) baby and you've got a toddler at home, you might be wondering: how will a newborn shoot work with an energetic little one underfoot. It's a valid question because your toddler will probably have a bigger say in how the shoot goes than your newborn will. Your toddler has just had their whole world turned upside down. One day they're the centre of attention, the youngest or possibly an only child. The next day there's a tiny h

As we head towards the end of the year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what's been a fantastic year restarting my business. When I went live in April 2025, I honestly wasn't sure how it would go. It was four years since I had my last business, and I knew the social media landscape had completely changed. I knew I loved what I do - capturing real families, real moments, the ordinary magic of everyday life. But whether families out there would still want it, would trus

There's no one-size-fits-all approach to newborn shoots. Some families like gentle direction. Some prefer to do their own thing. Many want a mix. This family pretty much did their own thing. The sweetest big brother drifted in and out, even doing his own shoot at one point 😁. It was super relaxed, natural, with mum and dad doing what felt right for them. And the results are stunning. That's the beauty of documentary newborn photography. I work with how you need the shoot t

When new first time mum Eleanor got in touch, she was clear what she wanted in her newborn photos. A relaxed and natural shoot. No studios, and no awkward poses. So they decided on a home shoot. Beautiful natural light, a stunning nursery and a family in their own space, at their own pace - comfortable and relaxed. The photos captured those delicious little moments that make the early newborn days magical. Your real life is more beautiful than you realise ♥️ Baby photograp

When Harry's parents got in touch, they were clear about one thing, they did not want a super posed studio shoot. They wanted photos of their newborn, but natural ones in their own home. Harry slept through pretty much the entire shoot. We did not know beforehand if he was going to be awake, asleep, settled, unsettled. As it was he slept deeply and peacefully, completely unbothered by the camera. And that's exactly the point of these shoots. His parents got the photos they

There's something magical about going along to a family home with a teeny newborn and capturing those early days. It's the start of a different life for everyone. And it's lovely to simply let the session unfold in its own way. When big sister Rowan wanted to put her princess dress on, no. problem. When Amelia needed feeding, no problem. When Rowan got tired and bored, we just let her be how she needed to be. No stress, no drama—just a family enjoying the moment together

Baby photographer Durham and across the North East. Because the most beautiful moments happen where love lives 1. Your baby's story starts here This is where your baby first came home.

Welcoming a new baby is magical - and a bit of a whirlwind! The idea of packing clothes and a changing bag and getting out of the house on time to go to a studio can feel like a mammoth task in those early days. The great news is that you don't have to go anywhere to capture this fleeting, beautiful stage of your new life. My newborn sessions take place in the comfort of your own home - no need to brave the outside world or wrestle with a car seat when you'd rather be snuggl

I spent a lovely morning with what would have been a 2 week old baby Daphne - a joy of a baby to photograph. Every time mum came near Daphne would be searching for nippledom 😂 you know that way you breastfeeding mamas. We could have done with a metal bra if there was such a thing. This was a special photoshoot for a very, very special baby and beautiful family ❤️ Newborn photographer Newcastle See more newborn photography galleries. Learn more about my natural newborn sess

Newborn photography Newcastle. This shoot captured a slow morning at home with two 3 month baby girls - feeding, changing, snuggling and just trying to figure out this new rhythm of life with twins. Nothing styled, nothing staged. Just real life, as it was then. There is something really special about documenting families like this in their own space - no pressure to perform, just an honest record of what these early days really looked like, and to help in the future, rememb

Bringing a newborn baby home is one of the most exciting (and scariest) moments in life, the beginning of your new life's journey. Capturing this moment in time is so valuable given how special and fleeting it is! A newborn shoot at home is even more valuable as you are able to capture exactly what this time was like. A newborn shoot in your own home allows you to stay cosy and chill in your own space. Snug on the sofa, feeding in your nursery, cuddles on the bed, squeezing
