Gentle & Natural
The first days with a new baby pass in a blur of love, exhaustion, and wonder. My approach to newborn photography is to simply document that extraordinary time — gently, without staging or props, in the natural warmth and light of your own Hove home.
I work slowly, quietly, and entirely at your baby's pace. There's no agenda, no rushing, and no stressful posing. Just you, your family, and those precious first moments preserved with care.

My Approach
I come to you — your own home, with familiar light, smells, and warmth, is the perfect environment for a newborn.
We work entirely at your baby's pace. Feed, settle, cuddle — there is no schedule and no rush whatsoever.
Hove's generous natural light through your windows creates soft, timeless images — no harsh flash or artificial lighting.
Older brothers and sisters are very much part of the story. I love photographing those early sibling bonds.
I recommend booking during your second trimester — most newborn sessions take place in the first 5–14 days of life when babies are most settled. Booking ahead guarantees your slot; we confirm the exact date once your baby arrives.
Almost all sessions take place in your own home. Your home is warm, familiar, and filled with natural light that tells your unique story. I carry everything I need.
Yes — I travel across England for newborn sessions. A travel fee applies for sessions outside Cambridgeshire; I'll confirm the cost transparently when you enquire.
Allow 2–4 hours. Newborns set the pace — feeds, nappy changes, and settling time are all part of the session. I never rush.
