In-Home Newborn Photography across Kent
Gentle Portraits in Your Own Home, Your Own Space
The first days at home with your newborn are unlike any other time in your family's life — tender, overwhelming, exhausting, and extraordinary all at once. In-home newborn photography captures that particular atmosphere: the morning light through your window, familiar things around the baby, your whole family together in the place you live.
I travel to families across Kent — from Canterbury and the north Kent coast to Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Maidstone, and the Medway towns. Sessions are gentle, unrushed, and entirely baby-led. You don't need a Pinterest-perfect home; you need yours.
Sessions are available from £245, with packages covering newborn only, newborn and sibling, or a maternity and newborn bundle.

Kent Newborn Photography FAQs
When is the best time to schedule a newborn session in Kent?+
The ideal window is within the first 10–14 days after birth, while babies sleep deeply and are at their most curled and settled. I recommend booking during your third trimester and we'll confirm the exact date once your baby arrives.
Do you travel across Kent?+
Yes — I travel to all areas including Canterbury, Maidstone, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Sittingbourne, Chatham, Gravesend, Deal, Dover, Folkestone, Faversham, Ashford, and surrounding villages.
What happens if my baby doesn't cooperate?+
Newborn sessions are always led by your baby. If they need feeding, changing, or simply more settling time, we take as long as needed. There is no rush and no pressure — we work to your baby's schedule, not mine.
How should we prepare our home for the session?+
I bring all props, wraps, and accessories. All you need to do is keep the house comfortably warm — babies settle much better in a warm room. I'll guide you through everything else the week before your session.
Can we include our older children?+
Absolutely — the Newborn & Sibling package is specifically designed for this. Sibling moments are consistently among the most treasured images from newborn sessions. I include time for sibling introduction portraits as well as individual sibling images.
