Gentle lifestyle newborn photography in your Warwickshire home — the first days, exactly as they were.
Warwickshire Newborn Photography
Warwickshire's varied character — from the spa elegance of Leamington to the timbered streets of Stratford, the castle town of Warwick, and the market town warmth of Rugby — gives in-home newborn photography here a distinctive quality in every setting. These are sessions about your family, in your actual home, in the first irreplaceable days.
I photograph everything that is actually happening: the exhausted, joyful, intimate reality of the first week with a new baby. No studio, no arranged props — just natural light, your family, and the truth of those first days.
The Approach
Warwickshire light at home
Warwickshire's Georgian and Victorian town houses — the Regency terraces of Leamington Spa, the timbered buildings of Stratford-upon-Avon, the red-brick suburbs of Rugby and Coventry — all create their own character for in-home newborn photography. I work with the natural light your home provides, wherever it falls best.
Documentary, not posed
No bowls, no wrapping, no props. These sessions document the first days: baby sleeping on your chest, being held by your partner, being met by siblings, the quiet of early morning feeding. Everything that is actually happening, captured as it is.
Book from around 20 weeks
Reserve your provisional session date during pregnancy. The ideal window is 5–14 days after birth — we confirm once your baby arrives and remain flexible with scheduling.

I cover all of Warwickshire including Royal Leamington Spa, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick, Rugby, Kenilworth, Nuneaton, Bedworth, Alcester, and the surrounding villages across the county.
Leamington's Regency and Georgian townhouses have tall sash windows that produce wonderfully soft, diffused natural light — very similar to Bath. Homes in the Parade and the Royal Priors area in particular often have exceptional bedroom and sitting room light.
Yes — village and rural properties across Warwickshire are often beautiful for newborn photography. Converted barns, farmhouses with south-facing windows, and older stone or brick properties produce distinctive and warm imagery.
5–14 days after birth. This is when the deep newborn sleep and curled posture are most present. After about three weeks the character begins to shift, and the distinctive newborn quality becomes harder to capture.
I'm based in Cambridge — Warwickshire is on my regular travel circuit. Travel is included in the session price for most Warwickshire locations.
