Before we even talk about newborn photography, let’s talk about you. Elated, excited, exhausted you. In the midst of all the feeding, nesting, and nappies, an hour to recharge will feel like rain in the desert.
So while you’re with me, I’m going to make you feel as pampered and relaxed as possible! And if you’re contented and calm, your baby will be too.
We’ll hug hello, snuggle into the sofa and get comfy. You can choose drinks from my little menu, try on some things from my client wardrobe, maybe have a little snack. We’ll have a chat, talk about life, you can unload if you need to (sometimes it’s nice to just have a good vent, you know?!)
And there’ll be no rush. This is time for you. Once your baby’s all settled and sleepy, we’ll get started.
Let’s close the door to the outside world, relax into the space, and give you some dedicated time together as a family. No distractions, no work, no worries, just you. Head-to-toe in love, and completely in the moment with your beautiful new baby.
There’ll be times during our session when you can just curl up on the sofa and watch.
I’ll wrap them gently, so they’re safe, comfy, and free to have a wriggle. And while you’re resting and recharging, I’ll capture all those impossibly perfect details. The tiny hands and feet; that fine, peach-fur skin, those cupid bow lips. Giving you crisp, uncluttered, artistic photos.
Photos that’ll make you sigh, “my God, I’d forgotten they were so small…”
And when you’re ready, I’ll invite one- or both- of you into the frame. I’ll give you some guidance, so you’re never feeling lost, or unsure. But it’s the raw, naturaI moments I’m waiting for. Gentle kisses on tiny feet. A sniff, a happy laugh, and a tear-wet kiss. The way you smile to yourself as you breathe them in.
You’ll come away feeling closer, calmer, and happier. And when you look at the photos, you’ll see this fleeting chapter in your lives together; captured intimately, honestly, in all its raw, natural beauty.

Lucy gave us the most incredible newborn photoshoot experience, as soon as we arrived we instantly felt at ease. She was warm and friendly and this helped us feel relaxed in front of the camera with our new baby! Lucy was totally down to earth and knew that a newborn may not always play ball! This acknowledgement actually meant that we were more accepting and ready for anything therefore our little girl was completely chilled for the whole shoot… At two weeks old! The pictures Lucy took are absolutely amazing.

There’s something a little bit magical about seeing your newborn baby on film.
Their little arms and legs, stretching out gratefully into space they’re not used to having. A yawn, or a gentle sigh; their skin, dimpled, creased and oh so delicate. Their eyes, alive with interest as they scan every inch of your face; your eyes filled with love as you look into theirs.
The photos will be beautiful, emotional; a film will transport you back.
With each of my newborn photography sessions, I also give you the option to include a newborn film. Your experience will be the same, and there won’t be any extra people in the room with us. I’ll record video as I’m taking photos, and put together a short film for you set to music.
And believe me, in just a few short months, you’ll watch the video together, in disbelief at how much they’ve grown and changed.
If you’d like to add a newborn film onto your package, let me know at any time before the session
