Welcoming your baby into the world is one of the most special times in life, and capturing those first few weeks helps preserve memories you’ll cherish forever.

Zach's Newborn Photoshoot – Soft, Simple, and Serene


This session with baby Zach was an absolute dream. He looked so peaceful wrapped in soft white fabric, surrounded by warm, earthy tones in my Sidcup-based studio. During my newborn sessions i will use set ups with and without props keeping the styling neutral to keep the focus on your baby’s delicate features and unique expressions.

Whether it's their tiny toes, button nose, or just how sleepy and curled up they are, I aim to create beautiful, heartfelt portraits that feel as gentle as your baby’s first days.

Why Choose a Natural Newborn Photography Style?


My style is soft, minimal, and baby-focused. I don’t use props that are too distracting or bright colours — instead, I let your baby’s natural beauty shine through in every photo.

These calm and timeless images ensure your gallery will look just as beautiful years from now as it does today. It’s also perfect for families looking for relaxed newborn photography in London that feels personal and meaningful.

Each session is fully baby-led — allowing time for feeding, cuddling, and settling. No pressure, no rush.

When to Book Your Newborn Photography Session


Newborn photoshoots are best held within 5 to 14 days after birth, when your baby is still very sleepy and can be gently posed. To secure availability, I recommend booking during your second or early third trimester.

📌 Location: I’m based in Sidcup, South East London, and welcome families from across Bexley, Greenwich, Bromley, Dartford, and wider London and Kent.

Kind Words

We would highly recommend Jo for newborn photography, her studio in Sidcup was perfect. We are so pleased with how our photos came out and look forward to more shoots in the future. Jo is so friendly, welcoming and took such care with our daughter. All of the photos were beautiful which is a testament to Jo’s skills. We never felt rushed and Jo made sure we got the images that we wanted. 10/10!
