Newborn Family Photography in South East London – Including Siblings for a Personal Touch


Welcoming a newborn is one of life’s most beautiful and emotional moments — and what better way to celebrate this new chapter than with natural, family-centered newborn photography? Based in Bexley, I offer calm, baby-led newborn sessions across South East London, including Bromley, Eltham, Sidcup, and the Kent borders.

Why Family Photos Matter in Newborn Sessions


Including parents in your newborn photoshoot tells a deeper story. The loving glances, the way a parent gently holds their tiny baby, the quiet connection — these are moments that pass all too quickly in real life but can be frozen in time with thoughtful photography.

Including Sibling Photos in Your Newborn Session


Adding siblings into your newborn session is a wonderful way to celebrate your family’s bond. Whether it’s a proud big brother cuddling his new sibling or a candid moment of giggles between siblings, these photos are often the most treasured.

Many parents worry their toddlers or older children won’t sit still or cooperate — but I keep these interactions relaxed and natural, never forced. I work around your child’s energy and attention span to create something authentic.

A Relaxed, Baby-Led Approach

Every session is led by your baby. I allow plenty of time for cuddles, feeds, and breaks, ensuring your experience is calm, unhurried, and completely baby-focused. My natural style of posing helps capture genuine expressions and timeless moments without stiff or formal setups.

Rowe's newborn session

I had the pleasure of photographing little Rowe's newborn session in my Bexley photography studio and he was just the cutest little baby. I started the session with some beautiful natural newborn photos using neutral tones and soft textures. With lots of little brakes for feeds and cuddles little Rowe was relaxed and calm, we even managed to get the sweetest smiles during the session. Finishing off the session with some family and sibling photos, this really was just the perfect session!
