Newborn Photographer in South East London & Bexley
Capturing your baby’s earliest days in a calm, natural and meaningful way.
I’m a newborn photographer in South East London and Bexley, creating relaxed, baby-led newborn photography for families across Sidcup, Welling, Eltham and surrounding areas.
A Calm, Baby-Led Newborn Photography Experience
My newborn sessions are designed to feel gentle, unhurried and completely centred around your baby.
There is no pressure for your baby to sleep or settle in a certain way — everything is guided naturally, allowing your baby to feel comfortable and safe throughout.
These early days pass so quickly, and my aim is to capture them in a way that feels real, relaxed and meaningful.
Studio or At-Home Newborn Sessions
You can choose the setting that feels most comfortable for you:
Studio sessions
Simple, calm and timeless, with soft, natural tones.
At-home sessions
Relaxed and personal, capturing your baby in the comfort of your own space.
If you’re unsure which feels right, I’ll gently guide you so your session feels natural and easy.

When to Book Your Newborn Photoshoot
Newborn sessions are usually booked during pregnancy to ensure availability around your due date.
Sessions typically take place within the first few weeks after birth, when babies are naturally sleepier and more settled.

FAQ
What age should my baby be for newborn photographs?
For posed newborn photography, I recommend photographing babies within the first 2–3 weeks after birth. However, beautiful photographs can still be created with older newborns too. However, if your baby has already arrived or is older than this, please don't worry. I regularly photograph newborns up to 8 weeks old and can still create beautiful, timeless images of your baby. While older babies may be more awake and less likely to settle into some of the sleepy poses, we can capture gorgeous expressions, eye contact and natural portraits that you'll treasure just as much.
How do I book in?
It's a £100 deposit to secure a session, the balance for your chosen package is then due on the day of your session. I would book you in noting your due date and then once baby has arrived we would arrange the session within 2 weeks of the birth.
When will we receive our photos?
Your preview gallery of edited photos from your session will be emailed to you 3-4 weeks later and this is when you can select your photos for your package. If you wish to upgrade to a higher package if you have gone for a smaller package you can do.
Do you supply all of the props and assessories?
I have everything that is need in my cosy newborn studio and will supply all of the props and assessories. Of course if you wish to bring anything personal to be in the photos you can!
Can we include family and sibling photos within the session?
The Wrapped Newborn Mini Session is a baby-only session and does not include parent, sibling or family photographs.
If you would like family photographs with your newborn, I recommend booking either a Studio Newborn Session or an At-Home Lifestyle Newborn Session.
Can I get the unedited RAW photos?
NO! I never give out the RAW unedited photos. The photos you receive will be the photos stated in the package you have paid for.
When and where do newborn sessions take place?
Newborn sessions take place at my studio in Sidcup at DA14. They take place on a weekday at 10.30am. If you need a weekend if i am available it's a £50 extra fee.
How long does a newborn session last?
This depends on the session you choose.
Wrapped Newborn Mini Sessions last up to 1 hour.
Studio and Lifestyle Newborn Sessions usually last between 2–4 hours, allowing plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, settling and family photographs.
What happens if my baby isn't happy during the session?
I have never had to re do a session or not get the images that a family wanted but if for some reason the session doesn’t go to plan we can reschedule for another date.
When should I book my newborn session?
I recommend booking during your pregnancy, ideally after your 20-week scan, to ensure availability around your due date.
