Natural newborn photography designed around your family

Those first few weeks are unlike anything else. The sleepy cuddles, tiny fingers wrapped around yours, the overwhelming love and the beautiful chaos of adjusting to life with a new baby.

Every family experiences this chapter differently, which is why I’ve reimagined my newborn sessions to give you the freedom to create a photography experience that feels right for your family. Some families want beautiful portraits of their newborn baby. Some want to celebrate the new bond between siblings. Others want the whole family involved, including the dog.

There is no right or wrong way to document these memories. You simply choose the moments that matter most, and together we create a session tailored entirely to your family.

My newborn studio in Ellon, Aberdeenshire provides a calm, relaxed environment where your baby’s comfort and safety always come first. Sessions are completely baby-led, with plenty of time for feeds, cuddles and settling. With over 12 years of experience photographing newborns and growing families, I’ll guide you through the entire process so you can relax and simply enjoy this special chapter.

Frequently asked

What do we wear?

Simplicity is key if you want timeless images. If possible, I would stick to neutral colours. White, cream, and grey work best, as do earthy tones like mustard or dark green. 

How do I entertain my toddler?

We understand that keeping your other children happy and entertained is important during your session. We have a variety of toys in the studio plus we have a lovely garden where they can play. Feel free to bring a change of clothes for outdoor fun while we focus on the baby. Bring along any devices that might help as well as snacks or a packed lunch. Generally, toddlers have a great time here and we ensure everyone leaves happy. 

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Yes please, the booking fee is £150 and this is deducted from your balance that is due once you have received your online gallery.

How many images will we receive?

Every collection includes your full gallery from the setups we photograph together. You won’t need to choose favourites or worry about upgrading packages later.

What happens if my baby doesn’t settle?

Dont worry if your baby isn’t settling-I’ve got you covered! With extensive experience photographing hundreds of newborns, I am confident you won’t leave disappointed or stressed. I create a relaxed atmosphere and if your little one is fussy we work on settling together. Your comfort and experience are my top prioritys. ‘

Do I need to bring anything for the baby?

Generally no, just pack the same way you would if you were heading out to lunch. Bring plenty of milk and any soothers you normally use. I have wraps for swaddling the baby and lots of little accessories you can choose from but if you would like anything personal included in the images then feel free to bring them along. 

When is the session booked?

I simply take a note of your due date for my diary and we don’t book your session until your baby arrives. All you need to do is get in touch when your home and ready and I will let you know my availability.
