Newborn Photography, explained

Posed and lifestyle sessions capturing your baby in the first 5–14 days.

the one thing to get right

Book your session during pregnancy and aim for days 5–14 after birth, when newborns sleep deepest and curl most naturally — and always choose a photographer trained in safe newborn posing.

Posed / studio

Carefully styled, props and wraps, controlled studio lighting. Timeless, gallery-ready portraits.

Lifestyle / at home

Relaxed, candid moments in your own home or outdoors. Natural, story-led and unposed.
