The best time to book your newborn photoshoot is during pregnancy, ideally after your 20-week scan or at least a few weeks before your due date.


Newborn sessions are usually best when baby is still very little, ideally within the first 2–3 weeks after birth. At this stage, babies are often sleepier, more curled up and easier to gently settle into those beautiful newborn poses.


Because babies don’t always arrive exactly on their due date, I book newborn sessions as a flexible booking. This means we reserve a date around your due date, and once baby arrives, we can adjust the session if needed.


My newborn sessions are calm, relaxed and completely baby-led. I always follow your baby’s needs, with plenty of time for feeding, cuddles and settling. There is no rush.


All wraps, props, little outfits and styling details are provided by me, and your session can also include beautiful portraits with parents and siblings.


If you are expecting a baby and looking for a newborn photographer in Grantham, I always recommend booking in advance, as I can’t guarantee last-minute availability once baby has arrived.
