Your Southampton & Dorset newborn photographer
Capturing the love surrounding baby, and intimate moments with all of the family.
Natural newborn photography Southampton & Dorset
As a newborn photographer in Southampton with over a decade of experience, I am so inspired by this season, the stillness, the closeness and the overwhelming love. I am passionate about capturing your newborn baby in a way that you can look back on and remember these precious hazy days truly. Those tiny fingers curled around yours, the way your baby settles against your chest, the gentle chaos of new parenthood unfolding in the most beautiful way.
I’ll gently guide you with soft and relaxed direction, which allows for natural connection and interaction to occur. My sessions are slow, calm and entirely baby led. I offer beach newborn photography in Dorset and on the south coast, perfect for families who love being by the sea and want a truly unique, serene, and natural newborn photography experience.
Bookings are best made after your 12 week scan to secure a space in my diary. I am now taking bookings for newborns due between April and June 2026.

Newborn photography FAQs
-
Most of my clients get in touch after their 12 or 20 week scan, which is perfect for securing your preferred session date and making sure I’m available when your baby arrives.
-
I love photographing newborns within the first 4 weeks after birth. It’s such a precious time.
-
Yes, I do. It’s always such an honour to meet and photograph the babies I’ve captured during pregnancy, it’s truly something special. When you book both your maternity and newborn sessions together, I offer a 10% discount as a little thank you.
-
I sure do. My client wardrobe features a carefully curated collection of beautiful dresses sourced from all over the world, with styles and sizes to suit all pregnant mothers. Once your session is booked, you’ll receive a photo guide of the wardrobe, along with clothing and styling inspiration to help everyone feel confident and prepared for the shoot.
-
We can expect your shoot to last around 1 - 2 hours. This allows for a calm, relaxed experience where we work around your baby’s needs, feeding, changing, and comforting whenever needed. I only book one newborn session per day, so there’s no rush, and we can take all the time we need to capture those special moments.
-
Yes, absolutely. When you receive your online gallery (approximately 3–4 weeks after your shoot), you’ll have the option to purchase a range of beautiful add-on products for your home or as gifts for family and friends. You can also choose to upgrade to the full digital gallery for £150.
