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.

I sure do. The client wardrobe consists of beautiful dresses that I’ve sourced from all over the world, sizes to fit all mothers. And cosy knitwear for babies too. A photo guide of the client wardrobe is sent post booking, along with inspiration for clothes and styling, to help decide what the whole family should wear.
Most of my clients will message me with photos of ideas. I’m available to help you every step of the way.

We can expect your newborn photoshoot to take around 2 hours. This time frame ensures a calm and relaxed experience. We will work around baby’s needs. Allowing plenty of time for feeding, changing and comforting when needed.
I only book in one newborn photoshoot per day, so there really is no rush.
