Southampton family travels to Sandbanks beach for a newborn photoshoot

Southampton newborn photographer

With over a decade of experience as a newborn photographer, I am so inspired by this season the stillness, the closeness, and the overwhelming love that comes with these early days.

I am based in Southampton, where I’ve spent many years photographing families through pregnancy, newborn and early parenthood. Over time, my work has gently evolved, and I now find myself increasingly drawn to the calm and simplicity of the Dorset coastline, where I offer natural, baby-led beach sessions.

Although I no longer offer in-home newborn sessions in Southampton, I continue to work with many families from Hampshire who choose to travel to Dorset for a slower, more relaxed photography experience by the sea.

Newborn photography for Southampton families on the coast

My sessions are slow, calm and entirely baby-led. I gently guide you with soft, relaxed direction, allowing natural connection to unfold. I am based in Southampton and now work along the Dorset coast, offering relaxed beach newborn photography for families who want a natural, unposed and serene experience by the sea.

I recommend booking after your 12 week scan to ensure availability in my diary. Currently, I’m accepting bookings for newborns due between May and August 2026.

Yes many families travel from Southampton and Hampshire for sessions on the Dorset coast.
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.
To secure your booking, a £100 deposit is taken at the time of booking. This deposit comes off your final balance, which is payable on the day of your shoot.
The best time is the chapter you’re in now. No matter the season, the beach offers a beautiful, natural backdrop that allows your story to unfold gently and honestly.
I’ve created a blog post here to show you how the beach looks throughout the seasons.
Definitely yes. I love meeting and photographing the babies I’ve already captured during pregnancy, it’s always a full circle moment. When you book both your maternity and newborn sessions together, I offer a 10% discount as a 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 be able to select your included 10 digital images.
You’ll also have the opportunity to invest in additional images and artwork for your home, including framed wall art, fine art prints and heirloom albums. Perfect for enjoying your photographs every day rather than keeping them stored on a device.
A full digital collection is also available if you wish to receive all edited images from your session.
