For maternity, newborn babies and smaller children, the tranquility of the studio tends to produce the best images. I like the controlled light, low noise, and heat-controlled environment. As the UK weather can be a little .... unpredictable, it's often more pleasant to be in the studio. I do love my annual trips to Castle Farm to shoot in the lavander, so we can also enjoy playing outside if that's what you'd prefer. I'm very flexible and happy to use your home or another naturally lit location for these shoots.

My studio is located in Chelsfield which is close to Orpington, London and Kent border.

Every age and stage! But if I were to have another baby, these are the photo opportunities I would definitely not want to miss:

A maternity shoot and a newborn shoot.
A 'mini session' (20 – 30 minutes) at around four months old.
A full session when s/he is sitting but not yet crawling. If you go for this, a good time to book it is when your baby has started to sit but is still fairly 'scrunched up'. We schedule the shoot for a month later, by which time s/he should be sitting up beautifully.
Mark this significant milestone with a first birthday shoot which includes general portrait as well as a cake smash.

These staggered shoots would enable you to create a stunning first year album. After that I'd have a shoot every 6 – 18 months. You may want to repeat all the stages if you decide to have more children.

As soon as you have booked a session I will send you information on what works best for the type of shoot you are having and give you some general advice on the types of things to bring to your shoot.

Contact me via my contact form asap to get started and participate and let me know what is the best time of day to contact you as I will give you a ring within several days of me receiving the form.

I generally work 6 days a week - Monday to Saturday. We can shoot all shoots during the week but I do not shoot newborns over weekends as they tend to book up months in advance with maternity, baby and family shoots.

Contact me to discuss your needs and check availabilty.

Including important family members, whether they’re grandparents, aunts, uncles, godparents, or even pets, really makes the portraits extra meaningful. Those connections captured in photos become priceless memories, especially as the years go by.

You could plan some candid moments as well as posed shots to really capture the relationships and interactions naturally.

If you discuss this with me I can let you know how best to arrange things.

I shoot children of all ages, model portfolio’s, families and corporate headshots. I also love to photograph woman over 40.
