Sneak Peek Time!

This gorgeous newborn gallery has now been sent over to Mum for her to choose her favourite images from.

One of the hardest parts of a newborn session isn’t settling the baby or choosing the props… it’s deciding which images to keep!

Just look at this beautiful little newborn girl, peacefully dreaming away on her floral swing.

I can’t wait to see which images this lovely family falls in love with and chooses for their final collection.

If you’re expecting a baby, newborn sessions are best booked during pregnancy to guarantee availability. All props, outfits and accessories are provided, and parents and siblings are always welcome.

Who else would struggle to choose just a few favourites from this gallery? 🥹👇

What a beautiful collection of images from Libby’s newborn photoshoot!

At 3 weeks old, Libby came into the studio as one of my newborn model call babies, helping me showcase some of my beautiful outfits and setups. She was an absolute dream throughout her session and gave us so many gorgeous images.

Those tiny details, sleepy snuggles and delicate little features change so quickly in those first few weeks, making these memories even more precious.

Thank you to Libby’s family for allowing me to capture these special moments and for letting me share them with you all.
