Natural, timeless, newborn, baby and family photography in Surrey & South West London. Hi, I'm Clare.

I'm a professional photographer specialising in natural portraits of newborns, babies and families. I'm based close to Hampton Court and work with families from across Surrey and London.

If there’s one thing I wish every parent knew before their newborn session, it’s that nothing needs to be perfect.

Your baby doesn’t need to sleep the whole time.

You don’t need to know how to pose.

And you definitely don’t need to worry about how the session will unfold.

Newborn sessions are slow, gentle and completely baby-led.

We pause for feeds, cuddles and nappy changes whenever they’re needed, and I’ll guide you through the whole session so everything feels calm and easy.

All you need to do is arrive with your baby, and I’ll take care of the rest 🤍

My diary is currently open for newborn sessions from July to November. If your baby is due this year and you’d love natural, timeless photographs of these early days, send me a message or visit my website to find out more.

One of the things I always encourage parents to do is get in the photographs with their baby.

I completely understand why you might feel hesitant in those early weeks. You’re tired, recovering, and probably not feeling your most glamorous self.

But these photographs become so much more meaningful over time.

One day, your baby will look back and see the way you held them….The way you looked at them…

And years from now, I think you’ll be so grateful to have these memories too 🤍

One of the loveliest things about milestone sessions is seeing just how much babies change during their first year.

The first smiles.
The little rolls.
Learning to sit.
The wonderfully serious expressions one minute, and huge giggles the next.

Every stage brings something completely different.

And because my sessions are simple and natural, the focus stays completely on your baby and their personality.

No props. No complicated set ups. Just beautiful, timeless photographs of this special stage of life 🤍

If your little one is between 3 and 13 months and you’d love natural photographs to remember this stage, I’m currently taking bookings for milestone sessions up to November. Send me a message or visit my website to find out more.

If you’re thinking about booking a newborn session, the one thing you need to know is that it’s best to book before your baby arrives.

Newborn sessions usually take place within the first two weeks, while babies are still very sleepy and curled up.

But because babies rarely arrive exactly on time, I only take a limited number of bookings each month so I can keep flexibility around due dates.

That means once your session is booked, you can relax knowing I’ll have space for you when your baby arrives - whether they’re early, late or right on time 🤍

Something parents often tell me after their newborn session is how calm and easy the whole experience felt.

And that’s exactly what I want for you.

Those first few weeks with a new baby can feel beautiful, emotional, exhausting and overwhelming all at once.

So my aim is always to create a calm, unhurried space where you can slow down for a couple of hours and simply focus on your baby.

There’s no pressure for your baby to ‘perform’.

We pause whenever your baby needs feeding, cuddles or changing, and work with what they need on the day.

The result is photographs that feel natural, relaxed and completely centred around your family 🤍

The newborn stage is such a tiny window of time.

Before you know it, they’ve stretched out, become more alert, and already started to change.

These photographs become such a lovely way to remember not just what your baby looked like, but what this season of life felt like too 🤍

If there’s one thing I love about baby milestone sessions, it’s how much personality shines through.

Every month in the first year is full of little changes from the first smiles, to rolling over, sitting up, crawling and the first, wobbly steps.

I absolutely adored photographing this little one at her milestone session…and the beauty of keeping things simple and prop free is that the photographs completely focus on the magic of her personality and all the amazing things she has learned to do so far ✨

If your little one is between 3 and 13 months and you’d love natural, timeless photographs to capture this stage, I’d love to help.

I’m currently taking bookings for sessions between June and October. Head to my website or send me a message if you’d like to find out more.

There’s something so special about photographing a family welcoming a new baby.

Especially when an older sibling is involved.

Sometimes they arrive bursting with excitement.

Others are a little shy or unsure.

And sometimes completely uninterested in the whole idea of having photos taken for the first ten minutes!

All of this is completely normal.

I never expect young children to sit perfectly and smile at the camera the whole time. The most lovely pictures happen in tiny moments - not endless hours of posing.

My aim is that sessions are always relaxed and child-led, with plenty of time and no pressure.

The result is photographs that feel natural and full of connection 🤍

Something I always focus on during a newborn session is the little details.

Tiny fingers.

Those soft, squishy lips.

The little toes that are walking before you know it.

It’s so easy to think you’ll remember them forever…

But these are often the first memories to fade as your baby grows.

Alongside the family photographs and those natural baby portraits, I always make space to capture these details too 🤍

My diary is currently open for newborn sessions up to October 2026. If your baby is due and you’d love to capture this stage in a natural, timeless way, send me a message or visit my website.
