Your baby's first days won't last forever
Relaxed, natural newborn photography in the comfort of your own home.
Those first days with your baby are a beautiful blur of feeds, cuddles, tiny stretches, sleepy snuggles and very little sleep.
Before you know it, the tiny newborn you spent hours rocking in your arms is growing and changing before your eyes.
My relaxed, in-home newborn sessions are all about slowing down and capturing this little chapter of your family's story - just as it really is.
Let's capture the beautiful everyday moments
The everyday moments can feel ordinary when you're living them, but they're the ones you'll miss the most.
I'll capture the tiny details, the cuddles, the chaos and the connection - the little things that tell the story of this fleeting stage of your family's life.
Your baby. Your family. Your home.
There is something really special about photographing your baby in the place where they are already comfortable and loved.
You don't need to travel somewhere unfamiliar with a newborn. You don't need to pack half the house into the car. And you don't need to create a picture-perfect home.
I'll come to you and capture beautiful photographs in the spaces and moments that are already part of your everyday life.
Your baby can look back one day and see just how loved they were.
What does an in-home newborn session look like?
Relaxed. Unhurried. Completely baby-led.
There is no strict schedule and no pressure to make your baby behave for the camera. We'll simply go with the flow of your day.
If your baby needs fed, we stop and feed them.
If they need changed, we change them.
If they need a cuddle, we have a cuddle.
And if they need to be walked around the house for twenty minutes before settling, that's absolutely fine too.
These moments aren't interruptions to the session - they are the session.
I'll photograph the little everyday moments as they happen and give you gentle prompts when needed, helping you capture the connection between you in the most natural way.
There is no awkward posing and no expectation that you know what to do in front of the camera.
Just you, your baby and the people who love them most.
What if my house isn't perfect?
It really doesn't matter.
Your home doesn't need to look like a magazine.
You don't need to spend the night before cleaning every room.
And your baby certainly doesn't need to sleep through the whole session.
I'll find the beautiful light, work with the spaces you use every day and gently guide you when needed.
The focus is on the connection, the cuddles and all those little details you'll want to remember.

FAQ
When is the best time to have a newborn session?
If you're hoping for those lovely sleepy, curled-up newborn photographs, the first 2–3 weeks after birth are ideal. But there really isn't a deadline for capturing your baby - every stage is worth remembering.
What if my baby won't settle?
That's absolutely fine! Newborn sessions are completely baby-led. If your baby needs feeding, changing, cuddling or simply some time to settle, we take the time they need. These moments are part of the session, not interruptions to it.
Do we need to tidy the house?
No! Please don't spend the night before your session frantically cleaning. I'm not there to photograph your house - I'm there to photograph your family. I'll find the beautiful light and work with the spaces you already use.
What should we wear?
I'll send you a preparation guide before your session with lots of advice on what to wear. The aim is for everyone to feel comfortable and like themselves, rather than overly dressed or posed.
Can we include siblings and pets?
Absolutely. Your newborn session is about your whole family, so siblings and pets are very welcome to join in.
What happens if my baby needs fed during the session?
We stop and feed them! Whether you're breastfeeding or bottle feeding, there is no need to work around the photography. We'll simply go with what your baby needs.
Where do you offer newborn sessions?
I'm based in West Lothian and offer relaxed in-home newborn sessions throughout Central Scotland.
