I love my newborn sessions; there’s nothing better than baby cuddles and capturing beautiful images of them being brand new. But what I love most is capturing the whirlwind of bringing your baby home and beginning this new chapter together. One day you will share these photos with your baby; what would they want to see? What they looked like as a baby? Sure. But seeing what you looked like back then and the details of their first-ever home that housed all your love in those first days together would mean much more.
This is more than newborn photos; it’s lifelong memories.
A Cornwall couples photoshoot is a perfect way to celebrate your love for each other. A little commemoration or a way to mark a special time in your lives. It really doesn’t have to be because of a landmark date, however. Take this gorgeous Cornwall couple shoot with Allie and Simon. A gorgeous American couple living in the UK. They are already married and love adventuring together with their lovely dog. They decided to not wait for the big moments together but to book a photoshoot with me “just because”. It was a perfect dreamy evening and really encapsulates their love and where they are in their life.
Why Cornwall?
Cornwall is the best location for a mini break. There are golden beaches, rolling hills, ancient forests and more than enough foodie options to keep you entertained.
It’s the perfect place to go if you want to get away and be surrounded by nature. There are plenty of beautiful coastal paths, beaches, and other outdoor activities that you can do with your partner. And while you’re here, it’s the perfect opportunity to capture photos together so you can relive it all over again.

A lot of times, I talk about transformations in my photography, and I truly believe that newborn family Photography is the ultimate example.
You might have seen my blog post showing Rufus’s parents before he was earthside. Glowing in love and magical in a simply ethereal shoot. Carrie-Louise looked phenomenal, a glowing pregnant goddess. Hair blowing in the wind, and dresses from my studio wardrobe. Total perfection. I adored it.
I adore this gallery just as much because it’s gentle and real. Here we are welcoming Rufus. This time at home, peaceful, tired, deeply in love. Transformed once more.
Come as you are
Bringing home your baby – I love being a small part of it, standing back and capturing all the moments for a couple of hours. I blend into the background as much as possible and let you do your thing as a family, then I come in a little closer for all those delightful newborn details.
Awake, feeding, snuggling, sleeping, we’ll capture it all. The beginning of family.
Take the time
It’s a total honour to be invited into your space to document this time with you. I love all the little details that creep into the pictures that show the realness of life with a newborn. It’s so important that you don’t stress about having me there and having your pictures. If you want to wear the dresses do, but if you want to be in your love cosy dressing gown, we’ll work with that too. This is the time to capture your new family as you are.
What’s important is you have this time to look back on. I guarantee you will never look back and wish you hadn’t taken pictures of your tiny little human before they grew to be taller than you. They will never be as little as they are now. But at least we can do our best to remember them so small.
Let’s connect and talk about your newborn family photography.
What makes my heart soar? A natural family photoshoot of a beautiful Mother and her babies.
What a gorgeous session I had with Sophia, Juniper and Luna at home in their stunning home in Torquay. This is what it is all about for me. Those simple moments juggling two little ones.
Sometimes we get in our heads a little about our photoshoots, how to style them, where to travel to that will have the best light. But honestly there is something really quite beautiful a stripped back, raw and beautiful shoot capturing you in your own element at home.
A quiet magic in photographs like these of Sophia playing with Juniper and her toys, breastfeeding Luna, cuddling on the sofa. Every day moments of motherhood that we don’t often manage to capture.
Travelling with you on your journey
I love to be in the presence of other creatives and soak up their creative energy. It’s especially lovely to be invited into their homes. I photographed Sophia previously during her pregnancy. Such a stunning session on the beach.
It was lovely to see her again. I’ve spoken about what an earth-mama she is and I felt it once again entering her house. Are you into plants? I walked into Sophia’s house and got instant plant envy. The light in the house and the stunning greens of the plants against beautiful white walls was just so lovely to photograph. Most definitely a treat for me! I’m always truly honoured to be asked by other photographers to photograph them. I think it really must be the highest form of flattery.
Capturing you in a natural family photoshoot
I made use of those wonderful windows and also just sat back to watch this stunning family at play. Capturing raw and candid images of your family is really what I am all about, this newborn session was just as much about the relationships of each family member and how they interact as much as it is about welcoming and documenting all the baby newness.
If you would like book a discovery call to discuss your newborn session then please get in touch. I can’t wait to meet you!
It was a total joy to be back with Natalie and co. after their at home Maternity Shoot to welcome beautiful Rainbow baby Charlie for their newborn photography. The house was looking totally adorable ready for Christmas. So naturally we got some cute shots of the family around the Christmas tree.
I always love see a family journey from Bump to birth and this was no different. The moody dark winter light was just perfect to show this winter newborn session.
In spite of him looking so peaceful, little Charlie gave his family a scare from a rocky birth. So these images are all the more precious knowing he is safe and well. Meaning Natalie can look back on this blurry time and gaze at her little newborn frozen in time.
Lola was obviously adoring being an older Sister to little Charlie and Joe was just so sweet around his new little Brother.
Book your Newborn Photography
I love snuggly baby sessions. The reminder of my own babies and how much I needed them near me in those first few months. What an incredible bond, it seems like just a few years ago. Enjoy all the snuggles and make sure you take as many pictures as they get very big very quickly!
So, in a nutshell If you’re based in Cornwall or Devon and find yourself searching “newborn photography near me” then your search is over. I am happily able to travel to you.
There are so many benefits to an in home baby photoshoot with your little one. Especially in capturing relaxed memories of this special time of where you are now. How precious to look back on.
I’ll gladly go through it with you in one of my discovery calls.
I was touched when Victoria reached out and asked me to photograph their newest arrival. I had already photographed her family of boys several times before, so I couldn’t wait to catch up with them all to document one of the first special days with their brand new baby GIRL!
Welcome, baby Darcey! From two to three, it’s certainly a journey. Three times the sleepless nights, the wild and the crazy, but also three times the love and cuddles. A favourite moment from my time with these guys was the big boys snuggling their baby sister. These really are the best, most special days.
Bringing your baby home is so exciting, especially when you have a little one dying to meet their little brother—such a special moment in time. The photographs below are full of life and love, but you may not realise that Lauren was worried about how 2-year-old Zak would behave during the at home newborn photography session. Not to mention a very tired Mum & Dad and all the other things you can expect when bringing your baby home for the first time – feeding and changing and feeding again, it’s all out of your control. These are things that A lot of my families worry about. But let me put your mind to rest and tell you that I love to capture families naturally. I don’t want to create perfectly posed images. I want to create images full of warmth, intimacy and honesty. And this sweet newborn session was just that, full of love and laughter and newborn snuggles—my perfect.
If you’re interested in documenting your days exactly as they are right now, please pop me a message; I’d love to hear from you.
