Newborn Photoshoot Edinburgh

Babies are simply adorable so my aim is to ensure I can capture the beautiful details and special moments especially in the first few weeks when you are navigating parenthood; the routine feeds, sleepless nights, getting used to your baby and the pure emotion of falling in love with them more and more each day.

I really enjoy being a small part of your incredible newborn baby journey, allowing me to present photos that serve as a lasting gift for you to proudly display in their homes and share with friends and family.

The newborn stage doesn’t last very long, but your pictures will.

Your home, your pace

The newborn photography sessions are held in the comfort of your own home, making it stress-free, relaxed and enjoyable, allowing me to capture all the details from the little “aww” moments to the many cute expressions.

I understand how unpredictable babies can be, so these sessions are completely baby-led, with plenty of time for cuddles, feeds, nappy changes and a wee cup of tea or two!

Session times

Newborn baby photoshoots can be booked on weekends in either morning or afternoon slots.

Occasionally, I can accommodate for mid-week slots, so please get in touch to check availability.

When to book

It is best to get in touch with me as early as possible to book in time for your photoshoot. Newborn photo sessions are ideal for babies aged 5-12 days.

In these early stages of the newborn phase, your baby is most likely to be sleepy and less alert, which is perfect for capturing those calm dreamy moments.

Sessions are booked in provisionally working with the baby’s due date and once they are born your session date is confirmed.

Preparing for a newborn session

When you get in touch to book a session, I will talk you through all the details of what happens during your newborn photoshoot.

As this will take place in your home, I will ask you about natural lighting (windows) and rooms I can get access to, for example, your child’s nursery.

We will also talk about colours and fabrics as well as any props such as hats and headbands, shawls, or sentimental toys you would like to include.

All materials I use to wrap your baby are natural soft fabrics in neutral colours.

I’m always looking to expand my collection so let me know if you have any special requests and I can see if I am able to source these.

Documenting special moments

On the day please feed and change your baby to prepare for the shoot. You should also ensure your home is warm, around 23-degree Celsius is ideal so your baby is comfortable.

Solo pictures of your baby will be authentic with minimal posing. We will also spend time taking pictures of you interacting with your baby, again, just what comes naturally to you; cuddling, kissing, snoozing and playing, finishing with some family group shots.

Can siblings join?

Yes, absolutely, siblings can also join in, including the furry ones if you have any!

We can chat about this when planning for the shoot and I can talk you through everything you need to know to prepare.

What happens next

After the shoot, I will edit the photos and send you a gallery link to view these within two weeks.

We had a fantastic experience with Cecilia. She was warm and relaxed and allowed us to just be ourselves and as a result we have some incredibly beautiful photos of our family which we’ll treasure for years to come. I can’t recommend you enough!
