Hopefully you’ve found me because you’re looking for something a little different…
You know you can’t let this new (incredibly fleeting) chapter go by without documenting it...
...but as you sit scrolling the usual newborn photos set ups?
All you see is a huge gap with what YOU want and what’s available.
Maybe you’ve seen a plethora of stark white backdrops...
Babies arranged in a variety of strange positions…
…or babies balancing in a watering can…
…and honestly?
It's just *not* your cup of tea.
-------
I totally get it.
When my babies were small* (*before my Photographer Era),
I thought that’s what I had to do too…
Until I (thankfully) discovered that there was another way.
Imagine this...
No props.
No poses.
No hot studios.
Just a natural, relaxed and entirely baby-led approach to capturing how this beautiful new addition has changed your family in the BEST possible way; all in the comfort and familiarity of your own home*
*Ridiculously perfect Pinterest home not required
These sessions are perfect for you if...
~ You crave a relaxed and baby-led approach to documenting this chapter.
~ You LOVE the candid, in-between moments that simply can’t be captured in the usual phone selfies.
~ You’re looking for photographs that actually tell the incredible story of your family, just as they are.
~ You know you want to celebrate your new baby and document this incredible new chapter, but the thought of packing up everything but the kitchen sink to attend a studio session is the last thing you want to do right now!
Don't just take my word for it...
Kind words...
We booked Claire to take some newborn family photos for us because we wanted some natural family photos at home so we could include our dog too.
As our first was born during Covid we didn’t get the opportunity to do this so were really keen to get some nice family photos to put up around our new home.
Claire was absolutely amazing, she was super relaxed and friendly.
She kept our three year old entertained whilst we were occupied with the baby, he took to her so well I’m surprised he didn’t offer to become her assistant!
The session was completely relaxed and she was led by us.
She didn’t make us take any shots we would have felt uncomfortable with.
We will definitely ask her to come back to take more photos of us as a family at a later date. She’s lovely to work with and we would highly recommend her.
Thank you so much x

Hey, I'm Claire
When I am not photographing other beautiful families, you’ll find me with these cheeky little pickles…
After having studio photographs of my first baby (including hours spent trying to get her to sleep, a studio the temperature of the sun and a subsequent poo explosion – her, not me 😉) as soon as I started to learn photography for myself, I knew I wanted to do things differently.
..where you could get stunning photographs of your beautiful little one...
WITHOUT requiring them to sport the ye olde’ 'froggy pose', or be sat in a watering can!
This is what I want for you.
What happens next...
01.
SEND ME A LOVE NOTE.
If you think we’re a perfect match (or even if you’re not quite sure yet), head over to my contact page and we’ll chat! (No hard sell, pinky promise).
I will make a note of when you are due and can pencil you in around that date. I do appreciate that babies have a mind of their own, so even if we schedule in a date we can bring this forward if your baby arrives early (and you are home and well) or can push this back if they are late or you need a little bit more time to settle in.
02.
BOOK YOUR SESSION.
We’re a match - YAY! Let’s make it official. Your session will be confirmed in my calendar as soon the £79 session fee is finalised.
03.
THE FUN PART.
Once we’ve got your date in the diary, we’ll chat about which details you’d love me to capture on the day. I’ll send you my super special Welcome Guide + some very helpful (but non-prescriptive) tips on what to wear - and will be on hand to answer any questions you might have.
04.
THE EXTRA FUN PART.
It’s session day! I’ll meet you at our agreed time at your home. We can pop the kettle on and take time for everyone to feel relaxed and comfortable and I can answer any last minute questions you might have. I’ll seamlessly guide you all through the session in a way that makes it feel like you do this every other week…& I’ll have my secret stash of ‘little person’ prompts on hand to keep things fun for any older siblings!
05.
THE BIG REVEAL.
I will send you a private link to view your gorgeous gallery, within 2 weeks of your session. You’ll have 2 days to give you plenty of time to gaze lovingly at your images and then choose which Image Collection which makes your heart the happiest.
