Newborn Photography Edinburgh and Lothians

My Approach to Newborn Photography

Bringing a new life into the world is a deeply personal and emotional journey. My approach to newborn photography is all about capturing the raw, tender, and fleeting moments of these early days in a way that feels natural and effortless.

1. Relaxed and calm atmosphere

I believe that newborn sessions should be as relaxed as possible—no rigid posing, no pressure, just a calm, baby-led experience. I take my time, allowing for feeding, cuddles, and breaks so that everyone feels comfortable and at ease.

2. Natural Style

I focus on using soft, natural light and neutral, warm tones to create images that feel timeless and authentic. Instead of overly staged setups, I capture the simple beauty of your baby—tiny hands, sleepy yawns, and the way they fit perfectly in your arms.

3. In the Comfort of Your Home

Home is where your baby’s first memories are made, and that’s exactly where I love to capture them. There’s no need to travel—just relax in your own space while I document the love and connection between you and your little one.

4. Candid, Emotional Moments

While I offer gentle guidance, I encourage natural interactions—the way you instinctively hold, soothe, and gaze at your baby. The result? A collection of heartfelt images that tell the story of your growing family.

5. A Personalized Experience

Every family’s journey is unique, and I approach each session with that in mind. Before your shoot, we’ll chat about your vision, preferences, and any special details you’d love to include. My goal is to make sure your gallery feels like your story, beautifully told.

 FAQs

  • The ideal time for a newborn session is within the first two weeks after birth, as babies are sleepier and curl up naturally. However, I can capture beautiful moments at any stage—whether they’re a few days or a few months old.

  • Family and newborn sessions can be done at home for a cozy, intimate feel or outdoors at a scenic location in Edinburgh or the Lothians. I’ll help you choose a spot that suits your family’s style and comfort.

  • I recommend neutral, earthy tones and soft, textured fabrics for a timeless look. Avoid bold patterns or logos, as they can distract from the natural connection in your images. If you need help, I can provide styling guidance!

  • Newborn sessions typically last 1.5 to 2 hours to allow for feeding and cuddles, while family sessions are usually around an hour. My goal is to create a relaxed atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable.

  • Absolutely! I love capturing natural family interactions, and that includes siblings and even furry family members. I’ll create a relaxed environment where everyone feels comfortable.

  • Scottish weather can be unpredictable, but don’t worry! If it’s raining heavily, we can reschedule or move the session indoors for a cozy, intimate feel. Overcast skies actually create beautiful, soft lighting!
