Maternity & Newborn Photographer in Caterham & Surrey

In your home, in your own time.

I photograph maternity and newborn the lifestyle way. No props, no posed wraps, no studio. Just your family and your new arrival, in your own home, photographed the way the days feel: soft light, slow mornings, tiny fingers curled around yours.

A maternity session is while you are still pregnant. Most people come to me somewhere between 28 and 36 weeks, when the bump is properly there and you can still walk across a field without regretting it. You do not have to be expecting your first, and you do not have to come alone: partners and older children are welcome, and the photographs are usually better for having them in. Expecting twins, or been told to take it easy? Say so when we chat and we will go earlier and stay closer to home.

A newborn session is once the baby has arrived, at home, usually in the first few weeks while they are still curled up and sleepy. There is no deadline, though. Three weeks old and three months old both photograph beautifully. We keep the date loose, because babies do not book dates, and on the day we work around feeds, naps and cuddles. You barely notice the camera; you just get to be together while I catch it.

Bump to Baby is both, booked together for £549 rather than £648. Same two sessions, one conversation, and the newborn date stays open until they turn up.

Maternity doesn't have to happen indoors. If you fancy fresh air, we can take your session out into the Surrey hills; the valleys around Caterham are on our doorstep and the evening light out there is worth the walk. Same price, same unhurried pace.

Wondering when to book, or what the day looks like from the inside? I've written about the newborn days here.
