Newborn Prices

My newborn packages start at £499 for a one hour session with ten digital images, and go up to £845 for a two hour session with every image and a short film.

There is nothing else to pay afterwards. The price you see is the price of the session and the images together — you are never asked to choose between them once you have seen the photographs.

The classic curled-up newborn photographs are easiest in the first two weeks, when babies still sleep deeply and settle into the poses they held in the womb.

Most parents book while still pregnant, around the seventh or eighth month, and we set a provisional date near the due date. Babies keep their own diary, so the date moves with them.

If those first days have already passed, nothing is lost — see what changes at six weeks.

Between one and two hours, depending on the package. The time is generous on purpose: newborn sessions run at the baby's pace, with pauses for feeding and settling. Nothing is rushed.

In my studio in Papworth Everard, near Cambridge — three rooms, heating kept warm for the baby, and parking at the door. There is more about the space in this piece about the studio.

Yes. Every package includes high resolution digital files — ten with Mini, forty with Classic, and every one of them with Total. They are yours to print, share and keep.

They are not raw files. Every photograph you receive has been edited by me, one at a time, in the same style you see across this site. That work is part of what you are paying for, not something extra.

Most Classic sessions produce more than forty photographs. When that happens you choose which forty: I put the whole gallery online, you look through it and pick, and I edit the ones you chose.

With Total, a newborn session usually comes to between seventy and eighty photographs. Nearer eighty when brothers and sisters are in the pictures, nearer seventy when it is the baby and their parents.

And if a session runs longer than that, you still get all of it. Total means every photograph I put in the gallery is yours — seventy to eighty is what to expect, not a limit.

Always, and it is included from the Classic package onwards. Brothers and sisters come first, while they are still curious and patient, and then we let them go and play.

A short film made from your session — photographs, movement and music together. It is included with Total, and you can watch some here.

Yes, and it is what I would suggest. The voucher included with Classic and Total is designed for exactly this: a maternity session before the birth and a newborn session after, as one story.
