Bespoke Newborn Photoshoot

Leeds Newborn Photography



 -  Studio Portrait Photographer of the Year, 2021, British Institute of Professional Photography, Yorkshire Region -

There are some things that only happen once. 

The first few days of parenthood can disappear in a haze of delight, amazement and exhaustion and before you know it your little one is reaching milestones while you are still trying to catch your breath. Bring your newborn baby to me to capture this special moment - you are in safe hands. I am a fully qualified photographer working with babies and families here in Yorkshire for over 10 years: I am also a mum of 3, so I know how quickly it passes, and how little details can be forgotten. 

If you looking for some beautiful newborn photography in Leeds, I am here to help. 
A warm welcome awaits you in my purpose built studio in the lovely village of Boston Spa. 

Get in touch while you are pregnant to find out more and I can pencil you into my diary. A newborn photoshoot is perfect from birth to around 3 weeks, while your baby is brand new, still a bit wrinkly and not quite yet uncurled.

However, if your baby has already been born, all is not lost! Give me a call on 07762 111 818 and I will do my best to accommodate you.

To get a feel for what it's like at a newborn photoshoot, take a look at this video of a recent session at my Boston Spa studio.

What does it cost? 

For newborn photoshoots, I take a session fee of £75 when your booking is made.

This is for my time on the day, use of studio and any of my props and the professional post production of your images.

It does not include any products or digital images.

Once this is paid, you and your newborn are confirmed in my diary!


I only take a limited number of newborn bookings each month to make sure we have plenty of shuffling room as babies tend to have their own ideas about when they will make their way into the world.


After your shoot, we will meet to look through your images together which is a very exciting part of the process.

I can come to your home, or you are welcome to come back to my studio.

Only then do you need to choose between one of the collections below, and/or  beautiful wall art or albums.

There is no obligation or minimum order, and definitely no high pressure sales!
