Not every family wants their baby’s face online, and I completely respect that.

My job is never about building my portfolio, it is about giving you photographs that feel honest and full of heart.

When I visited Delilah’s family in Loughborough, she was exactly 2 weeks old. We spent about an hour together, which was plenty of time to capture the little details that make this stage so fleeting. Tiny toes curled in a blanket, her fingers wrapped around mum’s hand, the soft whisps of newborn hair catching the light… the kind of photographs that bring you right back to those early days, even years later.

For a session like this, I deliver a full gallery (in this case, over 80 images) even if I only share a handful online. Parents get everything: the wide shots of cuddles on the sofa, the quiet moments in the nursery, and all the in-between details that often become the most treasured.

Sessions like Delilah’s are a reminder that newborn photography does not need to be posed or perfect. It can be relaxed, natural, and focused on the things that matter most; the love, the atmosphere, and the tiny details that are so easy to forget.
