NEWBORN SESSIONS
AT-HOME NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY IN BROMLEY & LONDON
The first few weeks, gently captured — at home, posed and unhurried, on your baby's own time.
In-home newborn photography is a quiet art. Babies in this window — those first six weeks — sleep deeply, curl naturally, and let themselves be held in ways they never will again. The work is part patience, part instinct, part eighteen years of knowing exactly when a baby will settle and exactly when not to push.
I bring everything with me. Studio-quality lighting, organic wraps in soft neutrals, gowns, headbands, baskets, and the small props that turn a sleeping baby into a portrait you'll hang on a wall. Almost every family asks for the classic poses — wrapped, hands under chin, curled on a soft blanket — and after a thousand newborns, I do them safely, gently, and well.
Eighteen years in, I still take each baby into my hands the way I held my own. I remember every newborn I've photographed — it still moves me, every time.
Most sessions blend classical posed portraits with quieter, unposed moments. I've written more about how I think through that balance here →

-
Most families book in the second trimester. Newborn sessions take place in the first six weeks of life — and I only take a small number each month, so the earlier you reach out, the better.
-
Babies arrive in their own time, and the session moves with them. Your date is held flexibly around the actual birth, not the due date.
-
ITwo to three hours, in your home, at your baby's pace. Newborns set the tempo, not me. We pause for feeds, for cuddles, for settling — and we wait when waiting is what they need. I'd rather come slowly than push a timeline that doesn't belong to your baby.tem description
-
Yes — and I love it when they are. Older siblings meeting the baby for the first time, both parents in the frame, a quiet family dog on the bed. The session is about the newborn, but also about the small new family they've just joined. Everyone is welcome.
-
Yes. Eighteen years of newborn work means every pose is done with the baby's safety first — small adjustments, careful support, never pushing. If the baby doesn't settle into a pose, we don't do it. There's no pose worth a baby's discomfort.

Your private online gallery arrives within one week — and you'll have a sneak peek the same day or the next, while the feeling of the session is still fresh. Each image is hand-finished, in colour and black and white. You'll have a private link to view, download, and share.

WHAT FAMILIES SAY
"My son Callum was not the easiest newborn model, but Kate was incredible. So professional, so patient, so caring and sensitive — and we got some incredibly beautiful shots. The photos we have will be treasured for the rest of our lives."
— SIOBHAN C."What fantastic photographs we have of our little one at 11 days old. Kate came to our house with all the props — a challenge as we had a one-bed house. She was absolutely great with our son, like a baby whisperer, getting him into positions and off to sleep right on cue."
— GEMMA S."Kate did two of our daughter's newborn photoshoots. She's incredibly gentle — places babies in beautiful positions, but always lets the baby set the pace. We come back for family sessions too. Not just a talented photographer, but a wonderful person."
— TATJANA S.From £370
