Pregnancy photo shoots
Whether it’s your first pregnancy or your fourth – celebrate!
Unless you are having twins, or more, plan your shoot around week 34, sooner if you are expecting twins. Your photo shoot will take place at our comfortable home studio in Wheathampstead – just a short drive from Rickmansworth.
You may wear as much or as little clothing as you like. As this may be the first time you have posed nude or semi nude, rest assured your photographs will be taken as discreetly as possible. We have a selection of fabric to drape and flatter your shape and suggest avoiding tight underwear on the day of the shoot. Children, husband, partner, or just your self, the choice is yours.
The shoot itself can take one to one and a half hours.
Newborn photo shoots
We offer a personal one to one session with you and your baby at our comfortable home studio.
We have everything that you need, to allow you to relax while we capture you and your baby. We can take photographs of your baby before a feed, when they are contented after a feed and asleep. This takes time and we will give you that time during your shoot. There is no rush. The most important part of your shoot is that you feel relaxed, if you are, more often than not your baby will be too.
The best time to capture your newborn baby is in the first couple of weeks from birth. This will be different for babies that are premature so it’s best to have a chat to discuss your shoot while you are still pregnant. We are happy to pencil in a date for your newborn shoot based on your due date, which of course can be changed if needed. We know little ones arrive when they choose so can be flexible with your shoot date.
The shoot itself can take around two hours depending on feeding.
What to Expect from Your Newborn Photography Session
Newborns change quickly, so we recommend photographing your baby within the first 5–14 days after birth – when they are still sleepy, curled-up, and easily posed.
During Your Session:
Sessions last up to 2 hours to allow time for feeding, cuddling and settling
We capture your baby awake and asleep using gentle, baby-safe poses
Our studio is fully equipped with soft wraps, props, and blankets
You’ll have time to relax while we work with your little one
No rush, no pressure – just a calm and soothing experience
Our studio in Wheathampstead is easily accessible from St Albans, Harpenden, Welwyn, Hatfield, Hitchin, and across Hertfordshire.
