I love my ‘bump to baby’ sessions, capturing the journey into parenthood and getting to meet so many happy / expectant new parents.

I was delighted when I was asked to capture the maternity and newborn portraits for this lovely couple at their home in Hither Green. We had two  photography very relaxed photography sessions together and I’m thrilled with the results.

Here are a few of my favourites, it’s great to see the joy on Mum’s face with her new baby in her arms – just beautiful!

The ideal time for pregnancy portraits is between 32 – 36 weeks and newborn photography sessions are carried out within the first 14 days after your baby is born. I recommend booking as soon as possible after your 20 week scan to make sure there is availability around your due date. Once your little one arrives we will arrange a convenient time for me to return to your home for your newborn portrait session. As a rule I often do this after the first week to allow time to rest with your little one at home and also to allow for the belly button clip to fall off so that your baby is comfortable and can be photographed on his / her back.
