Smile! Happy Henry, smiling for his short photoshoot. Children's photography in Suffolk, Essex, Cambridge and London.

Henry came to visit me the other day, and was a little under the weather, but we still managed to achieve some beautiful smiles. Sometimes you don't need lots of props and distracting backgrounds, all you need is that cute little smile and those eyes all lit up!

A busy week photographing all the boys, Essex baby photographer, Suffolk baby photographer. Newborn photography.

This gorgeous family come from my home town of Sudbury, visited me in the studio, I had a run of boys this week, but this was the only big brother of the week, getting older siblings to help hold their new siblings is often quite tricky and you do have to gauge whether a child is old enough and responsible enough to have baby laying in their arms, I usually can get the trickiest customers to give me a beautiful smile and get the sibling photograph, parents are always on hand at the side of the shot just in case. Sometimes a composite shot is necessary if the brother or sister is toddler age and having a bit of an adverse reaction to having a new family member, safety must and always will be a priority.

 Some babies are more supple than others, and not only is the age of the baby taken into consideration during a newborn shoot, the older a newborn is, the more their bones start to harden. But also some babies naturally will curl into some positions better than others dependant on how they laid in the womb. When I position newborns I always take into account how they naturally bend and position and baby is never forced into a position that is not comfortable for them. I was so lucky to meet these beautiful boys, as you can see someone is very very proud of being the number one brother in the world!

As baby was born around Easter time, Mum asked for an Easter theme if possible to the shoot, so I decided plain and simple is best, sometimes babies can be lost in props and too many other bits and pieces, so I went for a simple potato sack pose, where baby is wrapped and a cute felted bunny hat. Mum's hands were photoshopped out of shot - he was never propped up by himself at any time, and he makes the cutest little bunny. I adore photographing little newborn babies, and rarely do I finish a session without capturing one of the best smiles in the world, a newborn smile! It may be wind, but it's a glimpse of the laughter and giggles set to come as they grow and become their own person, I truly am blessed to do this job, I often have people drive a good 2-3 hours from London, luckily Essex is only about an hour away, and the other side of Suffolk is an hour and a half. However I do travel to people for newborn shoots also. Parents often book at their 20 week scan to ensure they have a gap ready for when their new little family member arrives.

Beautiful lifestyle newborn photography - Essex.

This beautiful Colchester family booked in with me and I travelled to their home in Colchester to capture their precious little boys first newborn moments. I am lucky to be able to share this stunning family's beautiful session, as it something I do quite frequently lifestyle newborn work and documentary baby photography, but not something I always show.



I love being able to work with families and produce a set of images that capture their family in the way that is special to them, and feel my many years of being a professional photographer and vast experience helps me deliver exactly the clients brief. More importantly I love recording the depth of emotion that these new families are experiencing. Something to share with their child as they grow into an adult. To see more of my varied portfolio please click HERE!


Lifestyle photography is becoming a popular choice for newborn sessions and is a record of the first moments adjusting at home to this precious little person that you have grown for 9 months. Taken in the comfort of your home, it can also be combined with the more posed and formal images. I travel to locations across Suffolk, Essex and London for a small fee. 

Obviously there are a wealth of photographers across Essex, and Suffolk, and when looking to invest in your photography, it is worth looking through a photographers portfolio. Most photographers will take time to work with a family on the feel of the shoot, and ensure they create images that capture your family as it is.

Beautiful little newborn James - London newborn photography

I was delighted to meet baby James lovely family in London this week. He slept like a little superstar, and the only person that got tinkled on was his Aunty who clearly dotes on the gorgeous little new addition to the family.
