Most maternity, newborn and baby photography sessions take place in my boutique home studio in Orpington, Kent, which is designed specifically for newborn, baby and family photography. The studio is warm, calm and fully equipped, allowing me to control lighting and create beautiful, timeless images in a relaxed environment.

I also offer lifestyle photography sessions at your home or outdoor locations across Kent and South East London, including parks, woodland and the lavender fields at Castle Farm. Families travel from Bromley, Sevenoaks and surrounding areas for both studio and location sessions.

Every stage of childhood is worth capturing, but some of the most popular times for photography sessions include:

• When baby is sitting independently

• First birthday sessions, often including a cake smash

Many families return regularly for milestone photography sessions, creating a beautiful record of their child growing up.
