Photoshoot Information – What to Expect at Your Session

Choosing a photographer is about more than just beautiful images — it’s about feeling confident, relaxed and knowing you are in experienced hands.

All photography sessions take place at my boutique studio in Orpington, Kent, where I welcome families from Bromley, Sevenoaks, Chislehurst, Beckenham and across South East London. Many of my clients travel from further afield for a calm, professional and fully guided photography experience.

With over 30 years of professional photography experience and thousands of families photographed, I am one of the most established maternity, newborn and family photographers in the area. From your first enquiry through to your viewing appointment, I will guide you every step of the way — from what to wear, to styling, posing and selecting your final images.

Your ideas are always welcome, and together we will create something truly special and personal to you.

All fees are payable when booking your shoot. Newborn shoots are transferable – so you could bring your baby for a shoot when s/he is a little older and the balance could go towards your print order.

Fees include my time, my specialist skills, post production work and an ordering appointment. I am available throughout the process to help and advise you – not only with your shoot but also with your selection of images.

Maternity Photography Sessions in Orpington, Kent

Maternity photography is a beautiful way to celebrate your pregnancy and capture the connection between you and your baby before they arrive.

Sessions usually take place between 28–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully visible but you are still comfortable enough to enjoy the experience.

At my boutique studio in Orpington, Kent, I create elegant and timeless maternity portraits using flattering posing, carefully chosen clothing and fabrics and a range of lighting styles. From soft, natural lighting for classic and delicate images, to more dramatic lighting and striking silhouettes that highlight the shape of your bump, each session is thoughtfully styled to suit you.

You don’t need to worry about how to pose — I will gently guide you throughout, ensuring you feel relaxed, confident and beautifully captured in every image.

Newborn Sessions In Orpington Kent

Newborn photography sessions are a truly special way to capture your baby in those first precious days, while they are still tiny, sleepy and beautifully curled.

The ideal time for a newborn photoshoot is between 7–14 days old, and sessions take place in my warm, fully equipped newborn photography studio in Orpington, Kent. I regularly welcome families from Bromley, Sevenoaks and across South East London.

With over 30 years of professional photography experience and having photographed thousands of babies, I am one of the most established newborn photographers in the area. Your baby’s safety and comfort are always my top priority, and I take a calm, gentle and baby-led approach throughout.

Using soft, natural posing, carefully selected curated fabrics and props  and a range of lighting styles — from light and airy to more artistic and softly dramatic — I create timeless newborn portraits that keep the focus on your baby.

Sessions are relaxed and unhurried, typically lasting 2–4 hours, allowing plenty of time for feeding, cuddling and settling.

Many families choose me for my calm approach and years of experience handling and safely posing newborn babies.

These sessions should be booked as early as possible after your 20 week scan which will ensure your booking and assist me in managing the diary. If however your baby is due fairly soon or already born feel free to call me as I may be able to fit you in. Generally these shoots take place in the first 14 days while the babies are all curled up, sleepy and partners are on paternity leave. I tend to do older children, families and maternity shoots on weekends as they are shorter than newborn shoots and I do multiple shoots in a day but with newborns I like to keep things flexible so these are done during the week. I tend to book up far in advance it can be best to avoid disappointment it is best to book as early as possible.

I also photograph older children, extended families, and large multi-family groups, perfect for birthdays, anniversaries or special celebrations. Whether your session is playful, calm, small or large, I create a relaxed, child- and family-friendly environment where everyone can be themselves while I capture genuine connections.

Cake Smash & First Birthday Photography Sessions in Orpington, Kent

Your baby’s first year is full of incredible milestones, and a cake smash photoshoot is a fun and memorable way to celebrate their first birthday.

At my boutique photography studio in Orpington, Kent, I create relaxed and enjoyable cake smash and milestone sessions for families from Bromley, Sevenoaks and across South East London.

With over 30 years of experience photographing babies and young children, I understand how to keep sessions fun, flexible and stress-free. Some little ones dive straight into the cake, while others prefer to explore more gently — and that’s all part of the experience.

Sessions are designed to include a mix of portraits before the cake smash, the cake itself, and often a clean-up or splash session afterwards, creating a beautiful variety of images.

My style is simple and timeless, keeping the focus on your baby while capturing their personality, expressions and those wonderfully messy moments.

These sessions are a joyful way to celebrate your child’s first birthday and create lasting memories you will treasure for years to come.

Cake smash sessions are just one part of milestone photography. I also photograph older babies and children to celebrate birthdays beyond the first year, as well as seasonal sessions such as Christmas photoshoots and other special occasions. Many families return year after year to capture how their children grow and change, creating a beautiful collection of images that document each stage of childhood.
