The best time to schedule your maternity session is in the 3rd trimester (around the 7th or 8th month of pregnancy), although everyone is different. Around this time the baby bump is nice and round. It's also worth keeping in mind that if you leave it too late, you may feel a little less up to having your photos taken. Things like swollen hands and feet are more likely and you could feel overly tired or just not your best self.

Newborn photography captures those special few days when your baby is brand new and sleeping most of the time. At this stage they are nice and floppy and easier to pose. After 2 weeks they are more alert and stronger so some poses may not be achieved or certain props can't be used, so it's best to book your session in before this time. If you would like the session to take place in your own home, a £60 additional charge will cover set up and travel time within a 8 mile radius.

This is my favourite age group to work with but also the hardest! Sessions are mainly about play and capturing moments in between, with lots of props and toys to keep them busy along the way. If you would like the session to take place in your own home, a £60 additional charge will cover set up and travel time within a 8 mile radius.

Choose your own special place for memories to treasure for a lifetime. The best time to capture the light just beautifully is in the 'golden hour' just after sunrise or before the sun sets.
