Your baby can be photographed either naturally in your home, in a studio setting, or outside - whatever you prefer. The whole family is welcome to join in, including grandparents and other extended family, if you’d like.
Leading Peterborough baby photographers
Spirit of womanhood
I call this photograph ‘spirit of womanhood’ because it shows both her strength and sensitivity. It looks like she’s been holding her new baby with one hand for miles, while guiding her little boy too. Her hair blowing in the wind shows the struggle and the excitement we all have in our lives, but you can tell the two children are in safe hands.
Newborn photographers Peterborough
I know this is a hectic time for you, so don’t worry, I’d like to think I’m one of the most chilled newborn photographers in Peterborough. Nothing is too much trouble. There are no time limits so if your baby is a bit grizzly or hungry we can wait it out, no problem. I’m also happy to do sessions within your own home too.
Autumn baby photos
As long as your baby is wrapped up warm outdoor Autumn baby photos are beautiful. Although I do a lot of studio based baby photography I also know some beautiful locations for outdoor baby photos around Peterborough. Every season has its advantages. Winter and Autumn has the best light because the sun is low all day and I know places where Autumn leaves lie thick on the ground until spring. Spring itself has bluebells and summer has wildflower meadows. So get in touch and I’ll reveal my secret locations for unique baby photos near Peterborough.
Baby photos in your home
Having your baby photos created in your home makes them more natural and makes the memories even stronger because they’re taken in the most meaningful place in the world - your home! You’ll also feel more relaxed and there’s plenty of space for the whole family to be involved.
Bluebell baby photography
Between mid-April and mid-May it’s bluebell baby photography season. Bluebell photography sessions are best when your baby is old enough to sit up without toddling over (usually around 6 months old).
Family photos in Autumn leaves
I love creating family photos in the Autumn leaves because the sun is low and golden all day and the colours enrich the photos. I know 2 amazing places near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire where it looks like Autumn right up until spring.
Baby with dog
I love dogs, so don’t forget your hairy baby when having your bald baby photographed!
Creative baby photography
Although I love natural baby photographs it’s nice to do some artistic and creative baby photography, too. Many of my sessions have a mix, but the most important thing is the comfort and safety of your baby. If a baby isn’t happy I will never force a photograph. As you can see, this baby is as relaxed as a panther up a tree.
Capturing the spirit of a child
When capturing the spirit of a child it’s crucial that they’re relaxed. They don’t have to be smiling but they need to trust the photographer if you want a natural expression that reveals the ‘real them’. I’ll often chat and mess around with children before I take any photographs because I want to build rapport with them so I will create the best possible photographs.
Baby photography in Peterborough
I specialise in creating baby photography in Peterborough. Babies don’t stay like this for long so I love creating images like this that make these fleeting moments last forever.
Baby with sibling
I’m always happy to include siblings within your baby photoshoot. Look how happy and proud big sister is here.
Baby photographers Stamford
I’m one of the only baby photographers near Stamford who offers a money-back guarantee. If you don’t love the photographs I create for you then I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure you do love them, or I’ll give you all your money back.
Well dressed baby
Choosing the right clothing is a huge part of baby photography. This well dressed baby has clothes that enhance the image, rather than detract from it. For example, the colours aren’t too bright and there are no distracting patterns. Also, the colour of the clothing complements the green leaves in the background. Imagine this baby was dressed in a red and black coat… the photograph wouldn’t look anywhere near as lovely. Tonal, and colour harmony are really important in portrait photography.
Baby photography with the family
You’re welcome to have your baby photography session with the rest of your family. If there are more than 3 people I tend to do the session at your home or outside where you’ll feel more comfortable.
Natural family photoshoot
I specialise in natural family photoshoots with natural expressions. When I ask my clients what sort of photography they like the word ‘natural’ is easily the most common. Don’t worry, I won’t just leave you to figure out how to act naturally! I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve to help you interact naturally for your family photos.
3 month baby pose
This is a typical pose for a 3 month old baby because they’re finally strong enough to lift their head. This is the age when you start to get those heart-melting natural smiles too (not just wind!).
Baby in Autumn leaves
The reason this baby is in so many Autumn leaves is because I know of an amazing secret location where they lay thick on the ground until spring. Get in touch and I’ll tell you all about it.

Autumn leaves baby photography
I know a wood with so many beech trees (the best trees for Autumn leaves) that I can do Autumn leaves baby photography right through from mid-October until spring. This is because there are so many leaves they lie thick on the floor for months, as you can see from this photograph.
Mother and daughter
I love this pose because it shows the baby’s smiling face as her mother nuzzles her soft cheeks with her nose. It’s a great pose for showing the connection between a mother and child.
Baby photoshoot Peterborough
Your baby will only look like this for around 2 weeks, so book your baby photoshoot before you’ve given birth. Admittedly babies don’t generally arriving exactly when they’re due… however, if I have you pencilled in then I’ll do whatever it takes to reschedule if your baby is early or late.
Newborn photography Peterborough
If you’re considering having some newborn photography created near Peterborough then I recommend having your session within 10 days of your baby’s birth. That’s when they’re at their tiniest and easiest to position. After that they become very wiggly and it’s almost better to wait until the 3 month stage when they’re smiling and lifting their heads up when you put them on their front.
Baby photography studio
In my baby photography studio I have lots of blankets and baskets and props etc. but often it’s these natural moments that are the most special.
Tiny baby hands
I don’t forget the little details, like your baby’s tiny little hands.
The most popular baby photography pose
This ‘over the shoulder’ angle is one of the most popular baby photography poses, particularly for newborns. Why? Because it’s the angle every parent sees for hour after hour. This angle holds so much emotion and connection, it’s impossible for a parent not to be moved by it.
