Surrey Quays Newborn Photo Session | London Family Photography
Natural Photography Newborn Portraits
My work as a family photographer gives me some wonderful opportunities to meet different kids of families - families with dogs, families with young children, those with older children and teenagers or extended families. On this occasion, my work took me to Surrey Quays in London to photograph a family with a newborn.
Newborn Sessions
I really enjoy photographing newborn babies, it is such a special time in any family’s life and passes by so quickly. Capturing moments from this stage ensures that this time is treasured in years to come. Although cozy and sweet, these sessions can be slightly unpredictable as one never knows what a newborn baby will be like on the day - sleepy, alert or unsettled. I was really pleased that the baby was very chilled, full of wonder and loving all the cuddles and kisses it was getting from mum & dad. We started the shoot in the bedroom, a large window allowing lots of natural light to come through, flooding the room with beautiful soft light. The family snuggled up on the bed which set the scene for natural candid moments I captured with my trusty Canon R5. After a busy morning, the newborn baby was getting a bit tired so it was the perfect time for some milk and a short nap.
Indoor Family Photo Session
The family had received a photography gift voucher from their friends, to mark the birth of their baby daughter. After discussing possible locations, we settled on meeting at their flat in Surrey Quays, which felt appropriate for the time of year (it was early spring and still a bit chilly) and the age of the baby. It is nice to get some cozy shots inside the house when the baby is in that newborn stage. Indoor photo sessions also give me a challenge - to find new and interesting ways of photographing a family in the confines of their home.
After a very short nap, it was time for some more food. I took this opportunity to take a few quiet images of the baby feeding. After she was finished and when she settled back to sleep, I photographed those tiny toes and tiny fingers before leaving the family in peace and making my way back home.

Newborn Photo Session in the Surrey Hills | Surrey Family Photographer
A Relaxing Outdoor Newborn Photo Session
This newborn photo session took place entirely at an outside location. We arranged to meet in the beautiful Surrey Hills, in an area covered with pine forest. My clients and I spent a wonderful morning taking photographs in a gorgeous spot which looked more like the Pacific North West coast of Canada than Surrey. It was an overcast day which provided beautiful even lighting.
Outdoor Family Photography
It is so rewarding photographing families with their new family additions. I love hearing about members of the family getting to know the baby. It is great to hear (and remember!) all those routines and early stages. But most of all, it gives me great joy and satisfaction knowing I am capturing those magical early moments, so often missed or unappreciated due to demands of looking after a tiny baby.
Natural Baby Portraits
I work with natural light to capture portraits of your newborn baby, but also their little features, their tiny noses, eyes, little fingers and tiny toes. I also put quite a lot of emphasis on photographing you with your baby, documenting the spacial bond developing between parents, siblings and grandparents with the little one.

Surrey Newborn Photographer / Newborn Photoshoot in Epsom
I have had a really nice variety of work this summer. Family photography sessions, pet photography, christnening photography and quite a few newborn sessions in London and Surrey.
Natural Newborn Photography
My approach when photographing newborn babies is to allow plenty of time for photography and to keep things as relaxed as possible for both the parents and the baby. I give gentle direction when it comes to posing, mainly to position clients where the good light is, where to stand, look or hold their hands. Over the years, I found that this level of direction-giving produces more natural and candid looking photographs. I am able to capture a special look, a little touch, a private moment whilst maintaining natural looking body language which fits the mood of the photograph.
Surrey Newborn Photoshoot
Photos below are from a recent newborn photoshoot in Epsom, Surrey. This was one of my favourite recent newborn photoshoots, as the baby was awake and alert for most of the time, it was engaged and it made the cutest little sounds when swaddled! I also enjoyed experimenting with family poses a bit more which produced some lovely shots of the new family. Finally, this photo session was for return clients of mine - I did a couples photo session, and a post wedding photo session for Paulina and Chris before, so it was great to catch up and see their family grow.
Surrey and London Newborn Photographer
As a newborn photographer, I work across Surrey and London photographing babies and their families. Often this is to mark the arrival of the first or the second baby into the family, but occasionally my clients want me to photograph the extended family meeting the new arrival. If you or your partner are expecting a baby, and are thinking of documenting this special time in your life with a set of beautiful, fine art newborn photographs, please contact me to discuss your ideas. I would be dlighted to capture this special time for you!
