Natural, organic photography for dreamers who wish upon stars
 
 

Newborn Photographer | Cornwall

 
 
 

The newborn phase is such a fleeting and special time. Everything is new, tender and raw. It’s hormones, emotions, pain and tiredness. It hurts, and it’s exquisite.

Exquisite:
Extremely beautiful and delicate;
Intensely felt.
— Oxford dictionary

Why is it important to have newborn photos done?

By 3 weeks old your baby will have changed a lot - before you know it, your tiny curled up newborn will be growing out of clothes they drowned in not long ago. Not only are they changing a lot during this time - so are you. In fact, those early bleary-eyed days will feel like a dream soon, and believe it or not you will forget the most awesome, scary, intense time of your life.

With pictures, some of the most precious memories can be preserved - the exquisite beginning of your baby’s life, and how unbelievable tiny they were.

My name is Michelle and a newborn photographer based in Grampound, Cornwall. I’m here to help you capture the emotions of the first precious weeks with your newborn baby - beautifully, honestly and with the reverence it deserves.

For sleepy curled up pictures, newborn photoshoots ideally happen within 2 weeks after birth. If older siblings are going to be included, I recommend within the first 7 days if possible.

Advance booking highly recommended to avoid disappointment and longer wait times for images.

My approach to newborn photography

Because I see my job as translating the emotions of this time into images that evoke those memories , I love keeping the style for newborn sessions soft, organic and neutral. Light, earthy colours and natural textures convey the beauty & innocence of tiny babies. I work with natural light so I can immerse in the moment without any distractions. I keep a collection of soft fabrics, blankets & handmade baby outfits for that simple, beautiful style.

Simplicity is key to getting newborn photos that will make you fall in love again and again.

Simplicity is mistaken as unsophisticated when often the opposite is true. Simplicity can hide all the paths not taken.

1.

Book the session

A £50 secures your slot. Newborn sessions are pencilled in for 6-10 days after your due date & can be rescheduled if baby arrives early or late.

Due to the limited number of photo bookings I take on each month it’s worth reserving your space in my diary well in advance.

2.

Prep & Shoot

Your pre-session consultation will cover goals & styling etc. Written prep guides will be available too.

Day of the session - your time to let go and enjoy the moments that unfold with gentle guidance.

You don’t have to worry about a thing - I’ve got you.

3.

View & Order

Images are hand edited & lightly retouched, carefully curated into a final gallery to choose from at your viewing & ordering session.

This is the time to purchase packages, prints, albums and wall art.

What clients are saying about their newborn photoshoots in cornwall…

We had a newborn shoot with Michelle and found the whole experience very relaxed and professional. My 10 day old arrived unsettled and demanding to be fed, which didn’t phase Michelle at all - I had plenty of unrushed time to feed my daughter while she amused my son! She managed to get some great family shots as well as the newborn images, despite my 4 year old (and my husband!) being less than keen on having their photo taken usually.

The finished photos were amazing (I was meant to select a small digital bundle but ended up getting the package with them all included as I was unable to choose!) I would definitely recommend!

Aw we absolutely love them. Thank you ever so much for being so patient on the day and taking the time to get the perfect shots. It was so appreciated.
