Newborn Photography in Surrey

The Newborn experience

My newborn sessions are very peaceful, baby-led and slow-paced with natural light.

With minimal posing and props (no babies in baskets here, please find somebody else if you want this style !), we will capture all the tiny details of your newborn, from soft yawns to tiny fingers and tell your story in the most beautiful & natural way.

It is highly recommended to have your newborn photoshoot in the first 2 weeks of life to get those sleepy curled-up poses. If you missed the window, or prefer to have them captured a bit older, I photograph newborns up to 12 weeks old. It just means we probably won’t get these sleeping poses, but more awake and eyes-opened photos, which are as beautiful.

Every newborn session is baby led. While inspiration is welcome, specific poses cannot be guaranteed as each baby has their own comfort level and flexibility.

What makes a newborn session with me different?

I take only a small number of newborn sessions each month. This means I can be genuinely flexible around your due date, give every family my full preparation and attention, and never rush a session to fit a schedule.

When to book a newborn photographer in Surrey?

It's best to book after your 12 weeks scan. We would pencil a date for 7-10 days after your due date. Then just let me know once baby is here and we can adjust the date.

Prefer baby to be older ? that’s great too, and we can book a date up to 12 weeks old for this newborn session.

What to expect during your newborn session ?

  • A beautiful peaceful experience, baby-led. Photos of baby with each parent, baby alone, baby with siblings, family all together. As many breaks as you need, for nappy change, feeding, cuddles.

  • Natural, minimal posing, no baby in basket, relaxing experience

  • More in my blog post here : What to expect during your newborn session with Claire

Where is your studio ?

My studio is in Warlingham, Surrey — just 10 to 15 minutes from Croydon, a few minutes from Caterham, and easily accessible from across Surrey and South London. There is parking on the driveway, a warm kettle waiting, and no traffic to navigate on the way home with a newborn in the back.

I also offer in-home newborn sessions for families who prefer to stay at home — bringing my equipment, my client wardrobe and my calm to your front door instead.

With over 100 five-star Google reviews from families across Surrey and South London, I am proud to say that the experience I offer is one families talk about long after the photographs arrive.

Not because it was perfect — but because it felt like exactly what it should feel like: quiet, warm, and entirely theirs.

Booking your Newborn session

You can enquire as soon as you had your 12 weeks scan. Early booking is highly recommended as I take only a few bookings per month to be flexible with newborn arrivals.

We will pencil a date 7 to 10 days after your due date. Then just let me know once baby is here and we will adjust the date. We can pencil the date later if you prefer too.

A deposit of £100 secures your space in my calendar.

I capture Newborns only on Wednesdays and Fridays morning.

Your Questions Answered

  • It's best to book after your 12 weeks scan. We would pencil a date for 7-10 days after your due date. Then just let me know once baby is here and we can adjust the date.

    Prefer baby to be older ? that’s great too, and we can book a date up to 12 weeks old for this newborn session.

  • I always recommend to have the session in the first 2 weeks of life, if you want those sleepy poses.

    You can book a newborn session up to 12 weeks after the birth.

    Older newborns might not be as settled and they will probably be awake during the session, which gives us lovely photos too with opened-eyes.

  • Of course, always in all my sessions. For newborn session, I do need the parents to hold baby in their arms most of the session (there will be only a few poses with baby alone on bean bag).

  • My in-home studio is located in Warlingham, Surrey.

    You can park in the driveway so there is no stress about parking !

  • My usual turnaround is 2-3 weeks to deliver a gallery.

    You will receive an email with a link to your gallery. You will have 7 days to download your favourites or upgrade for more

  • It's better to reschedule then. Nobody wants to do a shoot with a fever or runny nose! We can reschedule once without additional fees.

  • I don’t at the moment, but highly recommend you book it with someone before your session :)

  • Yes I do. I believe that your gorgeous photos shouldn’t just stay on your laptop or phone, but truly deserved a place on your wall.

    I have a simple choice of products available to you, from frame to albums with some very original other products too.

    I can show you some samples after your session, and I have a Product Guide you will receive.

  • I will send you a Styling guide prior to the session with tips on what to wear or what to avoid.

    My Client's wardrobe is at your disposal too.

    My style is very neutral, earthy & white tones, which makes your photos timeless.

  • Sorry furry friends are not allowed in the studio.

  • Toddlers between 2-3 yo are the trickiest to capture because they develop their emotions at this age.

    I usually recommend to bring someone to help during the shoot, like grand-ma or somebody they are comfortable with. This way, they are entertained between shots and parents are more relaxed.

  • Once you receive your gallery’s link, you will have 7 days to download your favourites.

    If you don’t upgrade, your gallery will shutdown after the 7 days. You can reopen it for an extra fee.

    If you upgrade, then your gallery will be opened for 3 months. After that, it will shutdown forever. Make sure to save your images on at least 2 devices.

    If you would prefer for peace of mine, I can keep your gallery opened for 1 year at an extra cost, just ask me.
