A newborn photo shoot at home in West London

Ah what a pleasure to photograph this little fella! He surprised his first time mum and dad with an early arrival, four weeks before his due date. Despite being so super new and tiny, he was full of beans during our newborn shoot at their family home in West London. An absolutely adorable session.

Taking newborn photos at home ads such a lovely personal touch to your photos, and will always remind you of this special time in your lives. It also means you have everything there that you need, and makes for a nice relaxed session.

I allow up to 2 hours for my newborn shoots, so there’s plenty of time for breaks when you or the baby need them. People sometimes get a bit nervous about having photos taken at their home just after having a baby, as things can be a bit chaotic. Don’t worry at all, we can easily clear a corner and find good spots for photos - I’m used to it - and I’m definitely not judging! The best thing you can do is relax and enjoy the session and let me take care of the rest.
