Newborn & Maternity Sessions
Capturing the beauty of pregnancy and the early days with your newborn
Newborn photography, for your growing family
Pregnancy and those first days with your newborn are moments that pass in the blink of an eye, but deserve to be remembered forever.
My maternity and newborn sessions are designed to capture these memories in a natural, timeless way. With a relaxed and personalised approach, we create a calm experience so you can focus on what matters most – your growing family.
I’d love to help you preserve this beautiful chapter of your story.
Your experience
From the moment I arrive, we follow your baby’s pace. We pause for feeds, cuddles and changes, keeping everything slow, gentle and completely relaxed. I’ll guide you when it’s helpful, but nothing is posed or pressured. We use the cosy corners of your home, a bed, sofa or nursery, wherever the light feels soft and natural. However the session unfolds, the focus is on connection, comfort and capturing those early moments exactly as they are.

Karen photographed our family when our son was born. She made us feel relaxed and took some really lovely photos of us as a family, particularly impressive when our baby spent most of the time crying! Would highly recommend.

FAQs
The best time for maternity photos is usually between 28–36 weeks, when your bump is beautifully rounded but you’re still feeling comfortable.
Newborn sessions are best scheduled within the first 5–14 days after birth. During this time, babies are often sleepier and more easily settled, which allows for those soft, curled-up images. However, don’t worry if your baby is older—beautiful photos can still be captured, focusing on natural, relaxed moments, cuddles, and all those little details that are just as special.
Yes, absolutely! Partners and siblings are very welcome, and I always encourage family images as part of your session. When you book, we can chat through who you’d like to be included so we can plan everything around you.
Yes, absolutely! Newborn sessions are always done in your home, keeping things relaxed and comfortable for you and your baby. Maternity sessions can take place either at home or outdoors in the Fareham area, depending on the look you’d like.
If you live over 15 miles outside Fareham, I can still come to you, an additional travel fee may apply. Feel free to get in touch and I’ll let you know the exact cost and options.
