Do you provide outfits in newborn photography sessions?

Yes I do! I have a collection of beautiful custom made outfits, wraps and props which I know go photograph well and go with the fabrics and textures I use in my sessions. You don't need to buy anything, it is all included with your session.

Can my older child be in some of the photos?

Of course - I encourage older siblings to be included in the session, and a portion of each session is dedicated to family and sibling photos. These are the ones that will be most loved in years to come.

How long are your newborn sessions?

Newborn photoshoots can last 2-4 hours although I call it a day if we aren't getting anywhere after 3 hours. Sometimes it's just a fussy day for baby and we can reschedule if needed. 2 hours is the average though.

Where do you do your newborn sessions?

Most newborn photoshoots happen in the studio in Truro. It is cosy and I have all my props, wraps and tools right there. I also do home visits, which are beautiful and simple documentary style sessions which tell more of the story of your life with a newborn.

My approach to newborn photoshoots

I believe that bringing a baby into the world is an incredible experience and privilege, and I love capturing the emotions that come with a newborn with creative and organic, naturally posed images. Combing simplicity with subtle textures, tiny details, natural posing and soft natural light are how I create a gallery of images that you’ll fall in love with.

With 10 years experience, every one of my clients will tell you that your baby is in the safest of hands.

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

You can have your newborn photoshoot in my warm, welcoming studio in Truro, or in the comfort of your own home, if you want to document your memories in the place they’ll be made.

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!”

— Kylie Weir

“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.”

— Natalie White
