CORNWALL NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

NATURAL & GENTLE IN-HOME NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY

capturing the early days

The messy and the magical.


Stepping into the sacred bubble, you’re entering a realm where every moment holds a paradox — the best, the hardest, the longest, the shortest, the most beautiful, messy, and magical days of your lives, all intertwined. It’s an experience unlike any other, and no amount of preparation can brace you for the whirlwind of emotions you’re about to experience. The early days pass by in a blur, each moment slipping through our fingers like grains of sand.

As a mother myself, I intimately understand the preciousness of these fleeting moments. It’s this deep understanding that fuels my unwavering passion to preserve them for you.

at home

Is where your story

begins.

Imagine the scene: Lighting your favourite candle, a curated playlist setting the mood, sipping a hot cup of coffee, your cosy home enveloped in soft light, echoing with the gentle hum of everyday life. It’s here, amidst the familiar comforts of your own space, that your newborn session unfolds, telling the intimate story of your family.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

For newborn sessions that are shot around 1-4 weeks post birth, it’s usual to book whilst you are still pregnant; anytime after your 20-week scan is perfect. If your baby has already been born, I can sometimes fit sessions at shorter notice so please do get in touch. These sessions can take place from birth to 12 months. 

I usually schedule your session for two weeks after your ‘due date,’ but this is flexible and can be adjusted. Birth and postpartum experiences vary for everyone. My sessions are super flexible, so once your baby is born, we can change the date if necessary.

I recommend neutral colours and keeping it comfy and laid back. Upon booking, you’ll receive a style guide, and I’m always on hand to help. But ultimately, choose outfits that reflect your personal style and make you feel amazing.

KIND WORDS

As soon as I saw her pictures, I knew I’d have to use her for my newborn shoot. As most of my pregnancy was in lockdown, I had no pictures of me or my partner whilst pregnant, so I jumped at this opportunity. They were beautiful, natural photos that I will treasure forever. As for the newborn, Mel came to our house and put us at ease. We now have the most amazing photographs of our little family. Mel is professional yet incredibly friendly. Her pictures speak for themselves. I am so happy I found you, Mel, and I cannot wait to see more pictures you capture of me and my family in the years to come.
