At-home Newborn & Baby Photography in Surrey
​As a newborn photographer based in the beautiful town of Godalming, Surrey, I’m passionate about capturing the fleeting, precious moments of your baby’s first days. While studio photoshoots are a popular option, I firmly believe that an in-home newborn photoshoot offers a range of benefits that can make the experience more comfortable, personal, and memorable for both you and your newborn.​
​
Newborns are at their most relaxed in environments they know best — their home. At this stage, your baby is adjusting to life outside the womb, and familiar surroundings can have a calming effect. During an at-home photoshoot, your baby can stay in their own space, surrounded by their own scents, sounds, and routines. This often makes for a smoother, more relaxed session.
​
One of the biggest advantages of having a newborn photoshoot at home is the opportunity to incorporate meaningful personal touches. Whether it’s the nursery you’ve lovingly prepared for your little one, a family heirloom, or the soft glow of morning light filtering through your living room windows, these details help tell your family’s unique story.
​
Your home can provide a natural backdrop that’s as unique as your family. It’s a space where memories are made, and the photographs will reflect that. From your baby's first nursery to your cozy family living room, every corner of your home offers potential for a beautiful, heartfelt shot. The natural light in your home can create soft, glowing portraits that are both timeless and authentic.
If you have large windows or doors that let in plenty of daylight, these can provide a beautiful, flattering light source for your newborn photoshoot. In addition, being at home means there’s no rush to “make do” with artificial lighting — we can take our time to find the best spots and ensure that your baby’s photos truly shine.

Less Stress for Parents (and Baby!)
Traveling with a newborn can be daunting, especially in the early weeks when you’re adjusting to life with a baby. A home-based photoshoot eliminates the stress of packing up, traveling, and navigating an unfamiliar studio. Everything you need is right there — from the baby’s favourite blanket to any props or special items you want included in the session.
A home photoshoot allows you to be in a familiar, quiet space, reducing stress for both you and your baby. Plus, if you need a moment to relax, grab a snack, or take a break, you’re free to do so without the pressure of a set time limit.
​
I love documenting the quiet, intimate moments between parents and their newborns, whether it’s a first cuddle or a tender gaze. These are the moments that reflect the true essence of your growing family.
Having the photoshoot at home allows for a more organic, relaxed vibe, and I can photograph you interacting naturally with your newborn, rather than posed shots in a studio setting. These images often feel more personal and intimate, providing you with timeless memories of your baby’s early days.
​
This is also ideal for including other family members, such as siblings or pets, in the shoot. Whether your older children want to join in or you’d like to include your beloved dog, an at-home shoot allows for a relaxed, casual environment where everyone can participate comfortably.

An Experience You’ll Remember Forever
More than just photographs, a newborn photoshoot is an experience. It’s a chance to pause, take in the beauty of your baby’s first days, and celebrate your new family dynamic. Being at home allows you to do just that in the comfort of your own space. With no travel time or outside distractions, you can truly soak in the experience and focus on the joy of being together.
You’ll have the added benefit of looking back at these photos in the years to come, remembering the atmosphere and emotions of your baby’s first days in the home that will forever hold those memories.
