I’m Emma, Your Newborn, Maternity, Sitter and Cake Smash Photographer
Once my granddaughter was born, I realised how much I loved capturing those precious moments. I started acquiring more equipment, doing model calls for practice, and quickly became dedicated to perfecting my skills.

How I Discovered My Passion for Newborn Photography
My journey into photography began during the Covid lockdown of 2020. With extra time on my hands, I found my son’s old camera and decided to learn how to use it, taking an online photography course. At first, I started with simple shots—taking pictures of the birds in the garden—and soon discovered how much I loved it. To improve, I practiced consistently, and seven months later, I invested in my first camera upgrade. That’s when my passion for photography really took off.
“Emma was so patient with our newborn and we were so impressed with how she took such good care of her throughout the shoot. She went above and beyond to make sure the experience was worth our while and the final pictures were absolutely stunning. Would recommend Emma to anyone looking for a baby/newborn photographer.”

A JOURNEY OF WONDER AND LEARNING
From Nature Photography to Newborn Photography
Spending time outdoors, capturing the beauty of nature, from tiny mice to majestic eagles and stunning sunrises, amazed me. Two years later, when I found out I was going to be a grandparent, I thought it would be wonderful to do my granddaughter’s newborn photoshoot. I took a dive into learning studio photography techniques, focusing on lighting, camera settings, props, and backdrops. I completed various online courses to master newborn posing and safety.

Perfecting My Newborn Photography Craft
Once my granddaughter was born, I realized how much I loved capturing those precious moments. I started acquiring more equipment, doing model calls for practice, and quickly became dedicated to perfecting my skills. I now feel like working with babies is my true calling, and there’s nothing better than seeing the joy on parents’ faces when they view their gallery for the first time.
