Meet Emma – the Photographer Behind Baby Bear Studios
When my granddaughter was born, I realised just how precious those first little moments are. I fell in love with capturing the tiny details, sleepy smiles and beautiful new beginnings that families want to remember forever.
What started as a passion quickly grew into Baby Bear Studios. I invested in my equipment, spent time learning and practising, and discovered just how much I love creating lasting memories for families.
How I Discovered My Passion for Newborn Photography
My photography journey began during the Covid lockdown in 2020, when I picked up my son’s old camera and decided to learn how to use it. I started by photographing the birds in my garden, and before long, I was completely hooked!
I took an online photography course, practised whenever I could and invested in my first camera upgrade just seven months later.
As my passion grew, I completed several further online courses, specialising in newborn photography and developing my skills in posing, lighting and newborn safety.
What began as a new hobby has grown into Baby Bear Studios, where I get to combine my love of photography with creating beautiful, lasting memories for families.
“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
My love of photography still extends beyond the studio. I enjoy spending time outdoors capturing wildlife and the beauty of nature, from tiny birds to majestic eagles and stunning sunrises.
When I discovered I was going to be a grandparent, I knew I wanted to learn everything I could about newborn photography. I invested time in learning safe posing, lighting and studio techniques so I could create beautiful images of my granddaughter. That experience helped inspire the work I do today at Baby Bear Studios.
Perfecting My Newborn Photography Craft
I’m always looking for ways to improve my skills and create beautiful, timeless photographs for the families who visit Baby Bear Studios.
From carefully choosing props and backdrops to refining my lighting and posing techniques, I pay attention to the little details that make each image special.
Most importantly, I want every family to feel that their baby is in safe, caring hands, and to leave with photographs they’ll treasure for years to come.
