Baby led newborn photography in Dorset

Hello and welcome to the beautiful world of newborn baby photography.

Your gorgeous little bundle won't be small for long, so you are in the right place to ensure that you will get a personalised, calm and relaxing photography session and the most stunning images that you will treasure for many years to come.

"Baby led" is probably a phrase that you have heard lots in the past years.

But have you heard about baby led newborn photography?
This simply means that your baby leads the session. I work with your baby to get the best natural photographs possible during your time with me. They are in charge, if they want cuddles or a feed that is what they get. I do not have a set workflow for sessions, every single baby is different and my 12 years of experience has taught me that to get the most beautiful natural photographs of your baby. I work with them, to their schedule.

Newborn photography sessions take place in my newborn photography studio in Poole, Dorset, when your baby is usually around around 7 days old.

The best time to book in is after your 20 week scan to secure your space. I will then keep some dates free for you around your due date and wait for you to get in touch once your little one has arrived so that we can arrange for you to come to the studio for your newborn photography session.

If your little one has already arrived, I may have some last minute availability so please do get in touch. Newborn photography sessions can take place up until your little one is 4 weeks old. After that we would book a baby photography session.

Baby Photography Studio in Poole

My lovely little photography studio in Poole, Dorset, is beautifully designed for babies from birth to their first birthday.
You will be sure of the warmest welcome when you arrive, you will be able to make yourselves at home whilst I make you a hot drink and we discuss which props, outfits and colours you would like to use.

Throughout your session please help yourself from my selection of plastic free snacks and luxury hot drinks.
You will be able to relax for a couple of hours whilst I take care of your brand new little bundle., capturing the most beautiful images which you will treasure for a lifetime.

To book in your newborn photography session, please request a booking pack and I will be in touch to send over the information that you need.

You simply choose a package suited to your budget and needs and then I keep some dates free for you around your due date.
When your baby has arrived we will book in a date together, which is usually around day 7, but it can be longer depending on how you both are recovering.

After your session, the photos will be available to view via an online gallery which means that you get to choose your most loved images in your own time with no pressure. Depending on the package you have chosen, you will either receive the photos by email within 7 days or your beautiful USB and prints box will be hand delivered (or posted if you are a little further away) to you within a few weeks.

"Samantha did an excellent job capturing amazing photographs of our baby girl. She was incredibly patient and professional especially when our baby was not the most cooperative at times! I couldn’t recommend Samantha enough and we will definitely be coming back again! Thank you again"

"We were recommended to Samantha by a friend to photograph our 11 day old daughter. She was so patient with her, settling her for each photograph & scene change. Samantha ran through what pictures we wanted, props & wraps to use. It was then up to baby as to which went first finishing up with the much loved naked shot! Highly recommend Samantha to capture your newborn in the cutest way! We have a selection of beautiful pictures to treasure and for a very reasonable price. We hope to book her again"
