Love, laughter, &
all the little
in-betweens

My at home newborn and family photography sessions are available throughout Hampshire, including Southampton, Winchester, and New Forest all the way to London and beyond.

These sessions take place at home, where familiar surroundings allow everything to slow down. At Home sessions are available for newborn, family, maternity and motherhood photography.

There is something deeply comforting about being at home. The way the light falls through familiar windows, the quiet corners filled with everyday life, and the sense of ease that comes from being in your own space.

Choosing to opt for Newborn & Family Photography at Home  is about honouring those moments and capturing your family where you feel most yourselves, surrounded by the details that make this chapter uniquely yours.

These at home sessions are designed for families who want photographs that feel natural, unhurried and deeply personal.

At Home Newborn & Family Photography in Hampshire

Whether you are welcoming a newborn, celebrating motherhood, or simply wanting to remember this season as it is, home is often the perfect place to begin.

My Family Photography at Home sessions are slow and gentle, shaped around your rhythm rather than a schedule, allowing space to focus on connection, quiet moments, and the beauty found in everyday life. There is always time for feeding, settling, and pauses when needed.

With a little breathing room in your home, I can focus on what matters most, the way you hold your baby, the quiet in between moments, and the connection that lives in the everyday

If this feels like the right fit, I would love to hear from you.

Documenting the everyday connections you share. Cuddles on the sofa, little hands wrapped around yours, the way your children move through your space.

A beautiful way to remember the quiet anticipation before everything changes. Gentle, natural portraits that feel intimate and true to you.

Within the comfort of your own home, my at home newborn and family sessions take place across Hampshire, Dorset and the south coast. Using natural window light and the familiar spaces you live in every day, each session is gently guided around your home, your routine and the pace that best suits your family, creating space for calm, connection and beautifully natural moments.

Whether we’re gathered in the quiet of your living room, wrapped in window light, or moving slowly through the spaces you know best, I approach each at family at home session with ease, care and intention. I offer gentle guidance rather than rigid posing, allowing movement and connection to unfold naturally, with thoughtful editing that preserves the warmth and feeling of the moment.

Each gallery I deliver is crafted not just for now, but for the years ahead, for the day you forget the way your partner looked at you mid-laugh, or the way your child’s hand fit into yours.

When is the best time to book an at home photography session?

Frequently asked questions

For Newborn Photography, The ideal time is within the first two-three weeks after birth, but sessions can take place at any point during the newborn stage. Older babies are always welcome.

Maternity photography sessions are best scheduled between 28–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully defined but you’re still feeling comfortable. You’re welcome to book as soon as you feel ready.

For milestone or family photography, I recommend booking as soon as you start thinking about it, especially for weekend dates, which tend to fill up quickly.

Frequently asked questions

Motherhood and milestone sessions typically last around an hour. Newborn sessions are unhurried and usually last around two hours but can be longer. This allows time for feeding, settling, and natural moments to unfold without pressure. All Newborn sessions are fully baby-led, with time for feeding, settling and breaks as needed. There’s never any rushing, and I won’t be watching the clock if a little extra time is needed.

At home family sessions are around two hours, and extended family sessions between two to three hours depending on numbers and individual needs.

Frequently asked questions

That’s completely okay. I work with children all the time and I’m a mum to three children myself, two of whom have additional needs. I understand that every child is different, and there’s never any expectation for them to sit still or perform.

Children are free to move, play and be themselves. I’ll gently follow their lead, offering space when it’s needed and guidance when it helps. Some of the most meaningful moments come from simply letting things unfold naturally, just as they are.
