Newborn Photography - The main reasons you should book
Welcoming a newborn into the world is one of life’s most magical experiences. As a mum of two myself those newborn moments are so special. As fleeting as those early days are, they’re filled with tender moments, sleepy smiles, and the softest cuddles — and there’s no better way to preserve them than through professional newborn photography. Here in Cheshire, we’re lucky to have a range of talented photographers who specialize in capturing these first precious memories.
Why Choose Newborn Photography?
Newborn photography goes beyond just taking pictures — it tells the story of a family’s beginning. These early days pass quickly, and the tiny details (the curl of their toes, the sleepy stretches, the peaceful expressions) are soon just memories. A professional photographer knows how to gently pose, light, and time the session to showcase your baby’s unique beauty while ensuring comfort and safety at all times. Having worked with newborns for over 12 years, its amazing how many tips and tricks I have learnt along the way often sharing these with the new parents I meet.
What to Expect From a Newborn Session in Cheshire
Cheshire boasts a number of experienced photographers who offer both studio and in-home sessions. Most newborn sessions take place within the first 5 to 16 days after birth — when babies are still very sleepy and easy to pose. Sessions typically last two to three hours, allowing plenty of time for feeding, cuddling, and settling.
Studios are often warm and calming, with props, blankets, and accessories provided to create timeless, styled portraits. Many photographers in Cheshire also offer lifestyle newborn photography — a more natural approach taken in your home, capturing authentic family interactions.
Finding the Right Photographer
When choosing a newborn photographer in Cheshire, it’s important to look for someone who is not only skilled in photography but also trained in newborn safety and handling. Browse portfolios to find a style you love whether you prefer classic, posed imagery or relaxed, candid shots.
Many local photographers offer packages that include digital images, prints, and albums. Here at my studio I offer all these options and also beautiful wall art to decorate your home. It’s also worth booking well in advance many professionals have full calendars and limited availability for newborn slots. I offer both Premium sessions which include all set ups, siblings and parents etc, and also shorter mini newborn sessions for clients who might want just a more cost effective option.
Preserving Memories for a Lifetime
Whether you’re based in Chester, Wilmslow, Warrington or anywhere in Cheshire, finding a trusted newborn photographer can help you freeze these early moments in time. With their expert eye and gentle touch, they create heirloom-quality images you’ll treasure forever.I often have clients travel as far as Manchester or Liverpool, with my newborn studio only being 30-40 mins from these locations.
I always advise booking in advance from as early as your 20 week scan. Advance booking is placed via due month proviosnally and we set the actual photo session date once your little one arrives. As a mum myself its so important to not set dates until both Mum and baby are discharged and doing well after the birth.
