Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most precious moments—and capturing those early days through professional newborn photography creates memories that last a lifetime. But one of the biggest questions new parents face is: When should I book my newborn session?
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.
When we first choose to do Maternity photoshoots, theres so many styles to choose from. By organising a studio Maternity closet you can provide your clients with that added service, and it also helps keep your images all within your set style. To keep costs to a minimum you may want to start with asking clients to bring underwear, you can purchase smaller items like crop tops, maternity bodysuits & light weight robes which you can get from normal online clothes suppliers. I use quite a few from Asos , Boo hoo and Zara.
So you're pregnant. A huge congratulations! if you’ve got the swollen feet and you can’t see your toes its probably a good time to start looking for a Newborn photographer. As newborn photography is increasing in popularity so are maternity sessions.
Morning sickness — it’s one of the most well-known early signs of pregnancy, but despite the name, it doesn’t just strike in the morning. For many mums-to-be, nausea can linger all day, especially in the first trimester. Thankfully, there are a few gentle, natural ways to help ease those queasy feelings so you can focus on enjoying your pregnancy journey.

I feel like a Maternity photograph not only captures the beautiful body, it embraces a real special moment in that time. For me when I look back at my professional bump photographs, I see not just a changing body, I see a person, a women who at that time was full of excitement and fear, someone who has no clue of the life changing event that was inevitably going to happen.
I believe with anything you choose to do in your life, if you're passionate about it, you will go far and do it well. I often say I never feel like I’m going to work, I really love my job. Newborns are my first love and I adore everything about these sessions, the styling, the new parent chats and of course the baby cuddles - And then I went and did the most AMAZING Maternity workshop with the one and only Natasha Ince….(Quite possibly the best Maternity photographer in the world)
