CHELSEA NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

 

Natural, timeless and unposed photographs with an editorial feel, telling the next chapter of your family’s unique story.

welcome

I’M LISA

I am a newborn photographer based in Chelsea, London. I am passionate about creating emotive, timeless and light-filled newborn photographs that you will love.

As a mother to two young children myself, I understand all too well how fleeting time with our little loves is. Working across Kensington & Chelsea in West London and beyond, I aim to preserve those early moments with your littlest love in beautiful, natural images that you can look back on for years to come.

​I’m so happy you are here and would be honoured to meet your family.

my PORTFOLIO

LIFESTYLE CHELSEA NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY

As a Chelsea newborn photographer who loves the simplicity of lifestyle images, I am all about creating warm, unposed photographs of growing families.

I don’t use any props or force any poses, because I believe in organically documenting how you interact naturally with your baby. Your tiny baby is most comfortable and safe in your arms.

Taking a lifestyle approach to newborn photography, we can capture beautiful images whether your little one is only a few days or already a few months old. They don’t have to be asleep and there is no pressure to take photos in the first 14 days.

I work using natural light only, resulting in soft, authentic and emotive photographs.

CREATING TIMELESS RECORDS

The early days and weeks are often hazy, but so full of love and joy. I want to create timeless records of these moments for you and capture the incredible connection between you and your baby.

As a Chelsea newborn photographer, it is my job not only to tell your story through beautiful images, but also to ensure you have a relaxing and calm experience. My lifestyle newborn sessions are always tailored to your baby’s needs, taking as many breaks as necessary for feeding, nappy changing or comforting.

Ahead of our Chelsea newborn photography session together, I provide a complimentary styling consultation to support with picking your outfits, and am always on hand to answer any questions you might have. 

In addition to sharing beautiful photos, my goal is also to provide you with a smooth and memorable experience.

 

NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME

As a Chelsea newborn photographer, I love taking authentic images of your newborn baby at home – after all, this is where you spend most of your time together and where baby is most comfortable and safest. At your home, you have everything you need to feed, change and comfort your newborn instead of having to pack everything up to move to a studio.

If you would like to head outside, and perhaps your baby is already a little bit older, then we can also explore one of London’s beautiful parks to take outdoors newborn photos. I have lived in Kensington & Chelsea for 17 years and am very familiar with its beautiful parks and charming little streets to provide the perfect backdrop for your newborn baby photos.

YOUR NEWBORN & BABY PHOTOGRAPHY QUESTIONS

when is the best time for newborn photography?

I specialise in lifestyle photography, meaning I don’t pose newbowns or require them to be asleep to take beautiful images. My sessions are very relaxed and there is no pressure to have images taken in the first 14 days. Even if your baby is a few weeks or months old by the time you are feeling up for photos, we will capture some magical photos together. Head to my blog to find out more about different ages for newborn and baby photos.

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY chelsea NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION?

I recommend reaching out when you are in your third trimester to ensure I have availability in the weeks around your due date. Once your little love has arrived we can then decide what timing suits your family best. If your baby has already arrived, simply reach out to me and we can find the best date to take photos together.  

What shall i wear for my Chelsea newborn photoshoot?

It’ s most important to feel yourself and for your clothing to reflect who you are. I offer a complimentary styling consultation ahead of our newborn photography session and we can discuss ideas. I generally suggest neutral tones (ivory, beige, greys, pastels etc.) and ideally no bold patterns. I also recommend starting with your own outfit and then deciding on everyone else’s outfits. Always consider complimentary colours instead of matching each other.

What does a Chelsea newborn photoshoot cost?

I offer single or multiple portrait sessions, as you might like to consider taking newborn photos as well as milestone photos at 6 or 12 months. A single session creative fee is £150. This reserves your booking and covers my time for bespoke planning, shooting, selecting and hand editing your photographs. Digital collections start from £400. I would also be delighted to support you in selecting beautiful artwork to enjoy around your home, such as prints, albums and frames. You can find more information here or contact me directly for my full pricing guide. 

why do you recommend in-home newborn photography?

I love lifestyle photography and would like to share images of natural and authentic moments with you.  Being at home, you and your little ones will feel most at ease which is especially important in the early days. Leaving home with a newborn and maybe even a toddler is not a quick task and I would like to make the experience as smooth and memorable for you as possible.
