One of the things I love most about my work is welcoming families back into my studio more than once.
Many parents first visit me for their maternity photography session, and then return a few weeks later with their brand new baby for their newborn photography session.
Being able to photograph both of these moments is incredibly special. The excitement and anticipation during pregnancy, and then the quiet early days when your baby has finally arrived.
I specialise in maternity and newborn photography in Glasgow, welcoming families to my calm studio in Blantyre where I photograph both pregnancy and the early days with a new baby.
Families visit my studio from across Glasgow and Lanarkshire, often wanting a relaxed experience where they know their baby will be photographed gently and safely.
For many mums and dads, their maternity shoot is the first time they visit my studio.
The session is relaxed and unhurried. We take our time creating beautiful images that celebrate your pregnancy and the anticipation of meeting your baby.
Some mums choose dresses from my maternity wardrobe, while others prefer something simple like jeans and a top that shows their bump naturally.
Just as importantly, this first visit allows parents to experience the studio environment. They see how calm and welcoming the space feels, and they get to know me and how I work.
That experience often makes a big difference when they later return with their baby.
When your baby arrives, everything suddenly feels new.
Parents often tell me they feel much more relaxed returning to the studio for their newborn photography session because they already know where they are going.
They have already visited the studio during their maternity session. They know the space, they know the atmosphere, and they know how gently I approach each session.
That familiarity helps parents feel confident bringing their newborn baby to the studio.
When parents feel relaxed, babies usually settle more easily too.
Many families say they love knowing exactly where they are bringing their baby for their newborn
My approach to newborn photography is always calm, gentle and baby led.
Sessions take place in my newborn photography studio in Blantyre, where I photograph babies for families across Glasgow and Lanarkshire.
I allow plenty of time during newborn sessions so there is never any rush. Babies can feed, settle and sleep naturally while I gently photograph them.
Because many parents have already experienced the studio during their maternity session, they often tell me they feel completely comfortable bringing their baby back.
That sense of familiarity makes the newborn session feel relaxed and enjoyable for everyone.
When families book both maternity and newborn photography sessions, they are capturing two very meaningful parts of the same story.
The maternity session celebrates the anticipation before your baby arrives.
The newborn session captures the early days when everything feels new and you are getting to know your baby.
When families look back at these photographs together, they see the full journey from bump to baby.
These images often become some of the most treasured photographs a family has.
Yes. Most parents book their newborn photography session during pregnancy. I pencil your session into my diary using your due date and we arrange the exact date once your baby arrives.
The best time for newborn photography is usually when babies are between 10 and 21 days old. At this stage babies are often very sleepy and settle beautifully during their session.
Many parents choose to book both sessions so they can capture the full journey from pregnancy to the early days with their baby. Having both sessions with the same photographer also means parents already feel comfortable with the studio environment when they return with their newborn.

If you are expecting and would like to capture both your pregnancy and your baby’s first days, I would love to welcome you to the studio.
