Newborn Photography South Wales
Welcome to the world..
I'm here for the parents who don't believe in props, backdrops and posing babies. Those who believe in capturing images of your babe as they truly, beautifully are. Who believe in intimacy, emotion and love, my newborn images are full of all that. Does that sound like you? Your at home newborn photography in South Wales takes place where you are most comfortable, if you are relaxed the images we create will be natural and authentic. They'll be images you connect with and bring you flooding back with all the feelings you had when your child was just days old. Providing meaningful baby photography to South Wales and beyond to help parents celebrate their biggest adventure yet!
Newborn Photography South Wales
A newborn photography in South Wales session is for the parents who understand the beauty of everyday with a newborn. Each moment holds magic when you’ve welcomed a new life into the world and it deserves to be immortalised.
For the parents who say no to posing, backdrops and props and hell yes to unique newborn portraits which truly represent the journey you are on. I mean, who decided babies have to be put in wraps and baskets to be photographed?!
Once you have welcomed me into your home, and once I’ve spent a shameful amount of time cooing over your baby, we will start creating those emotive portraits. I won’t make you pose in awkward forced smiles, we hang out together chatting about all things birth and babes and I snap away, catching those little loving moments without you even realising.
Honest, raw and heartwarming images.


"Couldn’t be happier! Loved every minute of the experience. Sarah was brilliant and so lovely to work with. She was so relaxed and friendly, and because we were so relaxed too we ended up with the most beautiful natural shots. She even got my toddler to behave for the camera! And the video was a complete surprise and bonus - everyone who has seen it got a bit teary-eyed! We’re so happy we chose you and have these amazing family photos to look back on xxx"

"Sarah is absolutely fantastic. The photos that she captured of our family are something that we will cherish forever. Her kind and calm demeanour immediately helped us to feel more relaxed to get the natural style photos we hoped for. She even managed to calm down our very excitable dog and get some beautiful photos of her too! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for natural gorgeous photos of their families, especially newborns."

Stories of Newborn Photography in South Wales
-
When should I book?For maternity sessions you can book anytime after your 20 week scan, I will help you arrange the date for your session. I advise Mothers to have their maternity portraits at around 35 weeks when you’re bump is in full bloom. Newborn sessions can take place when baby is between 1-5 weeks old. Most clients book whilst still pregnant but I can sometimes arrange sessions at a shorter notice if your baby is already here!
-
Do you pose babies with props or wraps?Simple answer no. I prefer a more natural approach to documenting babies, my newborn portraits capture the beauty of your new baby just as they are.
-
How long is a newborn session?1-2 hours but I’m certainly not strict with that. Our session will be very relaxed, if baby is feeling unsettled there’s no stress, I’m happy to take my time until we’ve got all those yummy shots.
-
How does payment work?I ask for a 50% deposit upon booking to secure your date. You may spread the rest of the payments out however suits you best, the remainder of your session fee is due before your session.
-
Do you print the images?At this moment I do not print your images for you. I am of course happy to guide you in printing them yourself.
-
Do you do family photoshoots?Absolutely! I've had the pleasure of being invited back year after year to document families and their growing little ones with most of my newborn clients!
-
What happens after my session?After your session I get straight on to your images. It usually takes three weeks for me to deliver your entire online gallery to you. Depending on the collection you choose you will be able to download or purchase your images directly from your private online gallery. You are also welcome to share the gallery with family or friends if they wanted to purchase any themselves! Then you have timeless photos of your wonderful pregnancy to enjoy always!
-
Where do sessions take place?My favourite place to shoot is in your very own home, in fact all newborn sessions take place there. However maternity, Motherhood or family sessions can also take place at a location special to you such as your favourite scenic spot or local bookshop. We can work together to find a location that suits you perfectly.
-
When will we receive our images?Your online gallery will be ready to view within 2-3 weeks after our session. You will be able to download or purchase any extra images directly from there.
