Baby photoshoots in Ely, CB7 4BW
Specialist baby and family photographer
Capture all the details of your beautiful new baby; tiny toes, the cosy way they curl up, sleepy smiles and the love that you share for them.
With over 10 years specialising in baby photography, you can be reassured that you’re in safe hands. Each session is bespoke to you, if there are certain colours you would like to choose, sentimental teddies and blankets you would like to include, you’re part of the creative process as much or as little as you would like to be.
Newborn photos are best booked within those first few weeks when baby is naturally more sleepy, however babies can of course be photographed at any age and we can still achieve a gallery of beautiful photos. For babies older than 12 weeks, please book a baby/children’s session.
“My twin babies had a newborn photoshoot with Vicki. Vicki was SO patient - she waited when one of the babies needed feeding. She was calm, used positive touch and handled the babies beautifully to move the babies into gorgeous positions for photos. I felt relaxed knowing my babies were in safe hands. And the best part was, the end result photos were AMAZING. I am literally in love with their photos and can’t wait to return for future photos.”
What’s included?
NEWBORN photoshoot
A photoshoot focussed on your new baby with your choice in backdrop colours, various wraps and clothing to choose from and a range of posed and more natural photos.
We will go through a variety of setups and different props at the pace of your baby, always ensuring they come first and if we need to stop to feed or settle, this is all part of the session and very normal. Family, siblings and dogs are very welcome too and there are a variety of wooden toys and books for younger children to play with whilst they’re waiting for their turn.
Including sentimental items is a great way of personalising your photoshoot - teddies and blankets both look great and we can also include these in your future photoshoots.

faq’s
When is best to book?
Any time from your 12 week scan, get your due date booked in and tick newborn photos off your to do list. If you have already given birth, midweek sessions are often available at short notice so please still check the diary and get in touch. Newborn photos are best booked in the first 2-3 weeks as baby is naturally more sleepy however I do take newborn bookings up to 12 weeks and beyond this, you’re very welcome to book a baby and family session to capture your baby as they grow.
How long will it take?
Choose from the newborn mini session which is 45 minutes in the studio or the full shoot which is up to 2 hours to allow time for feeding, settling and greater variety of posing which can take place at the studio or your own home.
What do I wear?
You will want to be comfortable so please dress accordingly. Plain colours tend to work well, I recommend picking a colour or material and running it through your family outfit choices so they all tie in together. For baby, you’re welcome to bring an outfit if you would like but I have neutral outfits you can use and a variety of coloured wraps for swaddled photos too so please don’t feel you need to bring too much.
Can parents and children join in?
Yes! Partners and the baby’s siblings are very welcome in the full session, along with Grandparents and the studio is also dog friendly if you would like to include your furry members of the family too. The newborn mini session is just for baby.
Can we have the shoot at home?
Yes absolutely, I am more than happy to come to your home for newborn and family photoshoots. These take on a more lifestyle technique rather than using studio lighting and backdrops, we will work with your space and it will feel more natural.
What do I need to pay and when?
There is a non refundable session fee required when booking. You don’t pay anything else until you’ve seen the photos!
What happens next?
Following your shoot, we will book a viewing session, this can be back at the studio or arranged online over Zoom. You can enjoy a slideshow of your best photos, professionally edited and ready to download that same day.
Choose your digital images then add prints and framed artwork too. I can guide you through this and there is absolutely no hard sell. Additional digital images are priced at £25 each.
Payment is due at your viewing session and can be made via cash, bacs, card or Klarna.
Booking a future session.
Both mini and full newborn shoots offer a discount on a 6 month and birthday shoot, please let me know at your newborn session if you would like to book this in and we can pencil in a date. It’s great to have a date in the diary, even if closer to the time it needs adjusting slightly, as time goes so quickly, it will soon come round and you won’t want to miss the opportunity!
