Newborn Photography - Baby Sessions - Isabelle B Photography

There isn’t a ‘perfect’ age for baby photos. It’s all about what works for you and your family. While some photographers suggest earlier is better, I take a more flexible approach. Since I don’t focus on super-posed or tightly swaddled shots, your baby can be anywhere from a few days old up to 8 weeks. It’s about finding a time that fits your schedule, your bond with your little one, and your circumstances. Babies grow fast, but whether they’re 1, 2, or 8 weeks old, they’re still your tiny treasure.

It’s always a good idea to have a mix of outfits on hand. Not only does this give us some variety in the photos, but it’s also helpful in case of any little mishaps. Soft, neutral tones and simple designs often work best to keep the focus on your baby. Comfort is key! Snuggly, natural fabrics are perfect.

Absolutely! Including siblings and pets makes the session even more special. Capturing those precious moments with the whole family creates meaningful keepsakes. I’ve taken some lovely shots, like baby Poppy with her fluffy big brother Robin the cat… Did you spot him above?

I use a mix of natural light and flash to ensure we get the best results, no matter the conditions in your home. When I use flash, it’s never direct flash. I use a technique called bounce flash, where the light reflects off walls and ceilings for a soft, natural look that won’t upset your little one. If your home has good natural light, I’ll definitely make the most of it for that soft, dreamy feel.

I love working with the natural flow of your home, capturing moments in spaces that feel familiar and comfortable. Some favourites include the nursery, the lounge, or any room with big windows that let in lots of natural light. But don’t worry, I’ll adapt to your home’s layout and lighting to ensure we create beautiful images wherever we shoot.

Please don’t worry. Babies are unpredictable, and that’s completely okay! If your little one needs some extra time to settle, I’m more than happy to wait and work around them. Sessions are relaxed and unhurried, so we’ll take breaks as needed to make sure everyone feels calm and comfortable.

My approach is natural, relaxed, and candid. I aim to capture the real bond between you and your baby, focusing on authentic moments rather than rigid poses. I might suggest small movements or holds, but it’s all about keeping things stress-free and letting your connection shine through.

I don’t provide props because I want the photos to feel personal to you. Your baby surrounded by items that hold sentimental value, like a handmade blanket or a family heirloom makes the images far more meaningful.

Sessions typically last around 60 minutes. That said, I understand that little ones sometimes need a bit of extra time, so I’m happy to stay an additional 10–15 minutes to make sure we get everything we need without feeling rushed.

The session fee covers your private online gallery and the download of 20 digital images of your choice. If you find it too hard to narrow down your favourites (which is very common!), you can purchase additional digital images for £5 each. There’s no obligation, and completely up to you.
For locations over 25 miles from my base in Sheffield, there’s an additional travel fee of £1 per extra mile. I’ll always confirm this with you beforehand to ensure transparency.

You’ll receive your full online gallery within 5 weeks, depending on my schedule. To keep you excited, I’ll also send over a sneak peek of 4 images shortly after the session. It’s a little preview to tide you over while I work on the rest!

Neutral tones work beautifully and help keep the focus on your new little one. Soft, natural colours like creams, greys, pastels, or muted earthy shades photograph really well and create a timeless look. Avoid bold patterns, bright colours, or large logos, as they can be distracting. Comfort is just as important! Choose clothes that allow you to relax and interact naturally with your baby. Simple, well-fitting outfits that make you feel good will always look great in photos.
