Pure & Simple Newborn Portraits
I capture the fleeting, fragile first days of your baby’s life—from 5 to 20 days old—through soft, neutral tones and minimalist styling. These sessions are designed to preserve the delicate details of your newborn as timeless art, created in a calm, temperature-controlled environment.

About Pure & Simple: Newborn Portraits
Newborn sessions are best scheduled within that golden 5-20 day window while your baby is still sleepy and curly. I operate a 27°C temperature-controlled studio to ensure your little one stays comfortable and safe throughout the 3-4 hour session, giving us plenty of time for feeding and soothing without any rush.
The Art of the Early Days
Photography in the first few weeks isn't just about the click of a shutter; it is about preserving the 'fuzz' on a forehead, the curl of a lip, and the way they fit perfectly in your arms. Because these physical features change within weeks, my approach is dedicated to pausing time during that narrow 5-20 day window.
Safety and Comfort First
I treat your home and my studio as a sanctuary for your baby. My sessions are centered around a 'baby-led' philosophy. If the baby needs to feed, we feed. If they need to be soothed or held, we pause. The studio is maintained at a precise 27°C to mimic the womb's environment, ensuring they remain calm and settled throughout the 3-4 hour booking. Every pose is checked for specialist neck support and circulation, so you can relax knowing your baby is in safe hands.
Minimalist Aesthetic
My style rejects the cluttered, neon-heavy trends in favor of 'Creamy & Matte' editing and a soft, neutral palette. I focus on textures—delicate mohair wraps, wooden props, and natural fabrics—that highlight your baby, not the background. Whether you prefer a raw, minimalist look or a simple, styled setup, the focus remains on the quiet, unfiltered world of your newborn.
What to Expect
- Professional Retouching: My signature process removes temporary skin redness or newborn rashes, leaving a clean, painterly finish.
- Macro Details: I always include dedicated time for macro shots of tiny eyelashes, fingers, and toes.
- Parent Integration: These sessions include skin-to-skin portraits with parents and siblings, capturing the very first chapters of your family story.
