Newborn Photography Bristol
If you are thinking about newborn photography in Bristol then you are in the right place. Either you are expecting or you already have your precious little bundle in your arms, so congratulations!
I am a Bristol newborn photographer with over 8 years experience.
Babies are ideally photographed at between 5 and 21 days old when they are still very sleepy and new. Bookings can be made any time after your 20 week scan and this will guarantee that you don’t miss out as I can often get booked up several months in advance.
I also realize that many new parents don’t think about having photos taken until after baby has been born so it is never too late to get in touch – I will do my best to fit you in, even if your baby is a little older than 3 weeks. If your baby is over 3 months old please have a look at my Baby Photography page.
AMAZING
We had a lovely experience with Kate at her studio and were over the moon with the pictures that we got. Taking pictures of newborns is a very specific skill and Kate is amazing at it. We would highly recommend Kate and we will be booking another session when our little one is sitting up.
YOUR NEWBORN PHOTOSHOOT
All my sessions take place in my natural light studio in Pill, about 15 minutes drive from Bristol city centre.
Sessions can take up to four hours but this is to allow plenty of time to settle your baby. There is a sofa for you to sit back and relax on whilst I create some stunning artwork for you to treasure forever.
During your session I will use several different set-ups for your baby that have been chosen specifically for you based on your pre-session consultation. Sibling and family photos are also included as part of your session – and if grandparents are visiting, bring them along too (please just let me know beforehand!).
Please visit my Newborn Photography Bristol Portfolio Page to see more examples of my work. You can watch a short film of one of Kate’s newborn sessions HERE.
Conveniently located just off the M5 my studio is perfect for those looking for newborn photography in Bristol, Bath, Somerset, Gloucestershire and South Wales.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING
Newborn Photography FAQs
When Should I Book?
You can book your session any time after your 12 week scan. Limited bookings are taken each month to allow for some flexibility with rescheduling if baby arrives early or late.
Although it is best to photograph babies when they are under three weeks old I am happy to do newborn photography sessions up to around 6 weeks, so I will do my best to fit you in, even if you’ve left it a little late to book!

What Happens If My Baby Wont Sleep?
If your baby is wide awake then I don’t waste my time trying to force them to sleep if they are not tired. I will use this opportunity to take some super cute awake shots and maybe some family photos.
If they are still wide awake after a good kick about and a big feed then I will probably swaddle them. Being swaddled is like being cuddled so not only does it look super cute but it often helps to get them off to sleep.
Many of the naked posed shots do require them to be in a deep sleep. It can sometimes take a little while to get them into the right state but we usually get there in the end – this is why some sessions take 3 hours…or more!!
What Happens If My Baby Wont Stop Crying?
What Do We Need To Bring With Us?
- Lots of nappies & wipes.
- Several bottles if bottle feeding. Baby may seem even more hungry than normal during the session so bring extra!
- If you have one, please bring a dummy/pacifyer, even if you do not plan to use one in the long term. If your baby will not settle I may suggest using a dummy, just for a few seconds as they fall asleep. Using one for this very short time will not get them ‘hooked’ on it and will not cause any feeding confusion in future, but it may be the difference between getting a few more super cute sleepy photos and not. I promise to respect your wishes if you would still rather I do not use one.
- A change of clothes – accidents do happen, especially when holding naked babies!!!
- Any special teddies or heirloom items you may wish to include in some photos.
