Natural Newborn Studio Photography in the Scottish Borders & Edinburgh

A Calm, Baby-Led Experience in the Heart of the Borders

My garden studio in Innerleithen is warm, peaceful and fully set up with everything you and your baby need. Designed with comfort and calm in mind, it's the perfect place to slow down, snuggle in and capture those once in a lifetime newborn moments.

I welcome families from across the Scottish Borders and Edinburgh who want honest, natural newborn photography that feels like them.

Simple, Minimal and True to You

My approach is natural and minimalist. No props, no forced posing - just your baby, exactly as they are.

We’ll gently capture all the little details: tiny fingers and toes, a yawn, a stretch, the way your baby fits in your arms. We’ll also take time to photograph you as a family - those first quiet moments together that are over far too quickly.

When Should I Book My Newborn Session?

The ideal time for newborn photography is when your baby is between 7 and 14 days old. At this stage, they’re usually sleepy, curled and flexible, with that gorgeous fresh skin.

That said, if your baby is a little older - don’t worry. We can still go ahead with the session. Just know they may be more alert, and the images might look slightly different (but still just as beautiful).

Session Length and What to Expect

Each session lasts between 1 and 4 hours.

That might sound like a long time, but it’s designed to be slow and unhurried. There’s time for feeds, cuddles, changes - and homemade cake.

My job is to help you feel relaxed, because when you’re calm, your baby will be too. That’s when the magic happens.

Studio or In-Home Lifestyle Photography?

You can choose between two types of newborn sessions:

Studio Sessions in Innerleithen

These take place in my cosy garden studio using natural light, a neutral beanbag setup and a few soft wraps if baby is happy. It’s a gentle, quiet environment where you can fully relax while I focus on capturing all the little moments.

In-Home Lifestyle Sessions

Prefer to stay at home? I can come to you. No beanbags or wrapping, just honest photographs of your new life - feeding, snuggling, changing and settling in your own space. A real glimpse into your newborn bubble.

What Do Lifestyle Sessions Look Like?

Lifestyle sessions are natural, relaxed and totally unposed. They last around 2 hours and are full of giggles, tea, and love. We'll go at your baby’s pace and keep things as calm and easy as possible. These sessions are perfect if you want to stay close to home and capture your everyday life, just as it is.
