Newborn Photography

Welcome to As You Are Photography, your home for relaxed and informal Hertfordshire newborn photography. Life with a newborn is full of snuggles, cups of tea, and tiny moments that pass in the blink of an eye. My goal is to capture your baby just as they are – naturally, comfortably, and beautifully.

Relaxed At-Home Newborn Sessions

My Hertfordshire newborn photography sessions are all about you and your baby in your own home. There’s no complicated posing or elaborate props – just gentle, stress-free photography that responds to your baby’s needs. I’ll find those little pockets of beautiful light around your home and capture the tiny details, the yawns, the cuddles, and all the quiet, magical moments of your newborn stage.

There’s no pressure to schedule a shoot in the first two weeks either – we can do it whenever you feel ready. While the newborn phase is precious, I especially love capturing babies aged 6-10 months, as they begin to sit, explore, and show their personalities.

As a mum myself, I know how chaotic and exhausting those early weeks can be, but investing in a Hertfordshire newborn photoshoot is truly worth it. These photographs become priceless memories you’ll cherish forever.

How does it work?

I love documenting your family story – from pregnancy and newborns to the first year and beyond. If you have older children, you can also explore my family photography sessions here:

Maternity Photography

If you’re expecting, I offer relaxed Hertfordshire maternity sessions in beautiful outdoor locations. We’ll take a leisurely walk, chat, and capture natural images of you, your partner, and your bump. The ideal time for maternity photos is around 7-8 months, when you’re feeling comfortable and radiant.

Newborn Photography

Once your little one arrives, I’ll come to your home to capture those precious early moments. Whether it’s feeding, bath time, or cuddles on the sofa, your newborn session is completely informal and guided by you and your baby. We can plan your session around any special moments you want to include.

Baby’s First Year Package

I also offer a ‘Baby’s First Year’ package, where I return at different stages to document your little one growing and changing over their first 12 months.
