Her work is well known, even featured on BBC Radio 4’s ‘Picturing Britain,’ and chosen by TV personalities. Each newborn session runs at least three hours, so there’s plenty of time to feed, soothe, and get those perfect shots without any rush.

The pictures were stunning
Elle came to our home to photograph our 4 week old baby.
The pictures were stunning, there were so many incredible photos to choose from we ended up buying an album, which we will forever cherish.
More than that, the session was completely seamless, she has a very gentle way of working with babies and the she managed to keep our daughter completely calm for 2 hours whilst moving her around, it was immediately clear how experienced she was.
The post session service was also amazing, delivering the photos in good time and helping us put together our perfect album.

It was such a lovely experience from start to finish
We had our newborn photoshoot with Elle in November and honestly, it was such a lovely experience from start to finish. Our baby was a little older than the typical newborn stage, but Elle was so calm and patient with him. She has such a gentle, reassuring presence which made us feel completely at ease.
The shoot itself felt relaxed and never rushed, and she was amazing with our little one. After the session, she was really responsive and kept us updated about the photos. The whole process was smooth and professional.

She was compassionate to our daughter’s needs
My daughter came a month early and Nemi got us in for the newborn shoot within 10 days of her being born. As new first time parents there was a lot we didn’t know, Nemi gave us tips not only how to photograph a newborn, but on how to handle her when she was upset this was extremely useful to first time parents. She was very compassionate and sensitive to our daughters needs and because of this we had a fantastic photo shoot and found it extremely hard to not choose every photo.

I am very pleased with the result
I found Nemi on the internet and immediately fell in love her style of photography. I booked her for a newborn and family shoot the following week and it was a great experience. I felt very comfortable with the way she handled our 10 day old son and I completely trusted her. She spent a lot of time getting the poses right and making sure every shot was perfect.After a whole afternoon there we came away with some very beautiful and unique photographs. I am very pleased with the result and can definitely recommend Nemi to anyone.

Halina curates an exceptional newborn photography experience using an extensive collection of premium, handmade props. As a mother of two, she meticulously sanitises every item with hypoallergenic baby detergent after every single use for ultimate safety.
Her package includes 20 edited digital images and five premium mounted art prints. You can choose between visiting her cosy studio for a two- to three-hour session or having her come to your home with a full setup for about three hours.
One client we interviewed said the handmade outfits provided during her in-home session completely took away the stress of choosing what her baby should wear.
But you must pay a strict non-refundable retainer fee of £150 for studio sessions, or £300 for in-home shoots. She also imposes an additional £50 premium surcharge for weekend sessions.

She has a remarkable talent
We used Little Dreamers Photography for our newborns photoshoot and I couldn’t recommend Halina highly enough. She has a remarkable talent and captured our very special 3 day old newborn perfectly.
She was so patient and knew exactly how to position and work our baby with so much confidence.
The environment Halina created was second to none, she made sure it was always warm in the room and there was so many prop options to choose from.
We are so pleased with the photos we had done and we will be back for more when we have our second baby.

She knows how to handle babies well
Halina was very professional and took amazing photos of my 3 week old baby. She also had a great variety of props and clothes. She knows how to handle babies well and settles them quickly when they start becoming fussy. I would definitely recommend her!

5. Lavender Hill Photography

Address: 6 Kelmscott Cl
Contact: +44 7846 425786 / [email protected]
Hours: Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Lavender Hill Photography limits the number of sessions they book each month, making sure families get lots of attention and a premium experience. With over ten years in the field, they’re used to adjusting for early arrivals, so there’s never any rush.
Right after you book, you’ll get an exclusive studio welcome pack that makes family wardrobe planning super simple. Their sessions also use a classic all-white look with gentle, baby-led posing and a focus on capturing authentic family moments.
On top of that, they welcome older babies up to four months old and set aside plenty of time just for parents and siblings’ portraits.
There’s a £90 session fee to save your spot, though, and this doesn’t include any images. You’ll need to come back to the studio later for an in-person viewing.

She made us all feel very relaxed
We chose Monica for our newborn photoshoot and couldn’t be happier. She was so good with our little one, much better than us as new parents. She made us all feel very relaxed in an otherwise stressful time in our lives. Her studio is cozy and lovely and we just love our photographs. We received even more than we were expecting because they were all beautiful. Would definitely recommend Monica.

Monica made the whole process very easy
I had such a beautiful experience with Monica who captured the most precious moments of my firstborn. This was one of my first ever professional photoshoots and by being a first time mum I was very nervous with how it was going to be. Monica was very understanding as she has years of experience of being a newborn photographer. Monica made the whole process very easy, she was flexible with the photoshoot timings and adjusted to my baby’s feeding time and tried her best to take the best pictures possible.
