Newborn session

As a mammy to one little girl, I know all too well how quickly those newborn days fly. I've been the new mum, staring at those tiny details of my newborn baby, soaking it all in. Only to find, time disappears and all of a sudden its a distant memory. Booking a baby photoshoot allows you to capture all the fleeting memories and gives you a keepsake that will last a lifetime. Soon the newborn scrunch and tiny toes will be gone. Don't let those details disappear without creating lasting memories.

I specialise in natural newborn photography, this style is often referred to "lifestyle photography".

A natural, relaxed and elegant form of photography led in the comfort of your own home.

A combination of gentle posing, and candid shots will give you a gallery to cherish forever.

Frequently asked questions:

Where do you travel to?

My in home shoots cover a number of areas in the Co. Antrim area. I am based in Martinstown just outside Ballymena, but travel to a vast number of different locations. Please note some of these areas come with a travel expense addition , but not all as i cover a 15 mile radius from Martinstown , and then after that is a very small addition. For more information on this please get in contact.

Why should I have my newborn photoshoot at home?

You've just welcomed a new little life into this world. Your sore, sleep deprived and the thought of packing the bag to go out is like a military operation the best of times never mind after just giving birth!

No stress, just love is my take on newborn photoshoots. Don't rush, let me come to you. You can get ready without having to pack and work out if you have enough of everything to see you through our time. Not quite ready when i arrive? No stress! I can capture all the little details of your newborn baby , and grab a few sleepy snuggles whilst you finish getting ready. Sleepy newborn cuddles are my thing, you best believe i wont say no to that!

When should I book?

Newborn photoshoots need to be booked in advance as i can't gurantee that there will be space once your baby arrives. Bookings can be made once you have attended your 12 week scan. Your due date is only a guide date , therefore we will finalise a session date and time once the baby has arrived safely. I use your due date as a rough guide and mark out 3 slots based on if you go early, on time or overdue. Please let me know within 48 hours of the babys birth so i can provide you with my next available slots.

To book in you must pay a £20.00 deposit to secure your date. And this gurantees your session when your baby arrives. Deposit amount will be deducted from the total balance. Please include details of due date, location and which package you would like to go for to speed up the booking process.

When will I recieve my gallery?

You will recieve a sneak peek gallery within 48 hours of the session time. The full gallery will be uploaded and delivered to you via an online link where you can download your images from. Full galleries are ready 2-3 weeks after the session if not earlier.

Can I purchase prints with you?

Absolutely, this can be discussed once your gallery is finalised and delivered. You will then gain access to my online store and there will be a early bird discount available to all my clients. Prints, Canvas, Calenders, Thank you cards etc are all available to purchase.

Where do I start with Edele… Not only was she totally chilled and great with our little boy while taking our photos the pictures have turned out amazing and something we can cherish as a new family of 4 🥰
We also had the added comfort of having this newborn photoshoot in our own home with no pressure just simply natural for us and this was all because of Edele, we could not recommend her enough 🙌 definitely will be having more family photoshoots in the future with her!
