The entire experience was incredible
Helen was amazing with our baby, we felt so relaxed knowing she was in safe hands.
Before the shoot we discussed colour themes and ideas, and Helen created the most beautiful photos which were even better than we originally had in mind.
The photos will be cherished for a lifetime.

Stunning newborn photography on the Essex – Hertfordshire border
And suddenly you were my everything
When you first hold your newborn baby, the room around you fades into the background as you behold this incredible new life that you brought into the world. It’s magical and mindblowing.
In that special moment, it feels hard to imagine your baby growing any bigger than they are right now, nestled in your arms. Nestled where they belong. You admire the tiny fingernails of a hand clinging to your own finger. You stroke the soles of those little feet and watch them wiggle. Precious.
And yet conversely, within just a few short weeks it seems impossible that this perfect little human once fit inside you. A moment gone in the blink of a tiny eyelash. But you can freeze these moments by booking me – your newborn photographer in Bishop’s Stortford – to capture every important memory.
A photograph holds a moment safe forever
My husband and I have three boys, and we proudly display our photographs of them as newborns throughout our Hertfordshire home. Life is for living, of course, but that doesn’t mean we should forget where we come from, and our humble beginnings!
I love my job as a newborn photographer. It’s a privilege to be entrusted with your new baby, unquestionably, and one I take very seriously. So I put the same love into your photos as I do those of my own children: oceans of it.
OUR MISSION
Let me love you a little more before you’re not little any more.
Signature.
My mission is twofold. Firstly, I capture your baby in all their newness, cataloging their tiny features and those exquisite details that make them unique.
But a new baby enters the world as a new chapter in the love story of their parents. A beginning, yes, but also a new leaf on an ancient family tree with deep roots.
So I also make it my mission to create showstopping photographic art that is meaningful to your family.
Shared experiences, shared interests, shared values. Shared dreams. Represented through images which are truly meaningful to you, and which you can display as a centrepiece in the home you share.

HOW IT WORKS
The NEWBORN Experience
We don’t know when baby will arrive, so we’ll book them a space based on the month they’re due – and once the booking fee is paid, you can relax, knowing your spot is guaranteed!
Next, it’s time to tailor your experience with a consultation. We’ll talk through what to expect and plan the perfect styling for your session. It’s also your chance to ask me any questions too.
WORLD
Baby is here! Send me a message and we’ll book your session date and time. Then, it’s time to sit back and relax, and let me take care of your baby – and you – for a few precious hours.
A few weeks later, you’ll be invited back into the studio for the big reveal, to choose your images, and I can also help you design the perfect artwork for your wall, an album or a print box.

TESTIMONIALS
Warm Words
I understand it’s a big deal, trusting someone else with your brand new baby.
So reassure yourself – hear what my clients have to say about a newborn photography experience like no other, here at my studio just outside Bishop’s Stortford.
Helen is such a wonderful, calm and friendly person
She is also some sort of baby whisperer! Somehow Helen managed to get out little guy to sleep and then create the most amazing images in her beautiful studio.
The whole experience from watching Helen take the photos to viewing the images was just magical.

The final photos were beyond any expectations
Helen’s friendly, relaxed personality automatically put us at ease and her experience with newborns was evident throughout the entire session.
Our daughter remained relaxed and content throughout the shoot, Helen was gentle and calm with baby and spent time making sure she was comfortable before taking any photos. We would highly recommend Helen to any new parent.

Helen could not be any more amazing at what she does!
Not only does she take the time to know you as a family but she is warm and extremely professional. Our photos of our baby boy will be treasured forever and cannot thank her enough for capturing such precious moments.
Her photos speak for themselves and we will definitely be booking her again for future baby milestones.
