MILESTONE

INNOCENT. ENCHANTING. INQUISITIVE.

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 baby 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.

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. Before long, you have a baby who giggles, rolls, and locks you in their piercing, inquisitive gaze. This time, too, pesass all too quickly. But you can freeze these moments by booking me – your baby 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 cheeky cherubs throughout our Hertfordshire home. Life is for living, of course, but it can also be hard to take a step from the day-to-day minutiae. Babyhood is so fleeting – blink and you’ll miss it! – so capturing these moments is essential.

I love my job as a baby photographer. It’s a privilege to be entrusted with your precious child, 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 joyfulness, cataloging their curiosity, their smiles and those exquisite details that make them unique.

Every baby is different, and that deserves to be celebrated, captured and treasured.

So I also make it my mission to create showstopping photographic art that showcases what makes your little one themselves – whether that’s an obsession with cars, a favourite gesture or interacting with a favourite book or toy.

All the tiny moments that form the essence of your baby’s uniqur personality. 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





A few details about your baby photoshoot…

Reserve a date shortly after your newborn session – we can then touch base nearer the time to agree a specific time.

A tired or hungry baby is not a happy baby, so we work around your baby’s ever-changing schedule to ensure we can capture their happy smiles and cheeky grins.

I offer a couple of setups within a milestone setup – often my clients opt for one classic background and one themed set – so we usually do a couple of outfits to match.

And of course, parents and siblings are welcome to jump in a photographs or two as well.

TESTIMONIALS

Warm Words

I understand it’s a big deal, trusting someone with your family’s cherished memories.

So reassure yourself – hear what my clients have to say about a baby 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.

Amy B.

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.
