Those tiny fingers, sleepy smiles, and precious first days pass by in the blink of an eye.
A newborn session, especially one focused on baby-led newborn photography, is about more than beautiful photographs—it’s about preserving the memories you’ll never want to forget.
Based in Melrose, I welcome families from across the Scottish Borders, Edinburgh, Northumberland, and beyond to my warm and relaxed studio, where I specialize as a Scottish Borders newborn photographer.
Your baby’s comfort and safety will always come first.
Every newborn session is completely baby-led, allowing plenty of time for feeding, cuddles and settling whenever needed.
There is never any rush, giving you the opportunity to relax and simply enjoy these precious moments together.

The best time to book your newborn session is during pregnancy to ensure availability around your due date.
I’d love to help you capture these precious first memories.
Prefer to stay at home with your new arrival? I also offer in-home newborn photography across the Scottish Borders, Edinburgh and the Lothians.
I’ll bring a carefully selected collection of wraps, blankets and simple props to create beautiful, natural portraits in the comfort of your own home.
In-home sessions are perfect for families who would prefer a relaxed experience without travelling during those precious first weeks with their baby.
