Tiny fingers, sleepy stretches and the way your baby fits into your arms. Natural newborn photographs give you something to return to as those first weeks become a memory.
I’m Mags. I photograph newborns in my Melrose studio and in families’ homes, with gentle guidance and time for feeding, changing and cuddles.
Collections from £85, including digital photographs and matching prints.
Reserve your session with a £50 deposit, deducted from your chosen collection. Choose your photographs after you’ve seen your gallery.
Every baby is different. Your photographs might capture peaceful sleep, bright eyes, a tiny yawn or a cuddle in your arms.
You don’t need your baby to perform for the camera. We’ll work around how they feel on the day.
Welcoming a baby brings plenty to think about. Your photography session should feel easy.
I’ll help you prepare, provide wraps, blankets and simple props, and gently guide you throughout the session. You don’t need to know how to pose or worry about what happens if your baby needs a break.
My approach is natural and baby-led, with your baby’s comfort guiding what we do.

Allow approximately 2 hours for your studio session, including breaks for feeds, changes and cuddles.
Wraps, blankets and simple props are provided. I’ll explain what to bring before your appointment.
If you’d like parents or siblings included, let me know when you enquire so I can explain the options for your collection.
We’ll discuss your baby’s age, the photographs you’d love and anything you’re unsure about.
You don’t need to decide how many photographs to buy before meeting your baby—or before seeing your images. Your £50 deposit is part of the collection price, rather than an additional charge.
