The birth of a child is a momentous time in your life .
There is nothing else more memorable than looking into the eyes of your newborn baby for the first time.
From this very first instance you change inside …
A woman becomes a Mother ….
Let the magical journey commence and the love that flows will feel so immense.
Your life has new meaning …
Your heart filled with love….
Capture these early moments in time ..
Whilst they are small enough to curl in your arms..
Hold these memories close to your heart … forever.
Newborn Baby Photography, Hampshire.
by Julie A Davis
My purpose-built 30ft home studio is five minutes from the New Forest Birth Centre, Ashurst, Southampton, Hampshire. My specialist custom newborn baby photography sessions are held mainly on weekdays at my private studio with ample parking or in the privacy of your own home. However there is an extra cost for home sessions. I also offer Saturday sessions but these are limited and will incur an additional fee as I work very long hours during the week. I have been specialising in newborn photography for over 7 years. I use a combination of studio & natural light to produce my images that radiate the natural beauty of your little ones and your family. I also like to photograph your newborn baby, older babies, children and family as they develop and grow throughout the years. Many clients return time after time allowing me to capture their growing families. You will have an opportunity to join our VIP Baby Club membership with complimentary large prints and a wall art gift on your final session. Our way of saying thank you to you and your family.
There is a great deal of skill and energy involved in creating my custom imagery and the session is only the beginning. For this reason and to protect my intellectual property and processes I do not photograph other photographers babies, children or families. I only ever shoot one newborn sitting a day and these sessions are never hurried. Then I spend time editing the images ready for your personal viewing and that is when the ordering process can begin. The images created of your family are for you to hold close to your heart and to cherish forever. Truly a ‘once in lifetime opportunity and a wonderful experience’. These words I hear time and time again from my clients, which is wonderful as I really care about the images that I produce and they all have a piece of my heart and soul in them too!
Specialist in Newborns, First & Foremost
As well as my Photographic qualifications I am also a qualified Maternity Nurse, Nursery Nurse and an Infant Feeding and Sleeping Specialist. I have a wealth of over 25 years experience of working with newborn babies, children and families. I am experienced with working with small premature babies, triplets and quadtruplets. I also hold several other Childcare qualifications and most importantly I am a mum myself. I have worked as a private Maternity Nurse, Midwifery assistant, Post Natal Carer and Breast Feeding Advisor within the NHS as well as worldwide for many private and high profile clients. I have always worked very closely with newborns and babies of all ages. This has enabled me to gain a great sense of perception regarding the needs of newborns and children, gathering a vast array of experience and knowledge along the way. I hold a full current CRB check and I am fully insured.
Please do contact me to discuss your needs and personal requirements in depth. I would love to speak to you and to answer any queries you may have. The perfect time to do this would be just after your 12 or 20 week scan. I can sometimes accommodate late bookings due to my diary being in constant motion as babies come when they are ready! Sometimes early – sometimes late. I pride myself on listening to what my clients want and always aim to exceed their expectations. Please do let us know upon enquiring if you work within the NHS, Armed Forces or Armed Services (Police or Firefighter).With identification proof of this you will receive a reduced session fee.This must be confirmed at the time of your booking.

I look forward to hearing from you very soon.
Warm wishes
