My Newborn Photography Studio in Hampshire
A Calm, Safe & Comfortable Space for You and Your Baby
A calm space designed especially for newborn babies
My newborn photography studio is based in Totton, Hampshire, and has been carefully created with newborn safety, comfort and calm in mind.
This is not a busy, noisy environment.
It’s a warm, quiet space where you can relax, knowing your baby is being cared for gently and professionally.
Families travel to my studio from Winchester, Southampton, Salisbury, the New Forest and Dorset because they value experience, reassurance and a calm approach during those early days with a new baby.
Designed for first-time parents
If this is your first baby, it’s completely natural to feel a little nervous — especially about leaving the house or handing your baby to someone new.
My studio is designed to help you feel at ease from the moment you arrive.
You’ll find:
-
a warm, peaceful environment
-
comfortable seating for feeding and cuddles
-
plenty of time — no rushing
-
a calm, unhurried atmosphere
Many parents tell me the session feels more like a pause in a busy newborn period than a photoshoot.
A baby-led, safety-first approach
Before becoming a photographer, I spent over 20 years working professionally with newborn babies and mothers as a qualified nursery nurse, maternity nurse, and infant feeding and sleep specialist.
That experience shapes everything I do in the studio.
Your baby’s comfort and safety always come first:
-
poses are gentle and natural
-
your baby is never forced or rushed
-
there is time for feeding, settling and soothing
This baby-led approach is especially reassuring for parents who feel protective, anxious, or who have waited a long time for their baby.
Everything is prepared for you
You don’t need to bring anything special to your newborn session.
My studio is fully equipped with:
-
soft wraps and blankets
-
neutral, timeless props
-
a warm temperature suitable for newborns
All you need to do is arrive with your baby and allow yourself to relax.
Sessions typically last 2–3 hours, allowing plenty of time for your baby to settle naturally.
Easy to reach from Winchester & Southampton
My studio is conveniently located in Totton, Hampshire, with easy access from:
-
Winchester
-
Southampton
-
Salisbury
-
The New Forest
-
Dorset and surrounding areas
Many families choose to travel a little further for a photographer they feel they can truly trust.
Booking your newborn session
Because newborn photography takes place in a very short window, I recommend booking your session while you are still pregnant, ideally between 20–32 weeks.
This ensures availability and removes the pressure of trying to organise anything once your baby arrives.
If you’re expecting a baby and would like to photograph your newborn in a calm, safe studio environment, I’d be very happy to talk things through with you.
KIND WORDS
Julie is amazing at capturing memories that will last forever, I highly recommend her! Always hard deciding what pictures to have! The studio is very warm and welcoming, perfect for when our twins arrive and we have another newborn shoot her knowledge in newborn babies is great and makes everything flow well and easy for the parents!
We signed up to join her Baby Club as we know we would like more photoshoots in the near future.
I first met Julie in 2016 when she photographed my son at 4 weeks old. Julie was incredible managing to get him to sleep for all of his poses – something I had not managed myself at that point!
Her expertise with babies through her previous experience of working in maternity units was very evident and she made me feel at ease in a very relaxed environment at a time when I was struggling with a newborn!
She was also able to provide invaluable advice on sleeping and feeding routines which led to my son eventually sleeping through the night which I am eternally thankful for!
When I came to view the photos of the shoot, they did not disappoint either. They were all so beautiful and a wonderful memory of my little bundle of joy for years to come. I subsequently signed up to the Baby Club and visited Julie again when my son was 8 months and 21 months old.
Again she was great with my son and the photos were amazing – so polished and professional. I would definitely recommend Julie to anyone looking for a newborn photographer. Apart from being an amazing photographer, her previous experience with babies sets her apart from the crowd!
We had our son Teddys newborn shoot when he was just 8 days old. Julie’s studio is amazing, from the fridge you can use for baby’s milk etc, cakes laid out, kettle to use. it’s lovely and warm.
But most importantly Julie was amazing with our children, and we just sat back and enjoyed!
The photos were so special, Julie even made me a little video which still makes my cry!
Thank you x
