10 Years of Newborn Photography in Southampton — And Still True to My Style

This year marks something incredibly special for me — my 10th year as a newborn photographer here in Southampton. A whole decade of welcoming brand-new little humans into my studio, watching families grow, and doing the job that first began as a dream when I was pregnant with my own baby.

Ten years later, so much has changed…
But one thing hasn’t.

My style.

A Style That’s Grown — Without Changing

Photography trends come and go.
Over the past decade, we’ve seen everything from dark and moody tones to heavily themed setups and bold colour explosions.

But from the very beginning, my heart has always been in the same place:

✨ Soft, gentle tones
✨ Beautiful, posed newborn portraits
✨ Timeless images that never date

I’ve always believed your baby should be the focus — not the props, not the trends, not the distractions. That’s why my work has consistently stayed true to a classic, light, pastel and neutral style that feels just as beautiful today as it did 10 years ago.

When parents look back at their images years from now, I want them to feel emotional — not like their photos belong to a passing trend from “back then.”

Why I Never Chased Trends

It’s not that trends are wrong — they can be fun and creative! But newborn photography, to me, has always been about:

🤍 Simplicity
🤍 Safety
🤍 Connection
🤍 Tiny details you never want to forget

Your baby will only be this small once. Their flaky skin, curled-up poses, and delicate features deserve to be captured in a way that feels pure and timeless, not busy or overpowering.

By keeping my style consistent, families who return to me with their second or third baby know exactly what to expect — and their galleries sit beautifully together on the wall at home.

Experience Makes a Difference

While my style has stayed the same, my skills, knowledge, and confidence have grown every single year.

Over the last decade I’ve:

💛 Photographed hundreds of newborns
💛 Continued training in safe newborn posing
💛 Helped teach other photographers how to pose babies safely
💛 Learned how to gently soothe, settle, and work around each baby’s unique needs

Newborn photography isn’t just about pretty pictures — it’s about creating a calm, safe environment where parents can relax, knowing their baby is in experienced hands.

That peace of mind is something only time and dedication can build.

A Decade of Trust

One of the greatest honours of these 10 years has been seeing families come back to me again and again. First babies become big brothers and sisters. Tiny newborns I once posed now walk into the studio for milestone sessions.

Being trusted to capture these memories is something I never take for granted.

Still Me, Still Timeless

So here I am, 10 years in — still using soft tones, still carefully posing tiny babies, still creating classic portraits that won’t date.

Because while styles change…
new life, new love, and those tiny newborn details never go out of style.

If you’re expecting and looking for timeless newborn photography in Southampton, I’d love to welcome you into the studio and create something beautiful for your family 🤍
