Newborn Photographer Southampton

Safe, Relaxed, Beautiful Newborn Photoshoots in Southampton

Welcoming a newborn baby into your life is a truly special experience, and capturing those precious early days is something you’ll treasure forever.

At Claire Grant Photography, we provide safe, relaxed, and beautiful newborn photoshoots at our specialist studio in Southampton. With over nine years of experience and specialised training in newborn posing, I understand how to create timeless images in a safe and soothing environment, ensuring both you and your baby are comfortable throughout the session.

My goal is to make sure every moment of your photoshoot feels calm and enjoyable. I take great care in positioning your little one for those perfect sleepy, curled-up poses, all while prioritising their safety. You’ll be able to sit back and enjoy watching these moments unfold, knowing that your baby is in expert hands. 

There’s nothing quite like the joy of seeing those early, delicate features captured in photographs you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

When is the Best Time for a Newborn Photoshoot?

The ideal time to capture those beautiful newborn moments is within the first 7-14 days after your baby is born. 

During this period, your little one is still in that sleepy, curled-up stage, allowing us to create those precious, peaceful poses that are so iconic in newborn photography. After around 2-3 weeks, babies begin to stretch out and become more alert, making it more challenging to capture those gorgeous poses we all love.

To ensure we get the best results, and are able to have your shoot during this very limited window of time, I recommend booking your newborn photoshoot well in advance, ideally before your baby arrives. 

This way, we can secure your session around your due date, with flexibility built in to accommodate early or late arrivals. Whether your baby arrives right on time or a little unexpectedly, I’ll make sure we have room in the schedule to capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments during this special window.

What clients have to say…..

Claire is an absolutely amazing photographer. We booked in with her last minute when our daughter came two months premature & despite not knowing an exact date she would be leaving NICU Claire fitted in our daughter around what worked for us even though she is very busy! We’re absolutely in love with the photos we received so much so we have booked in for her first birthday shoot. Highly recommend, Thank you.

Claire is a wonderful photographer. I am in awe of her skills with newborns. She made the whole process simple and calm. Our son was content the entire time. The end result was some outstanding photos for life. I couldn’t be happier or recommend her enough.

Had the most amazing experience with Claire, she was truly awesome! From beginning to end she was so welcoming and looked after our baby girl and let us sit back and relax. Not only that, her pictures are so beautiful with different poses, colours, and props we got some really lovely pictures that will be cherished forever. Really do recommend Claire to get those special newborn moments.
