From the moment you enquire, everything is designed to feel simple, supportive and relaxed.
With nine years of experience, I want every family who visits my Dundonald studio to feel comfortable, confident and completely at ease. My sessions are gentle, fully guided and thoughtfully planned around you and your little one — allowing plenty of time for feeds, cuddles and settling, without pressure to make everything perfect.
You never need to worry about what to wear, how to pose, whether your dog or big sister can be included, or whether your baby is “doing it right”. From styling advice to gentle direction that brings out natural expressions, genuine smiles and laughter, I’ll guide you every step of the way.
My aim is for you to relax, enjoy the experience and leave knowing that your family’s memories are being taken care of — from your first enquiry to receiving your finished photographs.
A warm, welcoming home studio in Dundonald, designed with growing families in mind.
With private parking, a secure garden and a relaxed home-from-home atmosphere, the studio is the perfect space for newborns, busy toddlers and even four-legged family members.
Conveniently located just outside Belfast and within easy reach of Bangor, Newtownards, Lisburn, Newtownabbey and Antrim, it’s a place where parents can relax while beautiful memories are created.
I’m currently welcoming bookings for sessions up until January 2027, before taking maternity leave from February to July. If you’d love to capture this special chapter, I’d love to hear from you.
clear answers, calm planning and no pressure to know everything before baby arrives
The best time to pre-book your newborn session is during pregnancy, ideally shortly after your 20-week scan. Rather than booking a fixed date, I reserve space around your due date so there’s no pressure if baby decides to arrive early or keep us waiting a little longer.
When you arrive, everything is ready for you. The studio is warm, calm and fully stocked with beautiful wraps, blankets and props based on your styling preferences. Many parents tell me it’s the first chance they’ve had to sit down together and relax since baby arrival.
Your baby’s comfort and safety always comes first. Newborn sessions are completely baby-led, which means we stop whenever feeding, changing or cuddles are needed. There is never any rush, and plenty of time is allowed for your little one to settle naturally.
These first days aren’t just about your baby – they’re about your growing family. We’ll create beautiful parent, sibling and family photographs that capture the connection and love you share during this special chapter. Yes, this includes those furry pooches too!
Once your session is complete, I carefully hand-edit every image, , ensuring each photograph reflects the timeless style you see throughout my portfolio. Only the very best images are selected for your viewing gallery to create a keepsake moment of 25 images of your new journey.
Your photographs deserve more than a screen. From framed wall art and luxury albums to digital collections, I’ll help you choose the perfect way to enjoy your memories for years to come.
“Don’t worry – it’s completely normal.”
One of the most common questions I receive is what happens if baby doesn’t arrive on their due date. The good news is that we don’t book a fixed session date before baby arrives.
When you book, I reserve space around your due date in my diary. Once your little one is here, simply send me a message within the first 48 hours so I can begin planning your session.
Your official session date is then arranged around your recovery, your baby’s needs, and any paternity leave your partner may have. My aim is to make the experience as relaxed and stress-free as possible for your growing family.
After viewing your finished gallery in the studio 1-2 week after, you’ll have the opportunity to choose the images and products that best suit your family.
Whether you’re looking for a small collection of digital images, statement wall art for your home, or a handcrafted album to treasure for generations, I’ll help you find the perfect option.
There is no pressure and no need to make decisions before your session. You’ll have the chance to see your images first and choose what you truly love.
