Those first days are a blur — tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, and the kind of quiet moments you don’t realise you’ll miss until they’ve passed. Newborn baby portraits are a way to hold onto that season, with photographs that feel natural, timeless, and truly your family.
If you’re searching for a newborn photographer in Northern Ireland, I’d love to welcome you to my purpose-built studio at Rose Cottage Studio, Lurgan, designed for comfort, calm, and beautiful light.
Prices from £100
Includes 1 hour studio time, editing and 30 min viewing session to choose your photos and four 7×5 prints or two 10×8 prints. Digital images and framed prints are also available.
Why book newborn baby portraits?
Newborn sessions aren’t just about “cute photos” (though you’ll absolutely get those). They’re about:
- Capturing your baby’s tiny details before they change
- Creating heirloom images for your home and for future generations
- Celebrating your new family — including siblings and parents
- Freezing a moment in time you’ll never get back
Many parents tell me they feel exhausted and overwhelmed in the early days. That’s normal — and it’s exactly why a studio session can be such a gift. You can relax, slow down, and let me take care of everything.
A purpose-built newborn photography studio in Lurgan
My studio is set up specifically for portrait photography, with a calm pace and a comfortable environment for new parents and babies.
You’ll find:
- A warm, cosy space (newborns love warmth)
- Soft, flattering lighting for natural-looking portraits
- A relaxed, unhurried approach with plenty of time for feeds and settling
- A private, comfortable setting for parents
Because the studio is purpose built, everything is designed around one thing: creating beautiful portraits while keeping your baby safe, comfortable, and settled.
Award-winning photography experience you can trust
When you’re choosing a newborn photographer, experience matters — not just with cameras, but with people.
I’ve been a professional photographer for over 25 years, and I’m proud to be one of the most awarded photographers in Northern Ireland, with 7 UK photography titles across wedding, fashion, beauty, press, and creative portrait work.
Awards don’t matter for their own sake — but they do reflect a consistent standard of quality, creativity, and professionalism. When you book your newborn baby portraits with me, you’re choosing an experienced photographer who knows how to create flattering, natural images in any situation.
When is the best time for newborn portraits?
The ideal time for traditional sleepy newborn portraits is usually within the first 5–14 days. That said, every baby is different — and every family’s recovery is different.
If your baby is a little older, don’t worry. You can still have a beautiful session with more open-eyed moments, stretches, and natural interaction.
If you’re currently expecting, it’s worth booking early — newborn slots are limited so I can keep the schedule calm and flexible.
What happens during a newborn session?
My approach is gentle, patient, and baby-led.
A typical newborn portrait session includes:
- Time to settle in and get comfortable
- A mix of baby-only portraits and family images
- Simple, timeless styling that keeps the focus on your baby
- Plenty of breaks for feeding, changing, and cuddles
You don’t need to worry about your baby “behaving” — newborn sessions are designed around real life.
Newborn portraits with parents and siblings
Some of the most meaningful images are the ones that show connection — the way you hold your baby, the way an older sibling leans in, the quiet pride on a parent’s face.
If you’d like family portraits included, we’ll keep it simple and natural. I’ll guide you gently so you never feel awkward or posed.

The studio is based in Lurgan, and I regularly photograph families from:
- Lurgan
- Craigavon

How to book your newborn baby portrait session
Newborn sessions are best booked in advance (ideally during pregnancy), then we confirm the exact date once your baby arrives.
To enquire about availability, pricing, and what to expect, get in touch and tell me:
- Your due date (or baby’s date of birth)
- Where you’re travelling from
- Whether you’d like family and sibling portraits included
