Those first few weeks with your newborn pass in a blur of tiny fingers, sleepy cuddles and moments you'll wish you could keep forever.
At Yellow Blossom Photography, I create timeless newborn portraits for families who want to preserve these precious early days in beautiful photographs and keepsakes.
Based in Haverhill, Suffolk, my welcoming studio offers a relaxed, baby-led newborn photography experience for families across Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire. With gentle posing, beautiful wraps and carefully chosen props, every session is tailored to your baby and your family.
More than Just a photo, Memories to treasure
Your baby's first photographs deserve more than a place on your phone. From luxury albums and professionally printed photographs to beautiful wall art for your home, I'll help you turn these fleeting moments into something tangible to treasure for years to come.
Digital images are available too, so you can share your memories with loved ones while creating keepsakes your family can enjoy for generations.
Your newborn photography experience
Your baby's comfort and wellbeing always come first. Sessions are baby-led, allowing plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, changing and settling, so you can relax while I capture those tiny details and natural moments.
Whether you'd love timeless portraits of your newborn, beautiful family photographs or images with older siblings, your session will be carefully guided throughout.
When should I book my newborn photoshoot?
Newborn sessions are ideally photographed within the first two weeks after birth, when babies are often sleepier and naturally curl into those beautiful newborn poses.
I recommend enquiring during pregnancy to plan ahead, with your session date confirmed once your baby arrives.
What happens after my newborn session?
After your session, I'll carefully edit your baby's photographs and contact you to arrange your personal viewing appointment. You'll be able to see your images, choose your favourites and explore the albums, wall art and printed keepsakes available.
Let's preserve those precious first days before they become memories.

FAQ
When should I book my newborn photoshoot?
It’s recommended to reserve your newborn session during pregnancy, ideally shortly after your 20-week scan to secure availability.
Your session will be provisionally scheduled around your due date, then thoughtfully confirmed once your baby has arrived.
To provide an exceptional, unhurried experience, I welcome only one newborn session per day. This ensures my full time, care, and attention is devoted entirely to your family. As a result, availability is intentionally limited, with just one to two newborn sessions per week and a small number of newborn bookings accepted each month to allow for flexibility around each baby’s arrival.
What amenities are available at the studio?
My studio is equipped with everything you need for a stress-free visit:
- Parking: Free onsite parking directly outside the studio door.
- Facilities: Toilets, dedicated baby changing station, sink, fridge, and instant boiling water facilities.
- Complimentary Refreshments: Enjoy a selection of sandwiches, snacks, and a variety of hot and cold drinks throughout your visit so you can stay fully nourished and relaxed.
- High Street Access: Walking distance to Boots, Costa, Greggs, and local shops if you need any extra supplies.
Is my baby safe during the session?
Absolutely.
Your baby’s safety and comfort are always the priority. Every pose is gentle, natural, and carefully supported.
The studio is kept warm and calm throughout, creating a comfortable environment for your baby at all times.
What should we bring to the session?
You don’t need to bring much at all.
Everything needed for your baby is provided, including wraps, fabrics, and styling. You may wish to bring extra milk or feeds, a dummy if you use one, and anything you feel your baby may need for comfort.
How long does a newborn session last?
Newborn sessions are thoughtfully scheduled at 10am, allowing for a calm, unhurried session. Each session typically lasts around 2-3 hours, giving plenty of time for feeding, settling, and gently capturing a beautiful variety of images without ever rushing your baby.
To ensure you feel completely cared for, a selection of light lunch refreshments, drinks, and snacks will be provided for you to enjoy during your time in the studio.
When is the best time to photograph my baby?
Newborn sessions are ideally held within the first 5–21 days after birth, when babies are naturally sleepier and more settled.
That said, if your baby is already a little older, please don’t worry. I can still create beautiful images at any stage and offer newborn sessions up to 7-8 weeks of age.
What if my baby doesn’t sleep or needs feeding?
That’s completely expected.
Your session is fully baby-led, which means we allow plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, and settling whenever needed. There’s no rush, and no pressure for your baby to behave in a certain way.
Some of the most meaningful images come from those natural, in-between moments.
Can parents and siblings be included?
Yes – and it’s always encouraged.
Including parents and siblings helps tell the full story of this chapter and creates images that feel even more meaningful over time.
Where does the photoshoot take place?
All newborn sessions take place in my private studio in Haverhill, Suffolk, set within a beautifully restored Grade II listed building.
The studio is designed to feel calm, warm, and private, welcoming families from across Suffolk, Cambridge, Essex, and surrounding areas.
How many images will I receive?
After your session, you’ll be invited to view your images, where you’ll discover a beautifully curated collection of 30+ portraits from your baby’s first days.
