Studio Newborn Photography in Lydney, Gloucestershire | £400
Hannah Elizabeth Photography is a studio newborn photographer in Lydney, Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, capturing relaxed, natural newborn and family portraits.
Newborn sessions are baby-led and unhurried, designed to gently preserve this fleeting stage in a calm, comfortable studio environment, creating timeless photographs you’ll treasure.
Newborn sessions are best booked during pregnancy to secure your preferred space around your baby’s arrival. I recommend booking during your second trimester, allowing us to plan around your due date and capture your little one during those precious first few weeks.
I have a lovely selection of newborn props, wraps and little outfits available for your baby, so there’s no need to bring anything along for them. Simply dress yourselves, bring whatever you need to feed your baby, and come along ready to relax. I’ll take care of the rest while you enjoy this special time together.
Book your newborn session during your second trimester and you'll receive a complimentary studio maternity session.

Studio newborn sessions typically last 2–4 hours and are completely relaxed and baby-led. There’s no rushing, with plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, changing and settling your baby as needed.
The session includes a mixture of individual newborn portraits, family and sibling photographs, with gentle guidance throughout. We simply work around your baby and follow their cues, keeping the experience calm and relaxed.

I recommend booking during your second trimester to reserve your space.
We’ll pencil in a provisional session date for approximately three weeks after your due date, helping us capture your baby during their ideal newborn stage.
Newborn sessions are best suited to babies under four weeks old, ideally within the first 21 days after birth where possible. During this stage, babies are often sleepier and more settled, allowing us to capture those beautiful curled-up poses and delicate newborn details.
Once your baby arrives, we’ll confirm the exact date. The provisional date is flexible where availability allows, so we can accommodate early or late arrivals.
If you discover me later in pregnancy or after your baby has arrived, you’re still welcome to get in touch. I’ll do my best to fit you in if space is available.

Absolutely! If your baby is older than four weeks, you’re still very welcome at the studio. We’ll simply take a more natural approach, focusing on beautiful family photographs, cuddles and the special bond you share with your little one.
For older babies, I don’t attempt traditional posed newborn images, such as beanbag poses or certain prop setups. Instead, we’ll focus on natural portraits that suit your baby’s age and stage.
If your little one is five months or older, you might also consider waiting until around 6–7 months for a sitter session. This is another wonderful milestone stage, full of smiles, curious expressions and growing personality as your baby learns to sit independently.
