How to Choose the Right Newborn Photographer in Gloucestershire

Welcoming a newborn is one of life’s most precious moments, and having beautiful photos to remember those first days is priceless. But with so many photographers out there, how do you choose the right one in Gloucestershire? Here are a few tips to help you find a photographer who’s the perfect fit for you and your baby.

1. Look for Experience with Newborns
Newborns are delicate and unpredictable, so it’s important to choose a photographer who specializes in newborn photography. They should know how to safely pose babies, keep them comfortable, and capture those tiny details you’ll treasure forever.

2. Check Their Style
Every photographer has a unique style - some go for natural, minimal setups, while others love props and themed shoots. Browse portfolios to see if their style matches the images you want for your baby. We do a mixture of the two!

3. Read Reviews & Ask for Recommendations
Word-of-mouth is invaluable. Ask other parents or check online reviews to see how photographers handle sessions and interact with families.

4. Consider Location & Availability
For families in Lydney and the Forest of Dean, choosing a local photographer means less travel stress and a familiar, comfortable environment for your newborn. Booking early - often during your second or third trimester - ensures you’ll get the session you want.

5. Trust Your Instincts
Most importantly, pick someone you feel comfortable with. Newborn sessions can be long and relaxed, so you want a photographer who makes you feel at ease.
