Why You Should Book a Newborn Photography Session in Gloucestershire
Welcoming a new baby into the world is one of life’s most beautiful moments — and it goes by in the blink of an eye. As a newborn photographer in Lydney, Gloucestershire, I specialise in capturing those precious early days with soft, natural images that you'll treasure forever. If you're considering newborn photography in the Forest of Dean or surrounding areas, here’s why you should book early and make it a part of your baby’s first story.
The first two weeks after birth are a magical — and brief — time. Babies are still curly, sleepy, and content to be gently posed. This makes it the perfect time for a professional newborn photoshoot. As a Gloucestershire newborn photographer, I recommend booking your session between 5–14 days after birth to make the most of this short window.
It’s easy to snap a few photos on your phone, but nothing compares to the detail, emotion, and artistry of a professional session. I use soft lighting, baby-led posing, and a warm, relaxed studio environment here in Lydney to create timeless newborn portraits that reflect your family’s unique story.
Plus, I ensure safety and comfort at every stage — your baby is in trusted hands.
Located in the heart of Lydney, I serve families across the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, and nearby towns like Coleford, Chepstow, and Cinderford. Choosing a local baby photographer means more flexibility, less travel stress, and someone who understands your community. Many parents tell me how relaxed they felt staying close to home for their newborn session.
My Baby’s First Year photography package includes three milestone sessions:
Newborn (0–2 weeks)
Sitter (around 6 months)
First birthday session (often a cake smash!)
Booking your newborn session is the first step toward capturing the entire journey — from tiny toes to first steps.
The best time to book your newborn session is during pregnancy — ideally in the second or third trimester. I’ll reserve your due date and adjust as needed once baby arrives. Sessions take place in my cozy Lydney photography studio, with full guidance, props, and styling included.
Booking early ensures availability and gives you peace of mind.
