Perfect for those tender early days, my newborn sessions take place in my natural-light home studio in Grampound, near Truro - or in the comfort of your own home across Cornwall.
These sessions are slow-paced, baby-led, and intuitive, allowing space for feeds, cuddles, and whatever your little one needs to feel safe.
I photograph your family with softness and care, capturing the quiet wonder, little details and deep connection of this fleeting time.
My books are open for June - December 2025!
If you’re looking for a newborn photographer in Cornwall who puts comfort first and captures honest emotion - I’d love to hear from you.
Maternity photography
Capture the beauty of your pregnancy too - intimate studio sessions or outdoors between week 30 - 34.
There is only now. And it doesn’t need to look a certain way. My approach to newborn photography is gentle, baby-led, and rooted in presence. Whether you’re in my calm home studio in Grampound or snuggled up at home, these sessions are about noticing what’s real - the quiet, in-between moments that matter most.
Life with a new baby isn’t staged or polished, and your photos shouldn’t be either. I’m here to capture it as it unfolds - with softness, care, and intention.
“Our advice if you’re deciding on a photographer ... LOOK NO FURTHER! Michelle is a truly special photographer who is able to adapt her craft to get excellent photos no matter the subject. We had a maternity shoot followed by a newborn shoot and both sets of photos are an extremely special snapshot in time that will be treasured forever. You won’t regret it.”
Why not capture the amazing journey from newborn baby to one year old with a Watch Me Grow Photography package - a series of three photoshoots capturing the milestones of your baby’s first year.

So much heart goes into every session - the planning, the gentle unfolding, the trust. And when it’s done, you’ll receive a gallery of natural, emotive images you’ll come back to again and again.
But here’s the question: how will these memories live in your everyday life?
As a family and newborn photographer in Cornwall, I believe your story deserves more than just a folder on your phone or a hard drive that’s easy to forget. These moments are meant to be held, seen, and shared - not stored away.
That’s why I offer beautiful, tangible options to bring your photos to life, from soft cotton prints to keepsake albums.
“We had a newborn shoot with Michelle and found the whole experience very relaxed and professional. My 10 day old arrived unsettled and demanding to be fed, which didn’t phase Michelle at all - I had plenty of unrushed time to feed my daughter while she amused my son! She managed to get some great family shots as well as the newborn images, despite my 4 year old (and my husband!) being less than keen on having their photo taken usually.
The finished photos were amazing (I was meant to select a small digital bundle but ended up getting the package with them all included as I was unable to choose!) I would definitely recommend!”
“Aw we absolutely love them. Thank you ever so much for being so patient on the day and taking the time to get the perfect shots. It was so appreciated.”
