True wealth is the value of your memories
Newborn Photographer | Cornwall
why this is important
I can still remember the moment my baby was placed on my chest for the first time after having an emergency C-section. His warm squidgy weight and the ‘realness’ of his little body was the most reassuring thing I’d ever felt. It’s a surreal but visceral memory, that moment. I thought ‘oh, here you are!’ I felt like I’d known him my whole life - as if he’d always existed somehow, in my soul.
How can anything prepare you for that kind of love? Like a piece of you now literally exists as another person? I felt like I finally belonged in my life, because he was here. At last… a reason for being.
Finally holding your tiny newborn baby in your arms is one of the most transformational moments of your life because your entire point of view changes, forever.
It’s so profound, it almost exceeds the word ‘love’ - but that’s what we call it.
Why wouldn’t you want to capture & conserve this life-changing event with utmost reverence and care? How could you not want to cherish each and every tiny detail before they change - as they will? These images capture something utterly precious, painfully fleeting, and extraordinarily exquisite.
My name is Michelle and a newborn photographer in the heart of Cornwall. My passion is to help you capture the emotions of the first few weeks with your newborn baby beautifully, honestly and with the reverence it deserves.
For sleepy curled up pictures, newborn photoshoots ideally happen within 2 weeks after birth.
Advance booking highly recommended to avoid disappointment and longer wait times for images.
“Michelle provided a fantastic service from start to finish. She has curated the most amazing photos that we will forever treasure and we are so thankful. Her style of photography has captured everything we could ever ask for.”
If you missed the newborn window (up to 6 weeks old) and have an older baby, head over to the Babies & Children page to find out about those sessions. Outdoor family sessions are also available if you want to have your newest family member captured as part of this type of shoot.
