Baby shower photographer Surrey capturing special moments

A baby shower photographer Surrey session is a beautiful way to capture some fun celebrations before your gorgeous baby arrives.
I love seeing a room of your besties which is filled with love, laughter and excitement for your future. Having a photographer allows you to relive every thoughtful detail and emotional moment.

This recent baby shower session took place at Leatherhead Golf Club. The glowing mum-to-be hosted a stunning celebration in a private room with around twenty girlfriends. It was a truly special afternoon to record.

Stylish planning

This baby shower had a Ralph Lauren teddy theme which brought everything together beautifully. The styling was carefully planned with incredible attention to detail throughout the room from the display board, to gift table and cake table. 
The cake was absolutely stunning and became a real focal point. It looked too good to eat! Guests also admired the beautifully designed biscuits, which matched the theme perfectly.

Fun games and meaningful moments

The afternoon included a fun quiz where guests guessed details about the baby. This brought lots of laughter and friendly competition to the room. Guests also shared messages of love and hopes for the baby boy both in written notes and in emotionally speeches. These words will become treasured memories for years to come. Capturing these moments is a key part of a baby shower session.

Celebrating with afternoon tea and thoughtful gifts

Guests enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea together and everyone went home with thoughtful gifts including honey pots and the beautiful biscuits.
It was a perfect way to thank guests for being part of the celebration.

I wish this lovely family so much luck and joy in the coming weeks. I cannot wait to plan their newborn session and capture their next chapter.

Walton Baby Photography – Creating calm and beautiful memories

Walton baby photography is all about slowing things down and capturing your family in the most natural and meaningful way. Those early weeks and months with your baby pass in a blur. Having gentle, heartfelt photographs lets you remember exactly how this time felt. By holding sessions in your own home, baby photography becomes relaxed, personal and perfectly suited to your new family routine.

I loved this recent session for this beautiful baby boy. The parents were doing so well. Baby was calm and relaxed and it was such a treat to capture them.

Why Choose At Home Walton Baby Photography

One of the biggest benefits of baby photography is staying in the comfort of your own home. There is no pressure to travel anywhere or work around studio times. Everything you need is already nearby, including feeds, spare outfits, and comfy places to cuddle.

Sessions are completely baby led, with plenty of time for feeding, settling and breaks whenever needed. This calm approach keeps everyone comfortable and allows beautiful, authentic moments to unfold naturally.

When Is the Best Time for Walton Baby Photography

Well – you get to choose the timing. Some parents love photographing their newborn within the first month while they are tiny and sleepy. Others prefer to wait until their baby begins to smile, interact or even sit up on their own.

Every stage brings something special and your session can be planned around what matters most to you and your family.

Family Images and Baby Only Portraits

Your baby photography session will include a lovely blend of family photographs and images of your baby on their own. We will capture gentle cuddles, quiet moments together and the connection between you, as well as close ups of tiny fingers, toes and expressions that change so quickly.

Let me tell the story of your family right now. I can create timeless images you will treasure long after these early days have passed.

This session is a lovely example of my approach to natural baby photography Surrey. I capture babies in calm, relaxed sessions. Every photograph tells a real story.

I have photographed this mummy many times before. Both for her business and family photography. Being invited back to photograph her new baby boy was such a treat.

I have 15 years’ experience photographing babies. Over the years, I have learned how to make sessions smooth, gentle and enjoyable for both baby and parents. I give lots of advice about preparing for your session. This helps everything run easily and keeps everyone relaxed.

A Calm and Happy Baby Natural Baby Photography Surrey

Everyone was doing well when I arrived on the day. Baby was awake and feeding happily. Parents were calm and enjoying the moment. These sessions are always gentle and led by the baby’s pace.

This session took place at their home, which made everything comfortable and easy for the family. Having familiar surroundings helps baby settle and makes capturing natural moments much simpler.

Capturing Real Moments

I focus on genuine, natural moments. Cuddles, quiet smiles, little yawns and stretches. These early days pass quickly so timeless photographs help you remember.  I always include parents too. It’s beautiful to show connection, love and care.

I also photograph some small details, like tiny hands and feet. These add variety and help tell the full story of your newborn’s early days.

Planning Your Baby Session – Natural Baby Photography Surrey

It is best to plan your session in advance. I tend to book about 1 to 2 months ahead. Early planning ensures you can get a time that works well for you and your baby. Being prepared and organised makes the day feel calm and easy.

I really loved this bump photoshoot Guildford Surrey.

This gorgeous couple are booked onto my three session baby package, and started with a bump photoshoot Guildford Surrey. The sessions typically take place over a time period of 12 to 18 months. You can start with a maternity/bump session or a newborn or young baby session. You can then choose at what stages you would like the following two sessions.

This couple wanted to start with a bump photoshoot which also included their very cute two year old son. We had a really lovely time wandering around their local park. This is a special place for them because they go there almost daily to entertain their little boy. We took some natural pictures as we went around. It is always nice to have lots of different combinations to tell your story. Some of you all as a family, some of you with each of your child or children. I’m more than happy to include pets as well if you have a dog or cat or anything else!

A maternity photography session provides a lovely opportunity to celebrate the special journey of pregnancy. It captures the beauty and anticipation of this time in a woman’s life, preserving memories that will be treasured for years to come. These sessions also allow expectant parents to document the growth of their family, capturing the love and connection between partners as they prepare to welcome their new arrival. They also provide an opportunity for mothers-to-be to embrace their changing bodies with confidence and pride, empowering them to feel beautiful during this significant life stage.

Bump photography sessions create a lasting legacy of love as families eagerly await the arrival of their newest member.

Baby photographer in Cobham

I love being a Cobham baby photographer because I love babies! I don’t know if it is that heavenly new baby smell or seeing all their cute little tiny toes and fingers. But these little miracles always makes me broody! Being a newborn photographer I get to meet so many families and their gorgeous babies.

It was lovely capturing this family who had recently expanded to four! This sweet little boy was very proud to be a big brother to his new baby sister. The session took place in their home. It’s by far the best place for a baby session. It means you are relaxed being at home with everything you need to hand.

The sessions takes around two hours with plenty of time for feeding if need be.  If you do have older siblings we can easily get some lovely pictures of them by themselves too. Of course, it’s lovely to get some sibling shots, some of you all together and each of you with the children.

It’s nice to include any important things like blankets or booties, especially if they have been knitted by someone special!

It is best to give me as much notice as possible when considering your session date. Although I will always try to squeeze in last minute requests! If you are pregnant and looking for a newborn session it is preferable to contact me when you are around 6 to 7 months pregnant. Maybe you would like a bump photography session too? You may consider a newborn session when your baby is under one month. Or prefer to go for a 1 to 6 month session when you are more in the rhythm of life with a new baby!

Surrey baby photography package

I would love to tell you more about my Surrey baby photography package. The three sessions take place over a period of about 18 months. You may wish to start with a maternity session, or perhaps a newborn. Then we may well capture your baby six, nine months, a year or around 18 months. Each of these are very special milestones to record.

I first met this lovely family when they had their newborn session. They had their second session when their little boy was about 6 months, and then this their final session, at around one year.

All their sessions took place in their home, garden or surrounding woodland. The bluebells looked particularly amazing. Being in your home, particularly for your newborn session, means that you are very relaxed with everything you need.

Before your session, I will send you a guide to preparing. This will include advice about what to wear and want to have close to hand. If we’re doing a baby session in your home it’s always a good idea to have the heating on high to make sure your baby is warm enough.

The baby package sessions are so special because you can document their first year of life when they change so quickly. Your baby will go from being a helpless newborn to smiling toddler before you know it!

It’s always a good idea to plan ahead for your baby sessions. I like to do the bump sessions at approximately seven months.

Baby photoshoot Guildford Surrey

This lovely new family were looking for a Baby photoshoot Guildford Surrey. The beautiful baby boy had arrived a couple of weeks earlier. So it was the perfect time to capture them as a family together. The shoot took place in their lovely home. I tend to do newborn sessions in your own home because then you are most comfortable with everything to hand.

Before your session, I’ll offer advice about what to wear and what to have to hand. I will also remind you to put the heating on quite high before I arrive, so the baby is nice and toasty (because they will have less clothes on!). It’s nice to include any special gifts you may have received from family and friends, such as teddies or booties and blankets.

The session tends to be around 2 to 3 hours. This mostly depends on feeding because your baby is the boss (!) and if they need feeding this might take quite a long time mid shoot!  But we want your baby to be happy So no problem to take as many breaks as you like in order for everyone to be relaxed and enjoying time together.

I tend to take pictures of you all as a family and then each of the parents with the baby and on their own. If you have other children of course they are welcome to join in as well.

I love to get some detail shots as well. It’s lovely to record their little folds and creases, tiny hands and feet.

Baby photoshoot Guildford Surrey // Nicola Light Photography

In the summer I was the Farnham baby photographer for this gorgeous family of three. I was lucky enough to have photographed them twice before as they are on my baby programme! This involves capturing families three times during the first 12-18 months of a baby’s life. You can also include a maternity session, if you wish.

This family had chosen a maternity session, a newborn session and then this 6 month session. Use the links to follow their journey.

It’s lovely getting to know a family at this special time. Families often then stay with me for years, especially if other children follow after. It’s a privilege to watch them thrive and grow.

This little chap was lucky to have his Grandmother along for the shoot too. It was very sweet to have a traditional Chinese hat and toys along too. You are welcome to bring along anything you would like to make it more personal to you. I usually recommend a favourite book, cuddly or other special toy.

This shoot was on a beautiful dry day. Please don’t be concerned that it will rain during your session. If it is forecast to rain we will keep a close eye on the weather right up until the time of the shoot.  An occasion light shower is usually ok, but anything more substantial and we will postpone. Often this is on the same day, as I ask you to keep the rest of the day free in case we need to adjust the timings a little. Otherwise it will be on an alternative date. I know we think of England as being quite a wet country but only a handful of sessions every year have to be moved due to the weather.

Do get in touch to discuss a baby or family session.

Are you expecting a baby and looking for a Surrey bump baby photographer? I would love to help.  This lovely couple wanted to capture those precious last weeks before welcoming their first baby.

We took the pictures in their garden so it was comfortable and relaxing for them. It is always special talking to a couple who are about to become a family. Their levels of excitement and nervousness are rising so I try to reassure that it will be a wonderful experience. No amount of reading books really prepares you for the actual day, but incredibly your body takes over and you just know instinctively what to do!

I tend to do the bump sessions at around 35 weeks. At this time you probably have a good sized bump, but without feeling overly uncomfortable as you reach the finishing line! The choice of location is yours. Perhaps you would like to be close to home. Or there might be somewhere local that is special to you as a couple. If there is nowhere in particular I am more than happy to suggest somewhere lovely.

The shoot takes about an hour or two, it depends where we are going and if it involves some walking. There is no rush at all. If you would like to have a change of clothes to mix it up a bit, you’re welcome.

There might be something special that you would like to bring along like a teddy or booties you have bought for the baby.

If you would like to see further examples of bump or baby photography check out this information page.

Otherwise feel free to contact me to chat through ideas for your session.

(My diary gets booked up ahead so do allow yourself plenty of time!)
