Why book a newborn photoshoot at E L Woodgate Photography

Your newborn photographer in Amersham

Your newborn photoshoot will likely be one of the first (if not the first outing with your little one), so you want to ensure the whole experience is as warm and enjoyable as being in the comfort of your own home.

When you book with me, you’re treated like family from the very first conversation to the moment your bespoke artwork is installed in your home.

You’ll find:

  • A specialist, baby-led workflow to create a stunning gallery of posed sleepy images while keeping baby totally relaxed and safe

  • Handcrafted printed artwork selected specifically for your newborn session

  • Multi award-winning photography

  • Over 10 years’ experience, so you know your most precious memories are in good hands

How I keep your baby safe

Your newborn's safety and comfort are my number one priority. I have trained with some of the country's leading newborn photographers and advocates of safe practices during newborn photography. Here are some of the precautions taken during your session with me:

  • I am fully DBS checked, insured and have both safeguarding and paediatric first aid training

  • Babies are never left unattended, room is heated to a comfortable temperature and baby is monitored for signs of overheating especially when wrapped

  • Any positions that can reduce circulation or compromise airways are avoided

  • Composite images (editing two images together) are utilised to ensure baby is fully supported at all times

  • If baby shows any signs of discomfort going into any position we move on

  • Closed cup policy with hot drinks in the studio

  • Fabrics washed between each session and hand sanitiser used throughout session

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is your studio located?
My studio is in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, with easy access from Chesham, The Chalfonts, Chorleywood, and surrounding areas.

When is the best time to book a newborn photoshoot?
I recommend booking while you’re still pregnant — ideally after your 20-week scan — to secure availability.

 

How soon after birth should the newborn photography session happen?
The ideal time is between 5–14 days after birth, when your baby is still sleepy and flexible for gentle posing. If your baby is older than this we can still get gorgeous images.

What if my baby is early or late?
I take on a limited number of sessions each month, which means I can adjust your booking if your baby arrives earlier or later than expected. 

Can we include siblings or parents?
Yes, family members are welcome in full sessions — these images often become some of the most treasured.

 

How long is a newborn photoshoot?
Most sessions last 2–3 hours, with plenty of time for feeding, changing, and soothing.

How much does the newborn session cost?
Session fees start from £99, with packages designed to suit different needs and budgets.

How long after the session will I see my images?
You’ll return for your viewing appointment around 2–3 weeks after your session.

Kind words

"Patient and professional"

"For a first time mum with no experience of photoshoots at all Emma made us feel so relaxed. Considering my son decided to be very uncooperative with sleep, feeding and making a mess Emma was still able to get amazing photos and did so with such patience and professionalism, at no point did we feel rushed. Was such a lovely first time experience, thank you so much." Claire, Watford
