My studio is nestled in a quiet part of leafy Wilmslow in East Cheshire, just minutes from the A34 bypass and the motorway. Easy to reach, and with space to park, my clients come from Cheadle, Stockport, Manchester and throughout Cheshire and the North West, not just Wilmslow and Alderley Edge.

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes peek at what a newborn session with me really looks like… gentle, natural posing with no themed props, just your tiny baby, exactly as they are. 💕

Thank you Mummy Anjali for taking these great shots of the session.

Your photographs deserve to live somewhere other t

Your photographs deserve to live somewhere other than your camera roll 🤍
One of the best ways to keep those memories alive is by framing them — seeing your babies, your family, your story on the wall every day truly changes how those moments feel.

If you’re not sure how to display them, my number one tip is to hop onto Pinterest and search “photo wall inspiration”. You’ll find endless ideas: gallery walls, minimal grids, statement frames, mixed sizes… whatever suits your home. Save a few you love and use them as a guide — it makes planning your wall so much easier.

✨ Christmas framing deadline:
If you’d like framed prints in time for Christmas, please place your order by 1st December. After that date I can’t guarantee delivery before the big day.

Let’s get your favourite moments out of your phone and up on your walls where they belong 🤍📸

Think newborn photography is only about sleeping babies? Think again!

While those peaceful sleepy shots do provide some of the most perfect poses, some of the most beautiful moments happen when babies are awake. The way they look around, stretch and make adorable faces. These are the real moments that tell the story of your baby’s first few days.

My top tip for dressing for a shoot.

Lay your outfits on the bed before - do they match or clash?

Comfort and coordination make for happy photos! And remember neutrals never go out of style. 🖤🤍

I’m home from a fulfilling weekend of photograph

I’m home from a fulfilling weekend of photography talk… it was mega!
We were even treated to some fresh headshots by none other than the amazing @victoriahaydnportraits
So I thought this would be the perfect time to say hey and introduce myself to any new followers!

I’m Lauren, a family photographer based in Wilmslow, Cheshire, specialising in maternity, newborn, baby, and family photography.

Photography, for me, is all about storytelling - capturing love, connection, and those fleeting moments that make family life so special. From the first newborn snuggles to first birthdays and beyond, I aim to create images that tell your story. Honestly, beautifully, and full of heart. 💛

✨ My diary is filling up fast, especially for autumn and winter sessions — so if you’re thinking about booking, now’s the perfect time to get in touch! I’d love to create something beautiful for your family.

📩 Pop me a message or head to the link in my bio to book your session.

🤰One moment, two moods – colour & black and white.

How incredible is the female body? The strength, the beauty, the magic ✨

Which do you prefer – colour or black & white?

Oh Henry 🥰 who knew a number balloon could bring so much fun?!

Henry and his family hold such a special place in my studio – his newborn photo is proudly displayed as one of my wall art samples, and moments from his breastfeeding session and first birthday are sprinkled across my website. So it was an absolute joy to welcome him back to celebrate his second birthday.

And let me tell you – there was no sitting still! We played catch with little balls, chased wheely toys across the studio, built towers, danced, and laughed until our cheeks ached 🥰✨

✨ Save this post if you’re dreaming of a fun, playful second birthday photoshoot for your little one!

How adorable are these two little miracles? 💕 Arriving into the world at just 24 weeks, they’ve shown incredible strength and are now thriving. Full of joy, cheekiness and character – it was such a privilege to capture their first big milestone with a cake smash 🥰

A question I get asked a lot when booking a newborn shoot is ‘I don’t know exactly when when baby will be born, how do I book?’

So, I pencil in your due date, and then once baby is born, we then set the date!

I only take on a limited number of due dates each month for this reason so don’t worry. I aim to photograph newborns within the first 10-20 days old so there’s plenty of time so set that date.

Booking ahead means you’re in the diary so drop me a message today if you’re due in 2025.

I’ve spoken to so many new mums recently who have told me they regret not booking a maternity shoot. When I ask why, they often say it was because they felt too self-conscious or thought they looked too bloated at the time.
That’s exactly why I love offering the option of ‘bump-only’ photos — a beautiful, simple way to capture the incredible changes your body is going through, without any pressure. It’s such a special chapter to record, and your future self will be so grateful you did.

✨ If you’d love to celebrate your bump, send me a message and I’ll share my maternity availability with you.

✨Not quite ready yet? Save this post for when the time feels right.

I loved welcoming Grace back to the studio – this time with her partner Wade and their beautiful baby girl, Wren. 💕 Having captured Grace’s maternity session, it feels so special to continue their journey with a newborn photoshoot and see their little family grow. What an honour to be a tiny part of such precious moments – lucky me!

September is here and already shaping up to be a busy one. If you’re due this Autumn, now’s the perfect time to secure your newborn session to avoid disappointment. 🍂✨
