A Relaxed Baby Photography Experience

Because They Won't Stay Little For Long

Your baby’s first year is filled with incredible changes.

Before you know it, those tiny newborn features have been replaced by cheeky smiles, curious expressions and a personality that’s beginning to shine.

Whether your little one is discovering the world from their tummy, reaching for tiny toes or proudly sitting on their own, these sessions celebrate the milestones that pass by so quickly during their first year, allowing you to hold on to the smiles and little moments that are so easy to forget with time.

Every session is designed around your baby.  From the moment you arrive at my studio in Little Bealings, you’ll enjoy a calm experience where your child can relax, smile and simply be themselves.

With over 15 years of experience photographing babies, I gently guide every session while giving your baby plenty of time to explore and play.

We wanted to get some professional photos done of our baby girl (4 months old)

I have to say they are the most beautiful pictures I have ever laid my eyes on!

I have a variety of pictures of her laughing and smiling, my daughter loved her. She was very welcoming and friendly and made the whole experience enjoyable! Will definitely return when my daughter can sit up for some more moments to be remembered forever

When Is The Best Time To Book?

Baby Sessions | 1 – 5 Months

These sessions are perfect for little ones from around one to five months old, before they’re sitting independently.

Whether you’ve simply been waiting for this stage or your baby has already grown beyond the newborn weeks, these sessions are a wonderful way to capture the next chapter.

Those first smiles, curious expressions and little interactions change so quickly, making this the perfect time to capture these portraits before your child reaches their next milestone.

Sitter Sessions | 6 – 11 Months

Once your baby is sitting confidently but isn’t yet walking, you’ve reached one of the sweetest stages to capture.  

Babies at this age are full of smiles, curiosity and character. They’re beginning to interact with the world around them, making every gallery wonderfully unique.

If your baby is just starting to sit but is still a little wobbly, that’s the perfect time to get in touch. We’ll usually book your session for around two to three weeks later, once they’re sitting confidently but before they’re on the move.

Before Your Session

Everything Is Planned Around You

Preparing for your session couldn’t be easier.  Baby and Sitter Sessions are designed to keep the focus entirely on your little one.

Baby Sessions are photographed safely on a large, supportive beanbag, allowing your baby to move naturally as I capture their smiles, expressions and growing personality.

Before your session, you’ll choose your preferred fabric colour, and you’re welcome to bring a few favourite outfits to add variety to your gallery.

Sitter Sessions offer a little more variety, with access to my collection of outfits, backgrounds and carefully selected props. 

You’re also very welcome to bring along your own outfits if there’s something special you’d like your little one to wear.

I also recommend browsing the Baby and Sitter Gallery for inspiration.

Light Grey
Dark Grey

Your Session

What Happens On The Day?

Your Baby or Sitter Session lasts up to 30 minutes and is designed to be relaxed, enjoyable and completely centred around your little one.

Every baby is different, so we’ll work at their pace throughout the session. Whether they need a little time to settle or simply a short pause between photographs, there’s never any pressure to rush.

Every smile, every giggle, every curious glance, there’s never any pressure to perform or sit perfectly.

With years of experience photographing babies, I know how to gently encourage natural interactions while keeping the session relaxed, playful and enjoyable.

The result?

Beautiful, authentic portraits that truly capture your baby’s character..

Your Images

Relive the Moment

Around 1 week after your session, your photographs will be carefully selected and professionally edited before being uploaded to your own private online gallery.

Your £99 Creative Fee includes three beautifully edited high resolution digital images, ready to download. Once you’ve viewed your gallery, you can choose your included favourites and decide whether you’d like to keep more of these precious memories.

Many parents find it difficult to choose just three favourites. If you’d love to keep more of your gallery, you can easily upgrade to one of the larger collections after viewing your photographs.

These photographs are wonderful for sharing with family and friends, while some families also choose to transform their favourite images into beautiful artwork for their home. If you’d like to explore creating something special for your walls, I’d be delighted to guide you through the options available.

“Every story is made up of chapters.

The sleepy newborn days become first smiles. Before long, those first smiles become sitting proudly on their own. Then tiny hands are reaching for yours as they take their very first steps.

You can’t stop time from turning the pages, but you can keep a little piece of each chapter forever.”

Baby & Sitter Photography Investment

The stage between tiny and toddler, captured just as they are

Your Baby or Sitter Session is secured with a non-refundable £99 Creative Fee, which includes the Simply Smiling Collection and up to 30 minutes in the studio.

If you’d like a larger collection after viewing your gallery, you can simply upgrade online:

5 digital images – £149 (an additional £50)

10 digital images – £199 (an additional £100)

There’s no need to decide before your session. Once your gallery is ready, you can simply choose the collection that’s right for you.

These sessions are designed to celebrate your baby’s milestones, keeping the focus entirely on them. If you’re looking to include parents, siblings or the whole family, my ‘Family’ and ‘Cake Smash’ sessions offer the perfect opportunity to create photographs together.

Absolutely loved Georgina’s photo session we attended. I specifically asked for an uncle and niece photo shoot. During the session my daughter took some time to warm up. Georgina was very patient and made the session fun which ensure that some lovely photos were taken. We will definitely be returning!

We had the most wonderful experience with Georgina, capturing some magical maternity photos. I was made to feel so comfortable and confident, which really came through in the photos. I’m so glad we chose Georgina and will definitely be going back for baby/family photos in the future.

Georgina was recommended to me by my sister who had recently had a shoot with her. Being an actor I always need new headshots for my portfolio and this is an area that she is looking to branch into more moving forward. She was wonderful, very welcoming and friendly. We had a lovely shoot, wasn’t rushed, she directed me well and I can’t wait to see the photos! Will definitely be going back to her again for my next set! Especially as she does deals for repeat customers! Definitely would recommend her to anyone wanting some pictures done.
