Two perfect little girls photographed at their newborn twin photography session, South London. I love photographing twins. A newborn photography session always feels very magical to me but even more so when there is more than one baby to photograph. It’s wonderful to curl twins up together and sneak in quite a few cuddles along the way!
Mum & Dad were super relaxed during our session which definitely helped to capture so many beautiful shots. These sessions do take a little extra time. There are two babies to feed and settle after all but I’m more than happy to wait to get the perfect shots. Sometimes I’ll photograph one of the twins whilst the other is being fed or changed. I have to work quickly to position them together and grab these poses. Although this picture makes them look as though they have been sleeping peacefully like that for hours. I have photographed many twins over the years and feel very comfortable working with more than one newborn. It’s important to keep the atmosphere calm, relaxed and to handle all newborns with care. Moving them slowly, with consideration to their comfort and safety at all times.
Twinkle toes – capturing newborn baby toes and fingers is something I always do. I love this particular shot of their toes gently touching. They were sleeping, wrapped up together in one of my vintage crochet baby wraps.
Tomorrow I will be returning to London bridge to photograph another set of twins. I first met them last year when they were just two weeks old. This time I’ll be at their home to photograph them as one year olds! A totally different type of photography session. One full of energy, giggles, singing and fun. I can’t wait to see them and their parents again. I have one of their newborn pictures available to view in my portfolio here.

I was so happy to return recently and photograph this beautiful family at their home in Putney. I have photographed them several times over the years. From their pregnancy & newborn photography sessions to their one year celebration photography sessions. Each time I am treated to such a warm welcome from these two little ones.
It is always lovely to see how they have changed and grown. Their first born is now a very grown up big sister. She loves her little brother and was only too happy to kiss and cuddle him for the pictures.
I think they are so gorgeous in these pictures together. I’ve added one of their portraits from their newborn session to my portfolio which you can see here. She still looks just a pleased as punch with her little brother.
It is wonderful to continue to document these little ones as they grow. Without a doubt one of the most rewarding parts of my work is building relationships with my Clients. I love to think of these pictures being with the family for generations. Passed on to their children & grandchildren.
It has been a busy start to January and I’m excited about the New Year. Lots of resolutions in place and exciting plans for the year ahead!
Wishing you all a happy weekend,

” Elle photographed our daughter Olivia when she was three weeks old. I found Elle on the Internet and from our first phone conversation I knew she was the perfect person to take these special photographs. Elle was completely patient and a calming influence on Olivia during the session, as we had to stop several times to feed! The afternoon that Elle spent in our home was a wonderful experience and great fun. The photographs she took were absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I’d hoped for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Elle to anyone, and certainly hope to use her again as my baby grows.”

A beautiful Mum-to-be, portraits taken at a recent Pregnancy Photography session, Wimbledon.
Looking so effortlessly elegant in these black & white shots. I think this is such a beautiful way to capture & celebrate your pregnancy. One of the most frequent comments I hear from my Clients is how much they miss their bump. It’s something I can relate to, I really missed feeling my little one moving inside me. Pregnancy portraits are about enjoying the shape of your body and feeling proud. It is an incredible time and one that passes very quickly. I think it’s wonderful to create a lasting memory.
The classic feel of black & white portraits capture the spirit and feeling of this time. I love my pregnancy portraits. For me they captured exactly how I was feeling at the time. The anticipation and excitement with my first pregnancy. The joy of adding to our family and including my daughter in the pictures with my second pregnancy. Both have provided me with a lasting memory of a truly special time. I always hope that I am giving the same experience and history to the many new families I meet across London.
Thank you all so much for choosing to capture these precious moments and more with me in 2016! It has been a fantastic year and I am so grateful to all of the families I have met & worked with.
Wishing all of you a very Happy New Year! May 2017 bring you love, hope & happiness.

Pregnancy Photography session, Wimbledon

A lovely Newborn Baby Photography Brockley SE4 session. Introducing the very gorgeous Matilda. Such a peaceful little one and a pure joy to photograph.
I love her tiny toes picture, you can see all the gorgeous creases. Cupped gently in her mummy’s hands to show the scale.
This newborn session was brought as a photography gift for the new parents. I’m always thrilled to do these sessions. A newborn photography session is thoughtful & unique gift. Ideally these are purchased before the baby arrives to ensure I can fit their session in within the first 1 – 3 weeks. I give a 1-3 week timescale as although the first two weeks is ideal I like to give a little more flexibility. I will chat to the new parents to see how they are feeling and arrange a date for when they feel ready for their portrait session.
The benefits of doing a newborn photography session within the first two weeks are:
- To capture the baby whilst he / she still has their true newborn look
- Newborns are sleepier in the first 10 days and this helps to capture sleepy poses
I will work around my Clients to ensure the time selected for their newborn session works for them. I know how exhausting these early days following the birth of your baby are. New parents also need time to recover and this is a very personal time. For this reason I like to travel to my Clients home to ensure everyone is comfortable and rested for the session.
Whilst early booking is highly recommended there are occasionally last minute spaces available. If you have had your baby and would like a newborn photography session, contact me here. I would be very happy to hear from you.

Helen Arney, Brockley – “A wonderful experience from start to finish. We’d recommend Elle to anyone who wants to capture their baby’s precious first month.”

Newborn Photography London UK. It has been the most incredible year. Thank you so much to all the families I have met, I am truly grateful to have worked with you all.
As we fast forward to Christmas day I can hardly believe how lucky I have been. To welcome so many 2016 newborns into the world. To capture their incredible mothers during pregnancy. To celebrate 6month and first year milestones. It is a joy and a privilege to be a small part of these important moments.
We are still working away in the studio. Packaging up orders and gift cards ready to send out in time for Christmas. This week I will be enjoying my last pre Christmas newborn photography sessions. Following a busy few weeks of pregnancy photography sessions I am now excitedly meeting the new arrivals!
My blog picture tonight is of a darling newborn baby girl. This picture was taken at her home in West London. A perfect little sleeping angel. I love the gorgeous pixie bonnet made by my endlessly talented prop maker. Her tiny pout and button nose. There is something so special about black & white portraits. I love the fact that these will still look elegant in years to come.
I only have a few spaces left for January and we are currently taking bookings for February & March. If you would like to check availability simply complete the details on my ‘Make a Booking Enquiry‘ contact page.
I would love to hear from you and hope to meet you & your family in 2017.

I’m so excited to share these pictures from my Baby photography Clapham session. This was a very special first birthday photography session. It’s an important milestone and definitely one worth celebrating.
I have photographed this family since their first pregnancy. It was such an exciting time to welcome their first baby into the world with their beautiful pregnancy and newborn pictures. Over the past four years I have been so privileged to capture their children’s milestones. From first to second pregnancy, newborn, baby & first year portraits.
As a photographer their is no greater joy than getting to know my clients. I love to try to capture their little ones personalities and to create extra special shots. I believe professional portraits should stand the test of time. Pictures you will be proud to display and treasure for years to come.
This little one loves to climb so we added her special chair to this shot. Just look at her beautiful beaming face in this portrait. I captured her gorgeous smile just as she proudly turned around.
For the next shots I had prepared a special Number 1 crown, tutu and beads. These were so much fun to create, she loved the beads! A very sweet and fun first birthday photoshoot.
The little frilly romper and headband in the first shot were also from my selection of props. I have some gorgeous outfits for one year olds and love to create classic pictures to celebrate the first year.
I was also lucky enough to capture her first steps during the session. This has only happened a handful of times to me and I felt so lucky to be there. I included the step series in their beautiful handmade album which contained their final selection of images.
I’ve been adding some of my recent Baby Photography session pictures to my Pinterest, it’s a great place to get ideas. You can follow me here
