♡ You live in or around Edinburgh
♡ You love the look of simple, timeless newborn portraits, taken on a white backdrop, that will look as good in 10 years time as they do today

When your precious baby is born, everything will suddenly change and time will start to fly.
As the months and years go by and your little one grows, you will wonder how is it even possible that they could once fit into your hands so perfectly.
Even years from now, your beautiful newborn photographs will take you back to those first few days and weeks of your journey as a parent: the beginning of life as you know it now.
If you love the idea of beautifully natural newborn photography, captured on all white background, you will love the image gallery and wall art that we will create for you.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Karolina made our whole family feel at ease once in the studio and especially made our older daughter feel comfortable. She was also fantastic with our newborn and I was more than happy for her to take the lead in positioning him for the photographs whilst I sat back, relaxed and enjoy a hot coffee! Amazing!
We recently had a newborn photoshoot with Karolina. She was friendly and professional throughout, and the resulting pictures were amazing! She made the session so easy, even with our two year old present! Would definitely recommend and would be more than happy to use her in the future
Recently had a newborn and family shoot with Karolina and would thoroughly recommend. She was very accommodating while also providing great direction for the shoot. We viewed the photos today and Karolina spent plenty of time talking us through various options and really helped us create something in our vision. Would definitely recommend!

As a strong believer that your newborn photographer should be someone you connect with and trust to capture these precious first moments of your baby’s life, I would be honoured if you chose me.
I photograph little babies on the white backdrop, just as they are – focusing on their unique features, rather than perfect posing and props. No baby is ever too old to be beautifully photographed and I truly believe that family photos should be printed and displayed!

WHEN TO BOOK YOUR NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION
To ensure your newborn session can take place when baby is still beautifully tiny, it is best to secure your newborn photography session during pregnancy.
This also gives us plenty of time to prepare and for you to get to ask all of the questions you might have.
When you are ready to book, we will mark your due date in my calendar and will pencil in a few available dates for your session. Once your baby is born, simple let me know and we will confirm the date of the actual session in my Edinburgh studio.
CAN SIBLINGS BE INCLUDED IN YOUR NEWBORN PHOTOS?
Yes, yes, yes! Did I say yes? Absolutely!
Regardless of whether it is your first or fourth baby, all immediate family members should participate. I believe that sibling portraits in particular are so special and should be prioritised.
They have just received the most precious gift from you – a friend for life! And even thought they might be enemies at times, there is nothing like the beginning of the sibling journey and it should be beautifully captured.
Three reasons why you should book a newborn photoshoot in edinburgh…
One: To help you remember
Soon your baby won’t fit in your hands as well as they did in those first few weeks. Their tiny little feet will grow in no time, and the way they curl up and snuggle will soon be replaced by rolling and sitting. Newborn photos will capture all these details and help you remember the beginning of your journey together.
Two: To help them remember
Give your children an opportunity to look back at their first few weeks and at the start of their life with you. Seeing their newborn portraits displayed around the house will help them grow more confident and develop their sense of belonging within your family.
Three: You might regret it if you don't
This one is as simple as that. I don’t know anyone who regrets having a professional newborn photoshoot, but I know of too many people who regret not organising it.
What clients say
Hi Karolina, we just wanted to say how delighted we are with the photos. It made us quite emotional looking at them and they look even more amazing in the prints and on a large screen. Every photo just captures him beautifully. Thanks so much again for helping us to capture such special memories.
