Newborn Photography At Home in Esher
Newborn photography sessions in your own home
If you are expecting a baby or your newborn has already arrived and you are looking for newborn photography in Esher, you are in the right place.
Many parents plan to arrange newborn photography during pregnancy, then suddenly their baby arrives and everything feels a little upside down. That is completely normal. It is very rarely too late to arrange a session.
I have been photographing newborns in family homes across Surrey for over ten years,including many newborn photography sessions in and around Esher. Sessions usually take place within the first couple of weeks, although beautifully settled images are often still possible up to four weeks old.
All newborn photography sessions take place in your own home. For many families in Esher, staying in familiar surroundings during those early days feels far easier than travelling with a new baby. I bring everything needed with me, so there is no need to prepare your house and no travel required. Sessions move gently at your baby’s pace, with time for feeding, changing and settling whenever needed.
If you would like to check availability or ask any questions, please get in touch. I would love to hear from you and learn a little more about your baby.
Why Many Esher Families Choose Newborn Photography At Home
Esher has a lovely village feel while still being close to London, and many families prefer to stay exactly where they are in those first weeks rather than adding another journey into the day.
I love going out in Esher and know the area well. From evenings at the Everyman cinema to birthday dinners at Good Earth, it has that relaxed neighbourhood feel that many families love once they settle here.
In the early days with a newborn, keeping things simple matters. There is no need to organise travel or work around appointments. You remain in your own space and I come to you with everything needed for the session.
I bring my own lighting, meaning we are not dependent on the weather or window light, and we only need a small clear area to create beautiful images.
For many Esher families, the privacy of an at home session feels reassuring. It keeps the experience calm and allows the focus to stay entirely on your baby.
If you are due to deliver at St Peter’s in Chertsey, Kingston Hospital or planning a London birth, I would be very happy to come to your Esher home once baby has safely arrived.
"Wow! Gill is an absolute master of her craft. She’s such a lovely person and an incredibly talented photographer. Gill has the patience of a saint and was so kind and gentle with our babies throughout the session. We couldn’t be happier with the experience or the photos. Highly recommend her — 10/10!."

Why parents choose me
Parents often tell me they felt comfortable from the moment I arrived. In those early weeks, that feeling matters.
I have over ten years experience photographing newborns and I am fully trained in newborn safety and handling. Your baby’s comfort and wellbeing always come first. Sessions are never rushed and everything is done with care.
I bring professional lighting and simple styling with me, so there is no need to prepare your home or worry about how things look. I regularly photograph newborns in Esher and the surrounding villages, creating a calm and straightforward experience for families in their own homes.

"Gill was very friendly and easy to work with during the shoot for my family. She also came to my house which made things easier with having little ones. She payed attention to detail very well and made sure she captured the perfect shot!"

"If your looking for a newborn photographer.. then look no further. Gill is a baby whisperer and was perfect for our photoshoot. It was so much easier to bring the studio to us especially as I had a C section and was breastfeeding."

What To Expect
Before your session we will have a chat about how the session will work.
On the day there is no pressure for anything to be perfect. Your home does not need to look a certain way and your baby sets the pace of the session. Again - I bring lighting and don't need too much room.
Portraits are kept simple and centred on your new baby. If you would like to be included I will guide you so everything feels natural and comfortable. You have just had a baby after all.
Most parents say the biggest surprise is how relaxed the whole experience feels. - that is always my goal.
"Thank you for an amazing experience – and the wonderful memories we will have from it. So professional in the comfort of our home and the images are fantastic.!"

"I was able to sit and feed and watch Gill create her magic. And the photographs we will cherish forever. If you’re on the fence I’d definitely book!."
