Newborn Stories
For the ones who
Those first few weeks have a funny way of disappearing.
The sleepy stretches. The tiny fingers wrapped around yours. The way they curl into your chest. The little details you swear you'll remember forever, until suddenly they're not quite so little anymore.
Newborn photography gives you a way to hold onto it.
WANT TO REMEMBER THEM THIS LITTLE
Storytelling has always been at the heart of my photography.
Before weddings became my full-time world, I photographed newborns. Then somewhere along the way, weddings took over and this little part of my work got left behind.
Now, after having two babies of my own, I'm bringing newborn photography back.
Not because I'm doing something completely different, but because it fits so naturally into the stories I've always loved telling.
I'll come to you, in your own home, and capture this chapter exactly as it feels. The tiny details, sleepy cuddles, feeds, siblings climbing in for a look, and all those beautifully ordinary moments that make these first few weeks yours.
No need for perfect. Just your family, your baby, and the beginning of their story.

Let me
Into your Newborn Bubble
I'm here to tell your story.
I’m a mum of two, so I’ve lived the newborn phase twice. I know how strange those first few weeks are, when days and nights blur together, your house is full of muslins and half-drunk cups of tea, and having a shower feels like a genuine achievement.
So when I turn up at your house, I’m not expecting tidy.
I don’t care if there’s washing on the sofa, bottles on the side or you haven’t done your hair. Please don’t clean for me. Please don’t apologise for the state of your house.
And do whatever makes baby comfortable, feed them, change them and all the cuddles. That's what I capture.
Because I know from experience just how quickly this bit disappears. And one day, I want these photographs to take you straight back there.
Coming back to Newborns
Before weddings, I was a newborn lifestyle photographer. I captured tiny fingers. Sleepy cuddles. Feeding, older siblings climbing into bed, the dog inevitably getting involved.
After having my own wonderful babies, I moved into weddings full time and newborn photography quietly took a back seat.
And now, I’m coming back to where it all began.
Liz Evelyn Photography is reintroducing newborn photography in Hampshire, but this time I've been there, done that and completely understand just how sleep deprived you are.
I want to capture your complete story
Coming Soon
Once you get in touch, we’ll have a chat and talk about everything babies. Your plans, your hopes, how you’re feeling and what you want these photographs to remember. I’m an oversharer myself, so there really are no out-of-bounds questions with me. 😂
If it feels like we’re a good fit, a £100 booking fee secures your newborn story. But babies aren’t exactly known for sticking to schedules, so we don’t need to choose your actual shoot date just yet.
The remaining balance is due when you reach 38 weeks, just before the wild ride begins.
Then baby arrives. ❤️
There’s no pressure to message me from the hospital or have a date sorted immediately. Go home. Meet your tiny human. Find your feet. When you’re ready to let me into your newborn bubble, send me a message and we’ll find a date that works for you.
Ideally, we’ll photograph your story sometime within those first six weeks. Tiny toes, sleepy cuddles, milk-drunk faces, the chaos, the calm and everything in between.
The Calm before
It's time to capture your story.
When I arrive, there’s no rush and absolutely no expectation for your baby to perform for the camera. We’re in your home, in your newborn bubble, and baby tells the story, I simply record it.
Need to stop for a feed? Feed them. Nappy explosion? I'll hand you wipes. Baby only wants to be cuddled? Perfect, because those are probably the photographs you’ll treasure most anyway.
I’m looking for the little things. The way they curl into your chest, their tiny toes, the sleepy stretches, the way you and your partner look at each other like holy shit, we made that.
And yes, siblings, dogs, cats and whatever other members of the household want to get involved are very welcome.
There’s no need for everyone to be perfectly dressed, your house to be spotless or your baby to sleep through the whole thing.
Authentic Storytelling
Then you go back to finding your new normal. The feeds, the cuddles, the broken sleep, the endless washing and getting to know this brand-new little person who has completely changed your world.
And I’ll take everything I’ve captured away and carefully turn it into your story.
I’ll edit each image in my signature warm, natural style and create your own beautiful online gallery, ready for you to relive whenever you want.
Because right now, these days might feel endless.
But one day, you’ll want to remember just how little they were.
What to expect, when you are expecting
You concentrate on your baby. I’ll help you remember it.
