As a Cornwall Newborn Photographer with over 10 years of experience, I understand that leaving the house with a newborn—especially for one of the first times—can feel daunting. Rest assured, a newborn photoshoot is unlike any other. At Jo Buckley Photography, everything is done at your baby’s pace in a soothing, calm, and nurturing environment designed for newborn photography.
Our goal is to ensure you have a wonderful experience while we capture these precious first memories for you. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a rare treat — a hot cup of tea or coffee — while we work our magic creating images you’ll treasure forever.
To get the most out of your session, we recommend scheduling your newborn photoshoot within the first 21 days after birth to capture those fleeting, sleepy, and cuddly moments that are so special. Whether you prefer an intimate studio shoot or a more personalised setting, we’ll create a custom experience that fits your family’s needs.
After your session, we’ll invite you back to the studio to view your beautifully edited images. This is when you’ll select your favourites and decide how you’d like to display them in your home, whether through beautiful wall art, albums, or prints. Let us help you preserve these once-in-a-lifetime memories with stunning newborn portraits that will last for generations.
HOW IT WORKS
1. BOOKING
It's best to book your newborn session while you’re still pregnant. We’ll mark your due date in the diary, and once your little one arrives, we’ll secure a date and time for the session. The ideal time for a newborn shoot is within the first 14 days, when parents are on maternity leave together. Older siblings and family pets are always welcome to join in.
2. PHOTOSHOOT
Sessions typically last 1.5 to 2 hours and are baby-led, so there’s no rush. Babies often need breaks for feeding, changing, and cuddles. We encourage parents to be part of the session, as those images will be the ones your children will treasure the most as they grow older.
3. VIEWING & ORDERING
Once your session is complete, you’ll be invited back to view your images and select the prints or products you’d like to purchase, as well as decide how you’d like to display your cherished memories on your walls.
