Investment Guide

Maternity - Newborn - Milestone

Hello and welcome! I’m so happy you’re here.

My name is Eden Grace, and I’m a natural newborn photographer based in Calshot, Hampshire. My approach is calm, baby-led, and completely unhurried, with every session designed to feel relaxed and pressure-free. My studio has been created as a peaceful space where you can slow down, feel comfortable, and simply enjoy this fleeting newborn stage.

From your initial enquiry to the moment you receive your final images, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. I believe booking your newborn session should feel simple, reassuring, and exciting, not overwhelming. Below you’ll find exactly how the process works, what to expect, and how we’ll plan a session that feels natural, meaningful, and truly you.

Step 1: Get in touch

Send an enquiry through my booking form here to take the first step towards booking your session.

Step 2: Complete your proposal

After enquiring and sharing your due date, you’ll receive a personalised proposal, including your contract, invoice, questionnaire and a list of dates to choose from.

Step 3: Pay your booking deposit

All bookings require a £100 deposit to secure the date. Once your booking deposit has been paid, your booking is complete, and the date is yours. This can be moved with enough notice due to baby not arriving on time, which is more common than you think.

Step 4: Preparing for your session

After booking, you’ll receive a booking confirmation email as well as a link to your prep guide. Most of your questions will be answered in this guide, but I’m only a message away if you have any other questions. You can contact me via email or message. All contact details can be found here.

Step 5: On the day

On the day, you’ll receive a reminder email with the address and details of how to find the studio. The remainder of the booking fee is due and the session day is finally here! Remember, if you have any questions at all, right up until the session date (and after too), you can always message or email me.

  • "We had a Newborn Photoshoot with Eden when our little girl was just a week old. Their studio was stunning, with lots of lovely outfits available for our baby to wear. They were professional and very patient as our little girl was not the easiest to photograph. We are so happy with our photos and will treasure them forever. Thank you so much!"

    - Amber & Maya | Newborn Session

  • "Eden made us feel so comfortable when visiting the studio for our newborn photos, we were able to pick a time that suited us and bring our 4year old along too to join in the photos - this was super important to us. They completely understood what we were after and the photos are so unbelievably special! They are so natural and don’t feel really posed which is amazing! Thank you so much Eden, we will treasure our photos forever"

    - Alice | Newborn Session

  • "Absolutely blown away by the kindness, professionalism and skill by this lovely photographer. Highly recommend and will be coming back for milestone shoots in the future. The care and patience during the session was above and beyond what we expected and the photos were sent back quickly and to such a high quality standard. We are so thrilled with every single shot. Eden definitely has an eye for detail and is a natural at her job. Thank you so, so much."

    - Sinead | Newborn Session

  • "Had a baby photoshoot for my 5 month old, and the whole experience was just so amazing! Such a calm and welcoming atmosphere. A lovely little studio, and Eden got some beautiful pictures of my little girl! Absolutely love them."

    - Amber | Milestone Session

  • "We received our album really quickly and have since been able to enjoy all of the photos with our friends and family. I do believe that money isn’t wasted when it comes to things like this as she will only be this size once and it goes in the blink of an eye! So I am so grateful that we have these beautiful photographs to treasure forever. Thank you again Eden. We can’t recommend you highly enough."

    - Rebecca Grace | Newborn Session

  • "From the moment we arrived, Eden made us feel so relaxed and comfortable. She handled our little one with such care, patience and confidence — you can tell she genuinely adores what she does. The session felt calm, natural and unrushed… exactly what you need as new parents! The photos are absolutely stunning. The tones, the details, the emotion — everything feels so pure and real. These are memories we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for newborn photography that feels elegant, gentle and heartfelt, Eden is your girl. Thank you so much for capturing our little one so beautifully."

MY APPROACH

My newborn sessions are calm, natural, and completely baby-led, focusing on genuine connection rather than posed perfection. I create a relaxed space where you can simply slow down and be present with your little one, allowing those quiet moments, tiny details, and loving interactions to unfold naturally. With soft light, neutral tones, and gentle guidance, my aim is to capture the deep connection between you and your baby in an honest, timeless way that reflects these precious early days just as they are.

When to Book Your Session

Maternity

Maternity sessions are best booked between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully defined but you are still feeling comfortable. These sessions focus on natural connection, soft movement, and celebrating this fleeting chapter before your baby arrives.

Newborn

Newborn sessions can be booked from your 12-week scan, with most families securing their space during the second or early third trimester to ensure availability around their due date.

A provisional session date is reserved in advance and remains fully flexible. Once your baby arrives, simply let me know within the first couple of days and we can confirm or adjust the date as needed. Every birth and recovery is different, and your session will always be planned around what feels right for you and your baby.

Newborn photography is often carried out between 5 and 14 days old, when babies are typically sleepier and more settled. However, this is not a strict rule. I also love photographing babies who are a little older, when they are more alert and beginning to show their personality.

Sessions are calm, natural, and completely baby-led. There are no forced poses or styled props, just real connection, gentle movement, and the quiet in-between moments that reflect your baby exactly as they are. Plenty of time is allowed for feeding, cuddles, and soothing, creating a relaxed and unhurried experience.

Milestone

Milestone sessions are a beautiful way to document your baby’s first year. Popular ages include around 6 months, when little ones are smiling and often sitting, and 1 year to celebrate their first birthday.

These sessions are relaxed and natural, capturing personality, curiosity, and the bond you share as your family continues to grow.

To ensure availability, I always recommend booking your maternity, newborn, and milestone sessions as far in advance as possible so your preferred dates can be secured.
