Newborn Baby Photography
Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most magical moments—but we know it can also feel overwhelming. Between sleepless nights and endless cuddles, you’re probably thinking, “Should I book a newborn photographer? Who should I choose? When is the best time?” Let us take that stress away. Our newborn photography sessions are designed to be effortless and calming, giving you a chance to soak in these precious early days while we capture them beautifully. From easy booking to a warm, cosy studio where you can simply relax, we’ll take care of everything—so you can focus on what matters most: your baby.
The birth of a child marks a defining moment in your life. From this day forward, everything changes. You have a new reason for living. You have a new reason to love. Just weeks from now, your little one will no longer fit so tiny in your arms. With a newborn portrait session at Meagan Sarah Photography we will help you, let that beginning never end.
It's not too late!
Many parents worry they have left it too late but don't worry, we've got you! We photograph babies of all ages. Just select the package to suit your baby's age and no matter awake or asleep, rest assured we will capture beautiful images of your special little bundle.
Your comfort is our priority
It goes without saying that the comfort of your baby is extremely important throughout. But it is often overlooked that parents also need that extra bit of TLC when taking one of their first trips out of home with their newborn baby. We will look after you just as much as your baby, ensuring you're comfortable and relaxed with everything you need. (You can even take a nap as many do!)

Kind Words
We had a great morning at the studio for our newborn/family photo shoot. A very warm and inviting atmosphere and Katie was great - making us feel like we could sit back and relax and watch. We can’t wait to view our photos in a few weeks. Thanks so much. Definitely recommend to anyone with newborns or those wanting family photos.

We had the most amazing experience with Meagan Sarah photography, with some spectacular photos of our beautiful girl, we could not be happier with the outcome!Jessica
We have now visited Meagan Sarah Photography twice and both were amazing experiences. Our first photoshoot was when Phoebe was only 10 days old. She was a very unsettled baby but Katie and Meagan were both so good with her and managed to get some beautiful photos. We then came back for a cake smash for Phoebe’s first birthday with Meagan. Again, she was amazing with Phoebe and we cannot get over the photos that we received. Both times the photos came back so much quicker than expected! Hopefully we will be able to visit again as Phoebe grows up. Thank you again to everyone at Meagan Sarah Photography.Rebecca
Highly recommend! We went for the newborn/sibling shoot today and it was perfect from the moment we walked in! So welcoming and patient!! Really looking forward to seeing the final outcome of the beautiful pictures captured. XPaige
I recently booked Meagan for a newborn photoshoot and could not be happier with the photos! Meagan was very professional throughout the photoshoot and I would highly recommend her. Me and baby Alfie will see you in the future. Thankyou again!Danielle
We had our family / newborn photoshoots with Meagan, she was patient with our children and made the whole experience truly enjoyable. The photos are beautiful and we are definitely pleased that we decided to purchase these packages with Meagan Sarah Photography.Chris
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Meagan Sarah Photography for my little Eleni’s newborn photoshoot. I cannot express how thrilled I am with the results! From start to finish, the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional.
The moment we walked into the studio, I was greeted with a warm welcome and made to feel right at home. Both Meagan and Katie were incredibly professional and had a natural talent for putting both me, my partner and my newborn at ease.
The studio itself was immaculate, with a cozy and inviting atmosphere that was perfect for capturing those intimate first moments with my newborn. The lighting was just right, and the backdrop and props were carefully chosen to complement my baby and our style so the photographs would suit our home.
Throughout the shoot, Meagan and Katie had the patience of saints ! Making sure that my baby was comfortable and content at all times. She was able to capture a wide range of poses and expressions, resulting in a collection of stunning images that I will treasure for a lifetime.
Overall, I would highly recommend this photo studio for anyone looking to capture those precious first moments with their newborn. The Meagan and Katie’s talent and professionalism, combined with the studio's inviting atmosphere and attention to detail, made for an unforgettable experience that I will cherish for years to come.
Thank you again💖Morgan
I recently had a newborn photo shoot at Meagan Sarah Photography, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From start to finish, everything was seamless and stress-free. From before we arrived we had a lovely email to confirm the date and once they realised my partner went through an ordeal during pregnancy they instantly offered us different dates to allow my partner more time to recover.bMeagan was incredibly talented and took some of the most beautiful photos of my baby that I've ever seen. She somehow managed to capture her personality in every shot, and I will treasure these photos forever.
The studio itself was warm and inviting, and Meagan and Katie made sure that my baby was comfortable and safe throughout the entire shoot. They were also incredibly patient and accommodating, which made the whole experience even better.
Overall, I would highly recommend Meagan and her team for anyone looking for a newborn photo shoot. The quality of the photos and the level of service are both top-notch, and I can't imagine having gone anywhere else. Thank you to the entire team for making this such a wonderful experience!Demetri
We had a newborn photoshoot with Meagan. Absolutely loved it! She is obviously a very experienced and talented photographer and we now have some absolutely gorgeous pictures of our son. The viewing session was also a bonus as my husband couldn't make it to the actual photoshoot so it meant he could see the photos on the big screen and made it an extra special occasion. Would highly recommend!Helen
My partner and I recently had a newborn photoshoot with Meagan Sarah Photography!! What can I say... It was incredible!!! We can not wait to use them again which we 100% will be doing. Thank you so much for such a lovely experience, you made us feel so proud and at ease. x

We booked in for a Newborn Photo shoot. We were a little anxious taking a newborn, worrying about getting her settled & how she would cope with the lights/camera etc Meagan immediately put us all at ease & made us feel so welcome in her studio. Every ammemity you could need was provided with changing tables to baby hair brushes to bottle warming facilities. We were immediately put at ease with Meagan’s kind, patient attitude. Her professionalism is second to none. She creates the best poses & was so kind and gentle with our Newborn. The props & accessories avaliable leave you spoilt for choice. The photos are amazing & we couldn’t be happier.
We couldn’t recommend Meagan enough, excellent.Sue
Meagan was amazing with Ayla at our newborn shoot and she produced some absolutely beautiful photos.
Her studio is so lovely and she has a great choice of cute props for little ones.
We felt totally at ease with Meagan and will hopefully be using her again for Ayla's milestone shoots!
Can't wait to get some of the photos up on our wall!
Would highly recommend.
Thank you again! XLisa-Marie
Took our little boy there for his first photos and she was brilliant with him. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough, brilliant!Paul
We took our 11day old for his newborn shoot and Meaghan was brilliant from start to finish, couldn't have made us feel more welcome and at ease. Meagan made it clear there was no rush and that the main priority was getting the shots she/we wanted. They came down via email and are brilliant!
Thank you!Becky
We had a newborn shoot with our 8 day old baby just over 2 weeks ago. Meagan was incredibly friendly, patient, made us feel at home, and was really impressed with how amazingly well she handled our baby. Meagan has a huge variety of props/outfits and we were given the choice of the types of theme we wanted, however, we were pretty easy going and gave her free reign. The photos turned out amazing, were edited and sent to us very quickly, and we couldn't be happier with the result! Would recommend without a doubt and will be going back!Jessica
Meagan was absolutely amazing!! We did a newborn shoot with her - she was so patient and a pleasure to work with!! I absolutely love every single photo from the shoot and can't stop looking at them!! They are just too perfect and beautiful
Thank you!!Estie
Fantastic photographs every time xLoretta

We thought Meagan was very friendly and professional and couldn't do enough for us, she had a lot of patience with Ella and made sure she got some fantastic photos. We were so impressed at how quickly we got our photos back to view. We will be able to look back at these photos of our beautiful daughter for many years to come. Thanks so much! Michele and David. xxxxxxxMichele
Meagan Sarah Photography was a pleasure to do business with. She was extremely helpful and very responsive.

Meg was fab, we had a newborn shoot with a little diva of a baby who would NOT sleep. Meg was so patient and put us at ease. I left worrying there wouldn't be any good shots at all as our baby wouldn't perform, I needn't have worried, she got some amazing shots. Very talented and lovely lady xxxGemma
Meagan was absolutely amazing, so patient and talented with our newborn baby girl. Made us feel so welcome and relaxed. The photography studio was such a lovely environment and there was plenty of props to make the photos just right. Thank you MeaganRebecca
I took my two week old little boy for a newborn shoot, Meaghan was so patient with us both, as a new mum and a hungry little baby it was a little hard to keep my little boy quiet. Meaghan was so helpful and calm, I would recommend her to anyone, I'll be back again to have some more pictures with herRebecca

FAQ's (Please read!)
As one of the leading newborn photography specialists in Yorkshire we fill up fast for newborn sessions. We like to stick to no more than 3 a week to keep our availability flexible with your due date. Therefore it is really important to book your newborn photoshoot as soon as you can to avoid disappointment. To book simply click the "book online now" button below and follow the steps to book quickly and easily online. Alternatively, give us a call on 0113 8694051 or email studio@meagansarahphoto.co.uk and Katie or myself will be happy to give you more information and get you booked in.
We try our upmost to aid the sleep of your newborn in our studio. Some have even named us the baby whisperers! We make it very warm with white noise and dimmed lights to encourage your little one to drift off. With your permission we are happy to sooth your little one while you relax, giving them lots of cuddles and laps around our studio to help them drift off. We even pre warm our changing mat and posing bag too. If however, your little one really doesn't want to sleep we will take cute photos of them awake instead. We can't guarantee that their arms and legs will stay in one place while awake but we will always try our best. We are also pretty good at judging a newborns mood in the first hour of your arrival. If they are colic or somewhat irritable on the day, we are happy to call it a day within that first hour and schedule you back in another day if you prefer. Please note although we try our best to sleep your baby we can't guarantee it, therefore our final images cannot be rejected if your baby was awake during your shoot. (But hey, who would do that right :)?).
A viewing session is simply in place to give you a wonderful experience viewing your precious images for the first time. As each package includes a set amount of images, we need you to come back into the studio to choose your favourites. We have previously tried a method where we sent you a gallery home to view your images however 9 times out of 10 we are having to chase up our clients more than one to make their selections. Therefore we have made the decision to make a viewing session compulsory for every shoot type. Most of our clients, come with the intention of taking home a beautiful piece of art work for their home. This is the perfect opportunity for us to help and guide you to choose your perfect art! It is not compulsory to purchase anything additional at your viewing session and we do not apply pressure sales.
The younger your baby the more change that they'll sleep. When babies are asleep, so are their arms and legs! Awake babies, as cute as they are, at this young age, do not have much control of their limbs (ie, not poking themselves in their eyes, wriggling their legs, scratching their faces). Therefore, it can be more difficult to pose your awake child compared to a sleeping baby! A 4 weeks old baby is awake a lot more compared to a 2 weeks old (only just!). You will get adorable photos either way but if you do want images that reflect our portfolio then the younger the better!
Sharing the images we provide is vital to sustain our business. Seeing our client work on social media and our website is likely what lead you here today. That said, we strictly follow the Data Protection Laws and Regulations. Therefore every client is given a form in which they can express their preferences regarding the use of their images. Please note, there may be a small fee if you would like to restrict our online use.
This depends on your background colour choice. As a simple rule we recommend clean, light, plain clothing. It is worth observing the clothing on our website as inspiration. Please feel free to contact your photographer at any point to discuss your outfits.
Our facilities include a comfortable changing table, W/C. We also provide warm drinks and snacks but please bring plenty of well fitted nappies as we like to change this often during the session (bulky nappies don't work for photos). We also recommend a change of outfits for yourself if you want any photos of baby nude in your arms as accidents do happen! For your baby, please bring, at least two clean white baby grows and sleep suits. We also encourage the use of dummies on set.
Yes! We provide a changing table.
We try to make use of the full three hours however, we are happy to cut this short if you feel we have captured enough images.
By default we edit out any blemish that is a temporary mark on your baby. Please let us now if you would like us to edit out any birth marks, stalk bites and angel kisses. We usually leave those in but are happy to remove for you. Please note we cannot guarantee we can remove every blemish and every imperfection.
During your session, our focus by default is predominately to capture images of your newborn baby. introducing siblings to the session, depending on their age, can dramatically reduce the time we dedicate to newborn images. It is important that you speak to your photographer before your session if the most important images to you are the sibling shots. If so, we can dedicate more time to this for you. The more siblings there are the longer it takes. Depending on their ages and the importance of these shots, we highly recommend booking a family session later down the line when your newborn is a little bit stronger and holding their head up. This makes the session a lot safer and less stressful for you.
If you would like to bring more than your immediate family then we recommend booking a separate on a different date. Our studio is small and the more people in your session the less time we spend focusing on your newborn. If you wish to have a session that is just family and newborn with no individual shots of your baby we recommend booking a family session instead of a newborn session. Please click here to find out more information.
We do not accept band breeds, dangerous dogs and untrained dogs. It it vital that your dog is fully trained including toilet trained, good recall, can sit and lay down on command! For other pets, please call us on 0113 869 4051 to discuss.
Yes we encourage you to bring snacks and drinks. There is also a bakers, sweet shop and other amenities only a few doors down.
If on the day we don't have another booking in after yours, it may be possible to extend your session for a fee. This depends on the availability at the time as we can book up in advance. Please give us a call if you would like to discuss an extension or to swap on your shoot on 0113 869 4051.
In the event you the client are unable to attend the photo sitting you must notify your photographer no later than 24 hours before your sitting begins. Your photographer will try to re-schedule your sitting at a time they have available which will be discussed with you first. You will have 2 actions of cancellation, after this, your photographer will have the right to add an extra charge to your original fee. If you the client do not turn up without notifying Meagan Sarah Photography, then Meagan Sarah Photography reserve the right to cancel your sitting fully without refund.
We understand that getting anywhere with a newborn baby can be difficult that said, as we are a busy studio and have allocated you a set time it will usually means your time with us will be reduced. If however possible we will try our best to add time after your session but only if we have availability. The time with us will be reduced and thus results in fewer images taken.
Our luxury Newborn session will receive approximately 30 images to preview at their viewing session and both our Simplicity Session and Baby Photography Sessions will receive approximately 20 images to preview.
