Newborn Photographer Nottingham | Capturing Tiny Moments That Matter Most
If you’re searching for a newborn photographer in Nottingham who will capture your baby’s earliest days with care, creativity, and calm, welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.
Bringing a new life into the world is extraordinary, emotional, and all consuming. In those early weeks, time blurs and moments pass in the blink of an eye. That’s why newborn photography is more than just pretty pictures, it’s a way to bottle up this fleeting, powerful season of life and preserve it forever.
At Marley & The Wildlings Photography, I specialise in natural, relaxed, baby led newborn photography in Nottingham and across Nottinghamshire, working with families who want to remember the real, raw, beautiful beginnings of their baby’s story.
Why Choose Me As Your Newborn Photographer in Nottingham?
As a mum of 5, and experienced documentary style photographer, I understand both the emotional and practical sides of those newborn days.
No awkward posing: I capture your baby as they are, curled up, stretching out, yawning, being held close. No forced props or rigid positions.
Your comfort comes first: Whether we shoot in the comfort of your home or outdoors, your baby leads the pace. Need a feed, cuddle, or change? We take our time.
Timeless, natural style: I focus on emotion, light, connection, and all those tiny details, the peeling toes, milk drunk smiles, and sleepy snuggles.
Experience with little ones: From years of being with newborns, children, animals, and chaotic real life, nothing fazes me. I know how to read the room and adapt without stress.

What To Expect From Your Nottingham Newborn Photography Session
Choosing a newborn photographer shouldn’t feel overwhelming. Here’s how it works:
1. Booking Your Session
Ideally, book during pregnancy to secure a spot in the first 2–3 weeks after your due date (don’t worry, we’ll adjust the session date once baby arrives). Last minute bookings are welcome if I have space!
2. Pre Session Planning
We’ll chat about your vision, location (at home or outdoors), and any special family touches you’d love included. I’ll guide you on how to prepare, what to wear, how to keep baby content, and what to expect on the day.
3. Your Newborn Shoot
Sessions are relaxed and unhurried, lasting around 1.5–2 hours. Whether you’re breastfeeding on the sofa or snuggling on the bed, I’ll gently document those natural, meaningful moments. Siblings, pets, and grandparents are always welcome.
4. Viewing & Ordering
You’ll receive a private, beautifully curated online gallery to view your images. From there, you can choose digital packages, printed keepsakes, and handmade albums to treasure forever.
Newborn Photography That Feels Like You
Every baby is different. Every family is different. That’s why I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all photoshoots. My approach is tailored, thoughtful, and built around real connection.
My sessions are especially popular with families who:
Want a calm, stress free experience
Prefer natural newborn photos over styled or overly posed studio looks
Love documentary style images that tell a story
Want to include their home, pets, and family dynamic
Value authentic, emotional photography

When’s the Best Time to Book a Newborn Shoot?
The ideal window for newborn photography is between 5–21 days old, when babies are still sleepy and snuggly. However, older babies (4–6 weeks) are just as welcome, especially if you’ve had a longer hospital stay or just needed time to settle in.
No matter when, we’ll capture what matters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer at-home newborn photography in Nottingham?
Yes! Most families choose to have their shoot in the comfort of their own home. I bring everything needed and work with natural light to create warm, real images in your space.
How do I prepare my home for a newborn shoot?
Don’t worry about mess or perfection, I only need a small area with good light. I’ll guide you through everything in our prep chat.
What should we wear?
Neutral, soft tones work beautifully. But what most matters is that you feel comfortable.
Can siblings or pets be involved?
Absolutely. I’m a big believer in including the full family dynamic, even if your toddler only wants to show off their dinosaurs!
