Why Hampstead parents choose Newborn Fairytale
Many Hampstead homes have gorgeous Victorian bay windows and high ceilings, which means we usually get soft directional light for wrapped newborn portraits straight in your living room or nursery. If your baby is due in Royal Free Hospital, we can also arrange a Fresh 48 session before you head home.
Every session is fully led by baby — feeding, settling and cuddles are built into the timeline. Safety-first newborn posing is used for every image. You'll receive a private online gallery of hand-edited, high-resolution photos ready to download and print.

Plan your newborn photoshoot at home in Hampstead
Whether you live in Hampstead Village, Belsize Park, Frognal or South End Green, you do not need to travel with your newborn. We can discuss a comfortable space in your home and how you would like to include parents and siblings. I bring lighting, wraps, outfits and props; you do not need a dedicated nursery or a picture-perfect house.
Allow time for feeding, changing and settling rather than trying to fit your baby into a strict schedule. Share parking restrictions, stairs or lift access beforehand so we can plan arrival and carrying the equipment into your home.
Basic home newborn sessions cost £300 and Silver costs £450. Fresh 48 costs £250 and is a separate hospital session, subject to availability and hospital permission. Compare the collections on the packages page, then send your due date and postcode to discuss your session.
Newborn photography in Hampstead: your questions answered
How much does newborn photography in Hampstead cost?
Basic newborn photography at home costs £300 and Silver costs £450. Fresh 48 is a separate hospital session costing £250, not the starting price for a home newborn photoshoot. See the packages page for the images and options included in each collection, and message Diana to check availability for your due date.
Is my Hampstead home suitable for a newborn photography session?
You do not need a picture-perfect home for newborn photographs. Hampstead’s Victorian bay windows can offer lovely soft natural light, but a smaller window-lit space can work too. Before your session, we can discuss the brightest room and a comfortable spot for feeding. There is no need to tidy the whole house or create a dedicated nursery.
What should I check about parking for a newborn session in Hampstead NW3?
Permit-controlled parking is worth checking before your session, whether you live in Hampstead Village, Belsize Park, South End Green, Frognal or West Hampstead. Please share any restrictions and let me know whether a visitor permit is needed. Agreeing suitable parking and access beforehand helps keep arrival straightforward, so you can concentrate on your baby rather than last-minute logistics.
When should I book if I am expecting to give birth at the Royal Free?
Booking in your second or third trimester gives us time to discuss your preferences before your baby arrives. If you are expecting to give birth at the nearby Royal Free, your due date can guide the initial plan rather than dictate a fixed session date. Once you are home, we can discuss timing around your recovery and baby’s needs.
Can parents and siblings join our Hampstead newborn photographs?
Yes, parent and sibling portraits can be included alongside photographs of your newborn. At home, children can take breaks between their pictures, and parents do not need to spend the whole session in front of the camera. In your Hampstead home, a comfortable sofa or window-lit corner can provide a simple setting for relaxed photographs together.
Could we have baby photographs on Hampstead Heath instead of staying indoors?
Hampstead Heath can be an optional setting for older babies when the weather is suitable. For a newborn session, home offers a more controllable environment for warmth, feeding and settling. If you would like outdoor photographs later, we can discuss an age-appropriate plan that puts your baby’s comfort first, without relying on a particular forecast.
