A Gentle Start: Your Newborn Journey

Newborn sessions are designed to be slow, relaxed, and guided by your baby.

Newborn Sessions

Once booked, you’ll receive my newborn guide to help you feel prepared and at ease. I’ll note your expected due date as a guide, and once your baby has arrived and you’re feeling ready, simply get in touch and I’ll offer available dates — ideally within the first two weeks, or later if you’d prefer more time to recover.

The session can be held in the comfort of your home or in my Suffolk photography studio, depending on what feels right for you. Every newborn session is completely baby-led. There’s no rush, no pressure, and no expectations — we move at your baby’s pace. Whether that means extra feeding, cuddles, or moments of quiet settling, everything is allowed. This gentle approach creates a calm environment where natural, meaningful images can unfold, keeping your baby comfortable and content throughout the session.

If you’re looking for a calm, natural Suffolk newborn photographer to document these fleeting early days, I’d love to hear from you.

aFTER YOUR NEWBORN sESSION

Following your newborn photography session, I’ll begin carefully editing your images to reflect my natural, timeless style. A preview gallery will be delivered within 2–3 weeks, showcasing lightly refined images so you can enjoy the first glimpse of your baby and the story of your session.

You’ll receive a link to your private online viewing gallery, password-protected for your peace of mind. Depending on your chosen package, you can then select your favourite digital images and prints directly from the gallery. I’m always on hand to help guide you through your selections.

Once your final choices are made, I’ll complete a final detailed edit on your selected images. Final delivery is typically within 3–4 weeks. For full-package clients, all images are fully edited from the outset, with the complete gallery delivered within 3–4 weeks.

Your gallery will remain open for two weeks, giving plenty of time to make your selections. For full-package clients, the gallery stays live for six months, allowing easy downloading and access to all your newborn images.

Let’s preserve these precious first moments together — every cuddle, yawn, and tiny detail.

Ellie - Newborn, Studio

I have always hated having my picture taken so was nervous coming into this session however Mikaela made me feel at ease straight away and was so lovely. I have never seen someone so gentle and brilliant with my newborn. The session felt relaxed and I really enjoyed our time there and the photos are just out of this world. I will 100% use Mikaela again to capture all the precious moments in my life. Thank you so much!

The Heart of Home: Family Moments

 

The beauty of togetherness, captured gently, a place where everyday love becomes timeless.

Family sessions

I photograph families in a relaxed, unhurried way, allowing space for genuine connection to unfold naturally. Wherever you choose to have your session — at home, on location, or in the studio — the focus is always on you and the relationships you share. Children, parents, grandparents, pets, or simply the two of you together, every family is welcomed just as they are.

By taking a gentle, relaxed approach, everyone feels comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. There’s no pressure to pose or perform. Instead, I encourage you to interact, move, and simply be together. Often, the most meaningful images are created in these quiet, in-between moments.

Family sessions can take place in your home, in the studio, or outdoors in a natural setting such as a beach, woodland, or open field. I’m happy to guide you when choosing a location, taking into account the season, the light, and the feeling you’d love your images to hold.

Family sessions aren’t just for those with little ones — I also love photographing families with older children and extended families, capturing the connections that continue to grow over time.

If you’re looking for a calm, natural Suffolk family photographer to gently document your family and the connections you share, I’d love to hear from you.

Maddy - Location, Rendlesham

We just had our first shoot with Mikaela and we are so amazed with the photos. This was the first time we did anything like this and it couldn’t have been more enjoyable! As soon as we started we were completely at ease and laughed the whole way through. Thank you for capturing such beautiful photos of our little family. I honestly cousins recommend you enough!

Tender Beginnings: Maternity Moments

 

Capturing the love, connection, and quiet moments of this special time.

 

Maternity sessions

Pregnancy is a beautiful, fleeting time, full of quiet moments, anticipation, and connection. I aim to capture this chapter gently and naturally, in a way that feels calm, authentic, and true to you.

Your session can take place wherever feels most comfortable — in your home, in my studio, or out in a favourite natural setting like a beach, woodland, or open field. Together, we can choose a location that reflects your vision and the atmosphere you love.

I take a relaxed, unobtrusive approach, letting the session flow at your pace. There’s no pressure to pose — I guide you with simple prompts and encourage natural movement and interaction. Often, the most special images happen in those quiet, in-between moments, when you’re simply enjoying this time together.

Whether you want intimate solo portraits, images with a partner, or to include older children and pets, each session is tailored to capture the love, connection, and anticipation unique to your family at this stage. The result is a collection of images that feel timeless, personal, and full of warmth.

If you’re looking for a calm, natural Suffolk maternity photographer to gently capture this special chapter of your journey, I’d love to hear from you.
