newborn photography in essex

mae wickham photography

Welcoming a newborn into the world is a beautiful, fleeting moment - and my goal is to capture it with care, sensitivity and a calm, natural approach. Based in Essex, I offer newborn photography that focuses on genuine connection, soft light, and those tiny details you’ll want to remember forever.

Capturing Precious Moments

Natural, Relaxed & Timeless

Whether you're first-time parents or growing your family, my newborn sessions are relaxed, baby-led and designed to keep everyone comfortable. I specialise in natural newborn photography in Essex, using soft tones and gentle posing to create images that feel authentic and timeless.

Newborn sessions can take place in the comfort of your own home or at a light-filled location that suits your family.

I travel throughout Essex, including Chelmsford, Maldon, Colchester, Braintree and surrounding villages.

At-home sessions are ideal for keeping things calm and unhurried. There’s no pressure, we follow baby’s lead, allowing time for cuddles, feeding and rest breaks. I’ll guide you gently through the process and focus on capturing genuine connection between you and your little one.

Whether you’re drawn to a minimalist aesthetic or love layered textures and soft styling, we’ll work together to create a gallery that reflects your story.

Family photography, to me, is about preserving the rhythm of everyday life.

These images are not about perfect posing. They are about memory, familiarity, and the feeling of being together. Photographs that grow more valuable with time, becoming part of your family’s story rather than just a record of a day.
