Capturing New Beginnings with Newborn Photography in Edinburgh and the Lothians

Welcoming a new baby into your family is a life-changing milestone—those tiny fingers, sleepy yawns, and wide-eyed wonder will pass in the blink of an eye. As your local Edinburgh baby photographer, our passion at GWS Photography is to help you preserve these beautiful early moments so you can cherish them for years to come.


Why Invest in Professional Newborn Photography?

  1. Safety & Expertise
    • Newborns are delicate, and handling them requires skill, gentleness, and a lot of patience. With professional newborn photography in Edinburgh, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your baby is in expert hands.
  2. Timeless Quality
    • A professional shoot goes beyond quick phone snaps. From lighting to composition, our focus is on creating artful images that reflect your baby’s sweetness and your family’s love.
  3. Stress-Free Sessions
    • We schedule plenty of time for feeding, changing, and calming baby as needed—no rush, no pressure. Our cozy, countryside studio just outside Edinburgh sets the stage for a relaxing, memorable experience.

When to Schedule Your Session

  • The First Two to Six Weeks
    • Babies are typically more comfortable being gently posed when they’re between 5-42 days old. It’s a great opportunity to capture those teeny, curled-up poses.
  • Anytime They’re Tiny
    • If you miss that window, no worries! Babies are adorable at every stage. We can still capture those heartwarming early smiles and growing personalities whenever you’re ready.

Why Printing Your Photos Matters

  2. Daily Joy
    • A framed print in your living room is a constant reminder of those early days—something you’ll smile at every time you pass by.
