Manchester Newborn Photography - Relaxed, in home newborn photoshoot in Didsbury.

6 days ago2 min read

Welcoming a newborn into the family is a beautiful albeit chaotic time, the last thing you want is the added stress of leaving the house for a photoshoot. That’s why in-home newborn photography is so unique, capturing those early moments in the comfort of your own space, where everyone feels relaxed and at ease.

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a newborn session in Didsbury, it was truly everything I love about lifestyle photography. As always, the session was completely baby-led, allowing plenty of time for feeds, cuddles, and soaking in those first few weeks of newborn bliss. There was no pressure, no rush, just natural moments filled with love.

One of the best parts? Cookie, the family dog, got involved. Newborn photoshoots with pets are my favourite! Pets are often a huge part of your family, and I always encourage including them in your photos.

After the session, I went for a walk through Fletcher Moss Park, and it reminded me why it’s such an amazing spot for new parents to visit. If you're looking for a pram-friendly walk in Didsbury, this is one of the best. The pathways are easy to navigate, and the scenery is beautiful no matter the season. Whether you fancy a peaceful stroll, some fresh air with your newborn, or a relaxing stop at the Alpine Tea Room for a coffee and cake, it’s the perfect place to unwind. I always recommend it to new parents looking for a gentle outing that doesn't feel overwhelming.

Why choose an in-home newborn photoshoot?

As a Manchester newborn photographer who specialises in in-home newborn photography, I am kind of biased. However, there are many perks to a relaxed and natural newborn photoshoot in the comfort of your own home. There’s no need to pack a bag, rush out the door, or worry about the unpredictable Manchester weather. Instead, you can simply enjoy those little moments, cuddles on the sofa, tiny fingers wrapped around yours, and the comfort of home surrounding you.
