NEWBORN & FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER IN CANVEY ISLAND, ESSEX
Where the earliest moments are remembered forever.
Beautifully posed newborn photography and timeless portraits for babies, children and families, photographed in my Canvey Island studio.
I’m Simone, a newborn and family photographer specialising in beautifully styled newborn portraits and photographs that capture every little stage of your child’s early years.
From those first tiny days, to sitting, smiling, birthdays and beyond, my sessions are designed to create photographs you’ll treasure long after these moments have passed.

Your baby’s first days only happen once.
Those tiny fingers. Their sleepy little expressions. The way they curl into you.
My newborn photography sessions are carefully designed to capture all of those fleeting details, alongside beautifully posed portraits of your baby and natural photographs of you together as a family.
Based in my private studio in Canvey Island, I take care of everything from the posing and styling to the props, outfits and final fine-art editing, so you can simply relax and enjoy your baby’s first photographs.

WEDDINGS
My approach to wedding photography is a seamless blend of my signature fine-art aesthetic and the natural, unscripted magic of your big day. While I ensure we capture those essential traditional group portraits with poise and elegance, the heart of my work lies in the candid, fleeting moments—the shared laughs, the quiet glances, and the authentic joy of your guests. My experience with studio lighting and meticulous posing allows me to bring a polished, high-end feel to your wedding gallery, ensuring that every frame feels like a piece of art while remaining true to the real emotions of the day.
