Elizabeth May Photography

I'm a creative entrepreneur, professional problem solver, and competitively patient - all attributes that help as a baby photographer.
I work from my home studio in Bow in East London to create images my clients love of their favourite people in the world.
My style is simple and elegant.
I use a few props that help create gorgeous portraits of your baby, but my focus is always on them, their expressions, details and personality.
I regularly invest in my professional development so I can deliver the best results for you and your family.

Your newborn photography session should be booked during your pregnancy to guarantee availability, I only have 8 sessions available per month to ensure I can fit you in even if your baby comes early or late.
Most people book after their 25 weeks scan, although you can book earlier if you want to!
I sometimes have last minute availability so please do get in touch if your baby is already here to check.
Ideally newborn photography sessions take place between 6 - 14 days after baby is born, when they are the most sleepy and relaxed.

Once your baby can hold their head up and smile, there is no wrong time to photograph them!
Sitter sessions are highly recommended between 7-12 months, when babies are happy and content sitting up and they can't run away from the camera!
I love taking photos of children of all ages, so if they are 6 months or 6 years we can plan the perfect session for you and your family.
My style is minimalist and monochromatic, this means I have lots of outfits that match the coloured backdrops I have, for both genders between 6-18 months.

Maternity photo sessions are a great way to capture the amazing changes that happen to your body during pregnancy, as well as making you feel like a goddess at a time when you will likely feel like the complete opposite!
Whether they are to go on the wall, in an album or for your own personal record, so many women tell me they wish they had captured this incredible time in their life.
I offer maternity photography sessions to my newborn clients only, and you can add on a session for just 220 including digital images.

A family photography session is aimed at families with a child older than 12 months old, and they are great for families with more than one child.
Your family photography session can take place in my home studio in Bow, East London, or in a park, my favourite Parks are Greenwich, Victoria, Wanstead and Haggerston.
Sessions will focus on a mix of your children and the whole family, I will aim to get natural, relaxed interaction between you all as well as some more posed style portraits.
I wont rush you, if your children need some time to warm up then this isn't a problem, we always get there in the end!
