Baby Photographer Essex
Based in Harlow, serving Essex and Hertfordshire since 2004
With me your family photography journey typically starts with either a bump or baby photo session, and builds as your family grows.
Babies don’t keep.
One day you are going to miss this.
You’re going
to wish ….
it hadn’t gone so fast.
Let’s Capture it Before it’s Gone …
So many parents don’t realise how fast their baby’s first year will fly by, and may miss out on important memories.
Each photography session from maternity to baby and beyond is customised to fit your family regardless of the age of baby or siblings, perfect for parents seeking emotive, natural images of their growing family that you will cherish forever.
My baby photography is more than simply capturing your newborn baby, I aim to capture your growing family through the eyes of your youngest.
I have clients who started with their first baby, and others who started once their family was complete.
You’ll have beautiful portraits of your new baby, with the bonus that each photography session includes a short family session as I know your child will one day love looking back at Mum, Dad, and any other kids in those photos.

Baby Photos Made Simple for You
Baby’s First Year
Portraits of your sleeping newborn baby is a popular trend, but it is simply one style of photography you could choose for your own home, there are other milestone stages to capture during baby’s first year that are equally adorable, and that many first time parents do not realise are an option.
So please do not feel you have missed out on a newborn session if you didn’t get around to booking a baby photography experience in those first 2 weeks.
Not all Mums want to or feel like heading out of the house with their newborn baby, and actually prefer to capture those first memories with a photographer when their baby is older, but before they become toddlers 🙂
Since 2004
I established my photography studio in Harlow, Essex in 2004, and I’ve been a portrait photographer ever since, helping new parents capture the joy and beauty of their new baby.
Baby Photography has always been at the core of what I do, with a natural style to capturing these special moments of babyhood.
I understand it’s a busy time, and I remember life as a new Mum too, and it’s for that reason I also know you’ll never regret taking an hour to capture your new baby with the people and connections that give your life meaning and purpose.
Don’t Miss Out on Memories
This wonderful time that everyone tells you flies by (and it truly does), is a chapter you’ll look back on, and a moment you want to share with generations to come.
In a world full of busyness let’s press the pause button and celebrate what you have, what you’ve worked for, and what makes it all worth it.
Over the past year (thank you pandemic), I’ve refined my viewing and ordering process to be as streamlined, simple, and stress-free as possible – you’ve got enough on your plate as it is!
Let’s Get The Ball Rolling
From our first phone call to the exciting day your finished prints and artwork arrives, I’ll lead you through my process for portrait photography step by step, ensuring that you get the beautiful characterful images you’ve dreamed of painlessly, no matter what stage you are at, if your baby, is 4 or 10 months old I’ll simply work with your baby’s development stage.

As expecting parents, you are ecstatic about your growing baby… and not to mention the growing bump!
Here are my 6 tips on preparing for your maternity photoshoot.
Sue Kennedy - Baby & Family Photographer
I’m Sue, I specialise in photographing babies of all ages, so there’s no pressure from me to come in when your baby is brand new. Babies are cute for a long time, and once their little characters emerge, it’s a great time to start capturing memories. Whether they are pushing up, sitting, or standing.
I’ve worked with babies and their families for nearly 18 years, even before I had my own daughter (currently 13 going on 15), so I have experienced it all 🙂
I love watching them grow, and often my families in the past have returned with a new sibling for a new photo shoot. Every portrait session is as unique as the family I am photographing.
I look forward to working with you to create beautiful, timeless portraits you’re proud to share and enjoy for a long time.
Photographs in a Shoebox Podcast
I am really passionate about helping, and inspiring you to tell your family’s story in photographs. So much so, I started my own podcast in 2021, called Photographs in a Shoebox to share and explore different ways of preserving your everyday memories.
