Specialist Newborn Photographer

Gemma Louise Photography

 

I’m a specialist newborn photographer based in Maldon Essex, with over 200 x five-star reviews across Google and Facebook, with a BA (Hons) Degree in Photography. I offer home visits to Maldon, Witham, Colchester and surrounding villages. I’m also a mum to two teenagers myself, so I truly understand just how quickly these early years pass.

​​​​

​Your baby’s safety is always my priority. I’m fully trained in newborn photography safety and, with over 15 years of experience handling and gently posing newborns, you can feel reassured that your little one is in careful, experienced hands. I understand which poses are appropriate and safe, how to properly support your baby’s delicate neck and body, and how to recognise those tiny cues that tell me when they need a pause, a cuddle, or a change of position.

​

Everything I do is baby-led and unhurried. I use gentle soothing techniques and move at your baby’s pace, allowing the session to flow naturally in a way that feels relaxed and seamless.

Alongside photographing families, I also teach newborn photography here in Essex, supporting other photographers in learning safe and thoughtful newborn practices.

These early days pass so quickly — I know that now more than ever. My aim is simply to give you a reassuring, unhurried experience and create timeless images that feel natural, heartfelt and truly yours. It would be a privilege to welcome you and capture this special chapter for your family 🤍

​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We first visited Gemma 8 years ago when my son was born and had amazing newborn photos done. I have followed Gemma ever since and was so happy to see that she was still doing photography when I found out we were expecting our second baby. We are blown away once again with the quality of the photos we have received from Gemma they are perfect in every way. Gemma was calm, professional and amazing with both my 8 year old son, who she let help pass her props and hold things for her, as well as my 2 week old daughter. My baby stayed calm and sleepy throughout thanks to Gemma’s experience. Gemma is fast to respond to any queries and also is very informative with the information pack beforehand to preview props and colours as well as a routine to do beforehand to help your baby stay sleepy which we found really helpful. I also found the website really easy to use when selecting photographs and purchasing additional ones as well as the download process. I would highly recommend Gemma to everyone to have the perfect newborn photography experience 💕Nikki

We are over the moon with our recent experience and photographs with Gemma. Our newborn was 18 days old on the day of the shoot and we have a 3 and 5 year old who came with us too. The studio was set up, warm and ready with space to sit and watch on as Gemma used her expertise to transition our baby out of his car seat while keeping him settled. We had chosen our props beforehand and Gemma had these ready, carefully and confidently handling our baby to get the best photos of him.
When it was time for sibling shots, our middle child’s behaviour was challenging at times but he responded well to Gemma and she worked enthusiastically and quickly to ensure that we got the best possible photos. Her experience with babies and families was very evident and she was equipped with many techniques and tactics to keep everybody happy and involved, even playing games with our eldest whilst I gave baby a short feed.
The whole shoot was complete within a hour and our photographs were in my inbox within days. Gemma made a small edit I had requested in no time at all and her communication was fantastic from my first enquiry right through to sharing the images with us.
Gemma’s packages are very reasonably priced for the service provided and we wouldn’t hesitate to return to her studio in the future - highly recommend!
Thank you for capturing special memories for us. X

Gemma had been recommended to me and I am so pleased she was.From start to finish Gemma was thoroughly, she kept me well informed and was very professional.One the day she kept my daughter calm (like the baby whisperer) she was great with my older son. Nothing was too much trouble.The pictures she has created for me are ones I will cherish forever.

"We had the most wonderful experience with Gemma as our newborn photographer. From the moment we arrived, she created such a calm, welcoming environment that instantly put both us and our baby at ease.Her gentle and patient approach with our little one was incredible to watch — she truly has a gift for working with newborns. Every pose was handled with care, and she made sure our baby was safe, comfortable, and content throughout the entire session. The photos turned out absolutely stunning. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any new parents"
