Rachel Hale Photography

If you are considering a newborn shoot please do get in touch as soon as possible to avoid disappointment as slots do book up well in advance. We class newborn babies as between 4 and 14 days old. Once a baby is over 14 days old it is much more difficult to acheive the kind of images you will see on the site such as the calm sleeping curled up photos.

The maternity sessions are all shot by Rachel, as we believe that having a female photographer will help give you the confidence which will show through in your photographs. The best time to do a maternity session is between 32 and 36 weeks, although it can be done at any stage you choose. You can choose to come to this shoot with your partner, your other children or you can bring along a friend or mum.

Alongside Steve I have been photographing weddings for around 10 years now and over the last couple of years started shooting a small number of weddings alone. My style is to capture the essence of the day and the personalities of my bride and grooms and I have a relaxed and informal approach to wedding photography, trying to be as unobtrusive as possible as the day is all about you!

In the privacy and calm of our studio or out having fun on location we offer a contemporary photographic style with our relaxed approach. The best way to great photographs is in a friendly atmosphere so we dont have a fixed time limit on sessions and we dont have to hurry.

A session can be for individual baby or child with siblings the whole family or just adults, you will then be presented with a great selection of photographs which you can choose from.For maternity shoots you have a choice of either a studio shoot with Rachel or a lifestyle maternity shoot outdoors.
