Why Choose a natural Scandinavian Style for Your Newborn Photographs

When you’re choosing a newborn photographer, it’s often the feeling of the photographs that draws you in. Not just how they look now, but how you imagine they’ll feel years from now — displayed in your home or carefully kept in one of my white print collection boxes.

If you like a simple, uncluttered style, whether it’s in your home or in the clothes you wear , then I’m guessing that you’ll love my Scandinavian style because it’s natural, calm, and minimal. It strips everything back so the focus stays exactly where it should be — on your baby. Soft whites, gentle light, and natural textures create a space where nothing feels busy or distracting. Your baby isn’t lost amongst props or colours. They’re just photographed as they are, in this fleeting newborn moment.

This style is timeless because it doesn’t follow trends. There’s nothing to date the photographs, nothing that will feel out of place in ten or twenty years. When you look back, you’ll see your tiny newborn, their features, their expressions, the way they fitted so perfectly in your arms — not the styling choices of a particular year. And best of all, you’ll never have that “oh no, what were we thinking?” moment that sometimes comes with overly themed or brightly coloured shoots.

The calm nature of Scandinavian photography also shapes the experience itself. My studio is a quiet, gentle space, and I work in an unhurried way, following your baby’s lead. There’s no pressure for them to “perform” or settle quickly. Babies pick up on energy, and when everything around them feels soft and relaxed, they usually respond beautifully.

I believe newborn photography should feel just as peaceful as the images themselves. I take the utmost care with every baby I photograph, treating them with the same patience and tenderness I would my own grandchildren. You’re never rushed, and your baby’s comfort always comes first.

If you’re drawn to natural, light-filled images that feel calm, simple, and full of love, a Scandinavian newborn session might be just right for you. These are photographs designed to stand the test of time, quietly telling the story of your baby’s very first days.

If you’d like to talk about booking a session or simply have a few questions, you’re very welcome to get in touch. That said, you don’t need to speak to me beforehand if you don’t want to — you can book your newborn session directly through my website, and everything will be ready for you when you arrive. I’m always happy to answer any questions, but either way, I’ll make sure your session is calm, simple, and full of love — and that you come away with beautiful, timeless photographs of your little one.
