Natural, Relaxed Newborn Photography at Home (Exeter & Devon)
Those early days with your baby are a blur of love, emotion, and quiet moments you wish you could hold onto for just a little longer.
What to expect
Newborn sessions are fully baby-led and unhurried. There’s no strict schedule, we simply follow your baby’s needs. Whether your little one is awake, asleep, feeding, or needing extra cuddles, everything is welcome. I’ll gently guide you where needed, but nothing will ever feel forced or overly posed. Partners and siblings are always included, helping to tell the story of your growing family in a natural and meaningful way.
When is the best time for a newborn session?
When is the best time for a newborn session? Newborn sessions are usually held within the first 5–14 days after birth, when babies are still very sleepy and curled up. However, this is only a guide. Beautiful, meaningful images can be captured at any stage, so if a little more time has passed, please don’t worry.
When should I book?
The ideal time to book your newborn session is during pregnancy, as availability is limited. I’ll reserve space around your due date, and once your baby arrives, we’ll schedule your session at a time that suits you and your little one.
While most families book ahead, I do keep a small amount of flexibility for last-minute enquiries whenever possible.
Kind Words
I honestly can’t recommend Stacey Megan photography enough after our newborn home photo shoot
From the very beginning Stacey was warm, patient, and incredibly professional. Inviting someone into your home during those early days with a newborn can feel a bit overwhelming, but she made the entire process feel relaxed and natural. It didn’t feel staged or awkward at all — just very natural and comfortable, which is exactly what we needed at that stage.
Stacey took the time to understand what we wanted, while also gently guiding us with her expertise. She was so patient with our baby and didn’t rush anything, which I really appreciated.
The photos turned out absolutely beautiful. Stacey captured all those little moments and details that you don’t want to forget.
Overall, such a lovely experience and I’m so glad we did it. I’d definitely recommend Stacey Megan Photography to anyone thinking about a newborn shoot.

A gentle note
Those early days can feel overwhelming and emotional, and it’s completely okay if things don’t feel “perfect.” These sessions aren’t about perfection, they’re about remembering how it felt. The tiny details, the closeness, and the beginning of your story together.
Natural Newborn Sessions at home FAQs
The answers to your questions
Why at home?
There’s something really special about staying in your own space, where everything already feels familiar.
You can relax, move at your own pace, and simply be together and that comfort naturally shows in your photographs.
How long will it take?
I allow around 1.5 to 3 hours, but nothing is rushed.
We follow your baby’s lead, with plenty of time for feeds, cuddles, and little pauses whenever they’re needed.
What if the baby is unsettled?
That’s completely okay. There’s no expectation for your baby to sleep or “behave” in a certain way.
Some of the most meaningful images come from those quieter moments being held, soothed, and close to you.
What should we wear?
Soft, neutral tones work beautifully and keep the focus on your connection.
Simple, comfortable pieces are perfect nothing too structured or busy. Think cosy, relaxed, and true to you.
I’ll send you a gentle guide beforehand to help you feel prepared, without overthinking it.
Is my home suitable?
AnswerIf you have a window, you have enough light.
I’ll work with whatever space you have and guide you along the way it’s always kept simple and relaxed.
What about light?
I use natural light, so we’ll choose a time of day when your home feels softly lit.
There’s no need for anything artificial just a calm, natural atmosphere.
Should we have props ready?
There’s no need to prepare anything extra.
These sessions are all about your baby and your connection as a family. I’ll bring a small selection of blankets and wraps, so everything is kept simple and natural.
If there’s something meaningful you’d like to include a special blanket, a gift, or something sentimental you’re very welcome to have it nearby.
Can we be in the photos too?
Always.
These moments are just as much about you as they are about your baby the way you hold them, look at them, and settle into this new chapter together.
Siblings are always welcome too, in whatever way feels natural for them.
I don’t feel very “put together” is that okay?
t’s more than okay. This stage can feel like a blur your body is recovering, you’re likely running on very little sleep, and everything is new.
You don’t need to be anything other than yourself. I’ll guide you gently and create space for you to simply be, just as you are.
What does the session feel like?
Quiet, slow, and unhurried.
There’s very little posing just small, gentle guidance so you can relax into the moment.
It’s about noticing the little things you might otherwise forget.
Do you travel?
Yes, I cover Exeter and the surrounding areas of Devon.
If you’re unsure, just ask I’m always happy to chat through the details.
When will we receive our images?
Your private online gallery will be ready within 2–3 weeks.
Each image is carefully edited in a soft, natural way, so it feels just as it did in the moment.
Once your gallery is ready, you can take your time choosing your favourite images or the collection that feels right for you.
