Stress free and in your own home.
Lifestyle Newborn Sessions
Your newborn is amazing but with sleepless nights and constant feeds I know a newborn can be tiring and stressful too. The last thing you really want to do is to travel all the way to a studio for a photography session especially if you've a toddler to wrangle as well.
Instead let me come to you.
My lifestyle newborn sessions focus on the love and connection between you and your newborn. If you’re looking for natural photos of your baby and you hate the idea of cheesy props you've come to the right place.
"We had a newborn photoshoot with Luke and would definitely recommend, he is a brilliant photographer. Luke came to our home which was a lot more relaxed than going to a studio and it meant our dog could get in the shots too! The photos were natural and captured us as a family. Luke was great with our baby and made us feel comfortable, as he was so patient when the inevitable crying started! The photos have come out lovely and speak for themselves."

Fun, relaxed and outdoors in stunning locations
Lifestyle Family Sessions
There are never any forced smiles or been told to look at the camera waiting awkwardly to be given the all clear the photo has been taken. Instead the session are designed to be as enjoyable as possible so by the time we've finished you'll be surprised it's already been an hour.
A family photo session gets everyone involved. Too often there is always someone missing from the family photos. Usually mum who along with making sure everyone is enjoying themselves is documenting it all too.
"We loved our photography session. Luke was very friendly and our session was very relaxed. Our 3 year old daughter Isabelle loved it to. The photos are beautifully done.
Thank you so much for our photography session and photos"
—Kate Woollaston
As we never do fake smiles. Only genuine grins and laughter.
Hey, I'm Luke
I'm a lifestyle portrait photographer specialising in family and newborn photography. I'm based in Staffordshire and cover the surrounding areas.
Why do I focus solely on newborn and family photography. It's simple, there are numerous reasons but a couple are I love knowing that as families grow older they'll always have something to look back on.
"We recently had a family photo shoot with Luke and had so much fun. It was lovely to be outside in natural surroundings rather than a studio and the kids had lots of room to run around and Luke captured some great natural shots. Lovely experience with some beautiful memories to treasure."
