Mother & Baby Photoshoot
Cherish the Early Days with Heartfelt Photography
There’s nothing quite like the first days, weeks, and months shared between a mother and her baby. At Clive Westcott Photography, we specialise in capturing these irreplaceable moments through natural, emotive photography that reflects the deep bond between parent and child. Based in Blandford Forum, Dorset, and travelling across the county, we offer relaxed mother and baby photoshoots tailored to your routine – whether in your home, our studio, or a favourite outdoor location.
What to Expect from Your Mother & Baby Session?
Unrushed, Baby-Led Approach
Our sessions are designed to be calm, flexible, and guided by your baby’s natural rhythm. Feeding breaks, nappy changes, and cuddle time are all welcomed—there’s no pressure and no ticking clock.
Home-Based Comfort
Most of our shoots take place in your home, where your baby feels safest. This familiar setting ensures the most relaxed and authentic photographs, without the need to travel or disrupt routines.
Evening Availability for Working Families
We understand that many parents have busy daytime schedules. That’s why Clive offers evening sessions, making it easier for working parents—particularly dads—to be part of the experience without rearranging work commitments.
Your Props, Your Style
We encourage families to personalise their session by using their own baby clothes, blankets, and sentimental items. Whether it’s a cherished teddy or a handmade outfit, these personal touches help tell your unique story. As sessions are typically conducted at your home, we do not provide props but are happy to work with what you bring.
Real-Time Previews for Peace of Mind
Using a tethered setup, you’ll be able to view images as they’re taken—adding fun to the session and ensuring everything looks just right.
Exclusive Offer: Maternity & Newborn Package
Book a maternity shoot and enjoy 50% off your newborn session. It’s the perfect way to document your journey into motherhood—from the anticipation to the first cuddles.
