Welcome to Smile Baby! My name is Rachel and I am a professional photographer specialising in newborn and baby photography across Hertfordshire and Essex. My style is natural, my philosophy is simple and my work speaks for itself! As a mother myself I understand the importance of patience and empathy towards both mum and baby and through this I capture the moments, which the family will treasure forever.
Newborn photography is best captured between day 5 and 10 when baby is still sleepy and is yet to stretch out fully. This makes for the most beautiful of shots and provisional bookings are advised ahead of birth to guarantee availability.
