YOUR NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

Newcastle upon Tyne | Tyne & Wear | North East England

Monika Meska Photography, London Family Photographer

Hi there ! I'm Monika, your newborn photographer

I’ve recently moved to beautiful Tyne & Wear after six years as a full-time photographer in London, and I am excited to photograph here.

I absolutely adore newborn photography! My style is simple, relaxed, and baby-friendly. No fancy props or stiff poses—just you and your growing family, perfect as you are. In the cozy comfort of your home, without the hassle of traveling anywhere.

Tiny toes, chubby faces—the fleeting beauty of your newest family member is worth remembering. I’ll capture forever those sweet, candid moments, lovely details, and beautiful portraits of the whole family, including siblings, pets, and sometimes grandparents too.

No worries if you’re shy or not a fan of having your picture taken—I’m here to help you capture wonderfully natural and beautiful portraits. I put a lot of heart into every single photoshoot, tailoring it to your family’s needs. My aim is to give you photos that you’ll proudly display on your walls.

Let’s make some magic together!

Capturing beauty of family life with a newborn

THE PROCESS

NEWBORN PHOTOSHOOT – AN ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE FROM BEGINNING TO END

Before your newborn session

To secure your booking I’ll send a quick contract and invoice. I’ll also ask you to fill out a questionnaire to understand your expectations better. Based on your answers and a chat, I’ll create a personalised photoshoot plan. You’ll also receive a prep guide with tips on what to wear and how to prepare.

During your newborn session

The newborn session is a relaxed and baby-led experience, honoring your family’s unique dynamics. It’s a warm and welcoming time filled with cuddles, laughter, and love. I’ll offer gentle guidance on posing and provide support, but our focus remains on authenticity and genuine connections. Together, we’ll document precious, unscripted moments, embracing the beauty of your family and your newborn.

After your newborn session

I will take care of your final images. I will carefully select and edit all the best photographs from your newborn session, creating a beautiful story of your growing family to cherish forever. Each image will be edited in color and also in black and white versions. You will also have the option to order the highest quality locally handcrafted albums, prints, and wall art.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Many clients like to schedule sessions around the 20-week scan, but it’s okay if you prefer later. Some book last-minute sessions after the baby’s arrival, if lucky. To avoid disappointment, I recommend booking 2-3 months in advance. We will pencil in a date, and once the baby arrives, we’ll confirm all the details.

Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many people feel that way. But don’t let it stop you from capturing sweet memories with your family. I’ll help you relax and feel comfortable so that I can capture your best side without any awkward posing.

 

Your home is perfect just as it is! We don’t need much, just access to some windows for natural light. Whether your home is a studio apartment or a grand mansion, it’s ideal for capturing beautiful moments with your newborn. Embracing your home as part of the images will make them even more special and personal to you.

The sweet spot is usually within the first two weeks when your little one is super sleepy and cuddly. But don’t worry, we can capture precious moments up to 12 weeks after birth too! Just keep in mind, the older they get, the more aware and less like a newborn they look.

Absolutely! We can definitely arrange an outdoor photoshoot. While many of my clients prefer sessions at home for the convenience and intimacy they offer, outdoor shoots can be equally charming! Whether it’s amidst lush greenery or by the seaside, the choice is entirely yours. Pick a place that holds a special meaning for you, and let’s capture this wonderful moment in your family’s journey, celebrating the newest addition to your family
