Your newborn will never be this tiny again.

Right now there's a complimentary shoot and print offer: the session itself plus a mounted print of your favourite photograph, included free. The only upfront payment is a £45 booking fee, which is either refunded at your premiere appointment or put towards anything extra you choose. There's no obligation to buy beyond your included print, though most families do once they've seen their images. Additional artwork starts from £75 for mounted prints and £425 for wall art, with no hidden charges.

I understand wanting to share photos easily, so every piece of artwork you buy comes with its matching social-media-ready digital file. I don't offer a digitals-only package because too many beautiful images end up forgotten on a phone or an old USB stick. My products are made at a specialist professional lab and designed to last for hundreds of years, so you get something you'll enjoy every day and the digitals to share too.

I'm at Towcester Mill in Towcester, Northamptonshire, right next to the Watermeadows, so we can photograph in the studio and outdoors in one session. There's free parking directly outside and lift access to the studio. Most families travel in from across Northamptonshire, Milton Keynes and Buckinghamshire, and being just off the A5 makes it easy to find.

I recommend booking while you're still pregnant, ideally after your 20 week scan, as I only take three newborn sessions a week. I pencil you in for about a week after your due date and adjust once baby arrives. For sleepy, curled-up poses the first two weeks are ideal, but it is absolutely not too late if your baby is older, I photograph older newborns and babies all the time. If your baby's already here, get in touch anyway, last-minute spaces often open up.

Sessions start at 10am and usually last around two and a half hours, so I'd allow up to three and a half. This is one of the biggest differences between Miranda and most studios, which rush families through in under an hour. Your session is never hurried. There's all the time your baby needs for feeds, cuddles and settling, so nothing is forced and no moment is missed.

Always. Your baby's safety and comfort come before any photograph. I've trained extensively with internationally recognised newborn photographers and I'm up to date with paediatric first aid. Some of the more advanced poses you see online are actually composites, two images gently merged so your baby is supported at all times and never left unsupported for a shot. The whole session is calm, baby-led and unhurried.

This is the number one worry, and always the one parents needn't have had. Newborn sessions are completely baby-led with no time limits, so we stop for feeding, cuddles, winding or settling whenever your baby needs it. Your baby doesn't have to sleep on cue or hold a pose, and some of the loveliest images come from the wide-awake, milk-drunk moments in between. And if it's simply not their day, we call it and rearrange free of charge.

Almost everyone says exactly this. You don't need any experience, I guide you through the whole session, where to stand and what to do with your hands, so nothing feels stiff. The best photographs usually come from the natural moments anyway. As for reluctant partners, I hear it weekly, and they're very often the ones who get the most emotional at the premiere once they see the images.

Your baby, your decision. Before every session you'll get a permissions form to tell me exactly what you're comfortable with. If you'd prefer your images never appear on social media, my website or anywhere public, that's absolutely fine, your files are immediately marked "no media" so there's never any confusion. I never use names or tag you unless you ask.
