Baby and Children Photography in Cornwall


They grow and change in the blink of an eye. One moment they’re tiny newborns, the next they’re giggling, babbling, and toddling around with chubby legs that somehow slim down before you’ve had time to notice. That’s why capturing these fleeting stages through professional baby and children photography is so important.

 

Whether your little one is just a few weeks old or already running circles around you, every age offers its own magic. If you missed a newborn session, don’t worry—babies at 2, 3, or 4 months are just as photogenic and full of charm.

And once they can sit unaided, a whole new world of adorable portrait possibilities opens up.

Babies & Children

👶 Experienced Baby & Children Photographer in Cornwall

Maryna has been photographing babies and children in Cornwall since 2013, offering heartfelt, natural portraits that celebrate real moments. Based in St Austell, her photo studio is a welcoming space for families, and she also offers location sessions across Cornwall.

🏞️ Studio & Location Sessions

Sessions can take place either at our cosy photo studio in St Austell or outdoors at a beautiful location in Cornwall. For older children, location shoots are often more relaxed and fun—perfect for letting them run free and be themselves. These sessions typically last around 2 hours and feel more like a walk than a formal shoot. And yes, pets are absolutely welcome!

📅 Booking Your Session

Once we’ve answered your questions and confirmed your booking, we’ll schedule your session at a time that suits you. Before the shoot, we’ll have a full consultation—either by phone or email—to discuss your preferences, styling, and any special ideas you’d like to include.

On the day, feel free to bring your favourite outfits for your child and yourself. We also offer a selection of sweet baby clothes and gowns to add a unique touch to your portraits. For tips on what to wear, check out our Q&A section below.

🖼️ Viewing & Fees

After your session, we’ll invite you back to the studio (usually within 7–10 days) to view your beautifully edited images in person.

  • Studio or local sessions (within 7 miles of St Austell): £35 session fee
  • Location sessions beyond 7 miles: £35 session fee + £40 travel fee

The session fee secures your time slot and is non-refundable. However, if we don’t meet your expectations, we’ll gladly refund it—your satisfaction matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What should i wear for the family photo session?

A: It is always suggested to go for the clothing in natural colours (blue, beige, white, brown) without distracting numbers, letters or logos.
Please do not choose black and white boldly patterned and stripy t-shirts or tops, beach shorts and flip-flops! Though they are great for the holiday wear, they do not contribute to good portraiture.
Collared shirts of a single colour or of very gentle pattern are the best for men and boys.
Brightness and busy-ness of clothing make pictures look busy and distract attention from main – a person on the photo.
For family and sibling portraits, colour coordinated clothing is the best. Bringing a few changes of outfits will make great variety in your pictures. We will help you to mix and match if you are not sure.

Q: How many people can take part in the family session?

A: No family is too small or too large. We photographed large groups of around 20 people. In studio however it could be a little bit busy with very big families, however it is still doable,

Q: What if my child will not cooperate?

A: Young children can be handful and cause parents a lot of stress during the photo session. The way to deal with them is to give them time and not to force them to do anything, and eventually they may want to come and join in. The more stressed the parent becomes, the naughtier is the toddler, so the best approach is to stay calm. Photo sessions on location tend to be a bit more relaxed for the kids as there is more space for them to run around.

If however, nothing works, we reschedule the session for another day (it however never happened!)
