Newborn Photography in St Austell, Cornwall – Capture the First Precious Days

Newborns change in the blink of an eye. One moment they’re tiny, curled up and sleepy—and the next, they’re smiling, giggling, and growing fast. At The Old Mill Studios in St Austell, we specialise in newborn photography that preserves these fleeting moments forever.

 

Many parents tell us, “I wish we’d had newborn photos taken when they were tiny.” Don’t let this beautiful stage pass by undocumented. Our professional newborn photo sessions in Cornwall are designed to create timeless keepsakes you’ll treasure for years—and your child will love seeing them too.

🧡 Why Choose Newborn Photography?

The first few weeks of life are filled with delicate details: tiny fingers, soft skin, sleepy yawns. These moments are impossible to recreate later. That’s why newborn photography is best scheduled within 10–14 days after birth, when babies are most settled and easy to pose. But don’t worry—older babies are welcome too, and we’ve captured stunning results with newborns well beyond that window.

Maryna has been a specialist newborn photographer in Cornwall since 2010. She’s trained with one of the UK’s leading newborn photographers to ensure your baby’s safety and comfort throughout the session. Your little one will be kept warm, snug, and secure at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I still have newborn photos if my baby is more than 14 days old?

A: Yes, you can! For the best results we recommend to have them 14 days old and under, however sometimes due to various circumstances parents miss the time slot. It depends very much on the baby if it settles. Some will sleep beautifully, the others will be more fussy, but nevertheless there still will be great shots.

Q: What happens if my baby doesn’t settle?

A: Little ones like to be warm and snug, as it is how they are for 9 months while in mummy’s tummy. While we do our best to keep the room warm, some babies do not like to be undressed and unconstrained. In such cases wrapping is the key. There is a variety of wraps available to match different colour themes for both boys and girls. Once wrapped up babies tend to go into deep sleep, then we move on to unswaddled poses. All babies sleeping eventually. It is the game of patience.

Q: Can we have family and siblings photos with the baby during the newborn session?

A: Of cause you can! We always encourage people to have them done!

 

"Amazing photographer who photographed our family for many years, producing stunning pictures, would definitely recommend!"
