Newborn

Your baby will never be this small again so let's capture their tiny little features.

Baby/Sitter

Did you think you missed the Newborn window? Don't worry I've got you covered!

Milestone/Cake Smash

Did you blink and your baby turn one? Or maybe they even turned 5! Let's capture those bog milestones!

Family

For the whole family or just for your children, you decide! These can take place indoors in my studio in Hawkinge, Folkestone or outdoor.

Personality Mini Sessions

Let your kids be kids! Ideal for capturing the personality of your 2-10 years old.

We couldn't be happier

We recently had a newborn photoshoot with White Shadows Photography and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we arrived, Justine made us feel completely comfortable. Our little boy was a little fussy at times but she had him back to sleep in minutes, handling everything with so much care and patience.

The final photos are stunning - each one captured such beautiful moments that we’ll treasure forever. Every detail, from the lighting to the props to the soft edits, was perfect.

We’re so grateful to have these beautiful memories of our son’s earliest days. If you’re looking for someone who is both professional and passionate about what they do, we can’t recommend Justine and White Shadows Photography enough. Thank you again and we will definitely be coming back for future milestones!

We recently had a newborn shoot and sibling shoot, Justine was absolutely amazing in both, she is patient, calm, attentive and has a fantastic eye for detail and creativity.
Our photos have come out beautifully, the only difficult part is picking our favourite!
Would highly recommend.

We met Justine two and a half years ago for our newborn photoshoot for our son. She was so wonderful then that we followed her all the way to Folkstone for our newborn shoot for our daughter a few weeks ago. She is a wonderful photographer who gets the best out of the baby, parents and siblings. We are so pleased with our photo shoot - could not recommend more highly. I love the photos so much I'm thinking about having a third baby just to get the photos - just kidding! But she is amazing. Thanks Justine

We had such a wonderful experience with
White Shadows Photography! She is so warm and friendly, which made the whole session feel relaxed and enjoyable. She worked her magic to get our baby to smile, capturing the sweetest moments. Our baby Leo completely enjoyed the photoshoot. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful—we couldn’t be happier with the results! We’ll definitely be coming back for more in the future

I cannot recommend Justine highly enough!
She was fantastic with our new born baby, we felt completely at ease and enjoyed every moment of the shoot. She was so welcoming and friendly. She listened to my wishes and brought my vision to life!
We can’t wait to book in for our cake smash shoot in a years time!
Thank you again Justine, we love our photos! X

Justine did a newborn shoot of my twins and a few family photos too at her new studio in Hawkinge. It was really relaxed and I was able to feed the babies whenever they needed it. She was also wonderful with my toddler and got him to feel really excited about the shoot. It was great experience and the photos are excellent and we will treasure them forever. I would highly recommend Justine to anyone.

    Baby Girls’ names 🌸 Between January and now I have had so many baby girls so I thought I would share some of their lovely names with you all 🥰 Choosing the perfect name for your baby is such a special thing but yet can feel overwhelming ✨ It’s not just a name, it’s their name. The one they’ll carry through life. Some names come instantly, some take time, but when it clicks… you feel it 💛 A little piece of your heart wrapped in letters. It’a incredible how a single word can carry so much love, hope, and meaning. Our “baby” girl is called Violette, what’s yours called? 💗 #babynamejourney #purelove #newbornphotographerkent #folkestonenewbornphotographer #babyphotographerkent #babynames #girlsnames #babygirlnames

    Hi that’s me 👋🏻 There’s some new people here so I thought I’d tell you a bit more about me but I’ve kept it simple! The bottom line of this is, I’m just a mum doing her dream job and trying to juggle everything in this mad (but beautiful) life 😂 Now the question is, tea or coffee?? 🫖☕️ Family Photographer Kent Baby Photographer Folkestone Kent Newborn Photographer #aboutme #aboutthephotographer #newbornphotographerkent #folkestonefamilyphotographer #babyphotographerdover #studiophotographer #whiteshadowsphotography

    Meet baby Daniela, the little trooper who came for a photoshoot recently (and modelling my favourite pose!) This little beauty was born at 28 weeks and fought like a star 🥰 fun fact: she had her photoshoot on her actual due date and she was a dream to photograph 🥹 Premmies are so special and so they really shouldn’t miss out on a photoshoot. I have worked with a lot of premature babies in the past so depending on their own needs, I will always be able to recommend the best time to photograph them ❤️ Newborn photographer Kent Folkestone Newborn Photographer Baby Photographer Folkestone #premmie #earlybird #newbornphotographerfolkestone #kentnewbornphotographer #babyposedsafely #newbornphotographysafety #whiteshadowsphotography

    Friday can’t come soon enough, meanwhile I’ll also stuff my face with cake ! 🫣 Is it just me or the weeks leading up to the end of the school year are so tough? There’s so much going on with school, clubs and work and it’s hard to keep up!! Anyone else looking forward to a break ?? #cakesmashphotographer #cakesmashphotoshoot #cakesmashandsplash #babyphotographerkent #folkestonebabyphotographer #milestonephotography #whiteshadowsphotography

    I get asked a lot if I do weddings or branding shoots — and while I’m so flattered (really!), the answer is a gentle no ☺️ ⁣ I’ve chosen to pour my heart and energy into baby and family photography because that’s where my passion lives. Capturing those tiny toes, the first giggles, the cuddles, it’s a kind of magic I don’t want to undermine.⁣ ⁣ Weddings and branding photography are beautiful in their own ways, but I truly believe in mastering one craft rather than stretching myself thin. Babies grow fast, families change, and being there to freeze those fleeting moments? That’s my why.⁣ ⁣ So if you’re looking for a baby whisperer with a camera 📸 — I’m your girl. If you need a wedding or branding shoot, I’ve got some amazing recommendations 💌⁣ ⁣ Thanks for always supporting my little niche 🫶 Family Photographer Kent Baby Photographer Folkestone Folkestone Newborn Photographer #familyphotographerkent #newbornfolkestonephotographer #folkestonephotographer #folkestonefamilyphotoshoot #whiteshadowsphotography #photographyserviceskent #doverbabyphotographer #kentfamilies #folkestonemums
