Mum of 2, newborn photographer in Kent and your calm presence during those precious early days.
With over 10 years of experience photographing babies and families, I specialise in creating a gentle, stress-free experience where you can simply relax and enjoy the moment while I capture it for you.
Based in Folkestone, I provide calm, cosy and baby-led studio sessions designed to safely capture your baby's first precious days and create memories your family will treasure forever.
The whole process of booking the shoot was simple and Justine was so friendly. On the day, she made us feel so relaxed and we really enjoyed the experience, she was so good with our little one and had such a caring nature and creative eye! We have now received our photos and they are so beautiful- we will definitely contact Justine again for future photos!

Once again, you have done incredible!
Once again, you have done incredible with the photos and really showed not only the incredible bond between me and my little best friend but also his personality. It was really lovely when he suggested some poses and you leant a kind ear and listened so thank you for that, it really is appreciated.Â

Patient, calm and attentive
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 recommendÂ

Happy, Calm and Patient
We have had two sittings, Nov 2024 and Nov 2025. Justine made myself and the children feel welcome, comfortable and at ease. She remained happy, calm and patient whilst trying to manage three excited children who at times were a challenge! The result, beautiful, professional photographs.

The photos turned out absolutely beautiful
We had such a wonderful experience! 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! Weâll definitely be coming back for more in the future

We are over the moon!
An amazing experience from start to finish! Justine is a truly talented photographer. It was a pleasure to meet her and watch her work. She has such a calming, gentle touch, which kept our newborn relaxed throughout the entire photo shoot. We are over the moon with our photos and will definitely be booking another session in the future.

Justine brought my vision to life
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!

I was able to feed the babies whenever they needed it
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.

Think youâve missed the chance on having newborn photos?
You havenât! I photograph Newborns up to 8 weeks old. Yes they might be a little bigger and little more alert but your bond would have already grown so much and those cuddles will be even more special now that theyâre a little bigger. The best part of photographing your 8 weeks old baby? All the expressions when theyâre awake and, very often, they can smile already đ„č

« Iâm not photogenic » « Iâm too big » « I wouldnât know what to wear » « Iâll book one when I feel more myself » « Iâd rather spend the money on the baby »
Hereâs the thing⊠almost every mum who walks into my studio has said one of those things.
Yet, after the session, they all say « Iâm so glad I did it » đ„č
One day, your bump will be gone, but these photographs will always take you back to the incredible journey of growing your little one. đ€

We cannot recommend White Shadows Photography enough Justine put us (and our baby) completely at ease from the booking process to the photos and selecting and purchasing our favourite images. She was so calm, gentle and patient with our daughter, and it was amazing to see how settled she was with her, our baby actually slept for nearly the whole session.
The whole experience was just lovely. There was no rushing and Justine was there to make it a lovely and special experience for all of us.
The photos are incredibly beautiful. They are more beautiful than I could ever have imagined and I am so glad we did it and have those photos to treasure for ever.
I'm so grateful we found White Shadows Photography we will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives.

Second time for us to visit the amazing Justine for our second daughterâs cake smash and we were just as impressed as the first time.
Justine is incredibly gentle, patient, and caring with babies/ kids, which made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable for my daughter and us. Itâs clear that photography is more than just a job for her - you can truly see the passion, love, and dedication she puts into every photo she takes.
The final pictures are absolutely beautiful and captured such precious moments that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Justine to anyone looking for a talented photographer who genuinely cares about creating special memories for families.
Once again, thank you so much Justine! A bientĂŽt đ„°

Justine is amazing at what she does, her attention to detail, patience and photography skills are just *chefs kiss*
We had our first newborn session with Justine a few weeks ago in her cosy studio and it was a really lovely experience, our baby girl was a bit challenging; waking up throughout the session but Justine was so gentle and caring she still managed to get really stunning shots of our baby and family pictures.
The pictures are just beautiful, high quality and we received them back quickly. Genuinely couldnât recommend a kinder lady, made us feel welcome and at ease. Looking forward to booking more shoots with Justine in the future.
Thank you so much Justine! Highly recommend x

We had the most incredible experience with Justine, having a new born photo shoot with props. Justine was so warm and welcoming and handled our baby with such skill and care. The whole morning was a special and memorable experience and the resulting photos are simply fantastic. I canât recommend Justine highly enough and we will treasure the pictures forever

We used White Shadows Photography for a photoshoot of our then 8 week old baby, and Justine was absolutely fantastic! She was so welcoming and calm, and clearly has a real passion for baby photography. We are over the moon with the photos and really enjoyed the experience she provided. Would highly recommend to any family looking to capture memories of their little one. Thanks Justine!
