If you're looking to capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments with your newborn, we can't recommend White Shadows Photography enough.
Justine went above and beyond to ensure our baby was comfortable and happy throughout the session.
Her studio was really clean and cosy.
We are really happy with the results and will cherish each photograph forever.

Found White Shadows Photography through instagram and booked a Valentines mini session for my 1 year old. It was a wonderful experience from start to end. Justine was very welcoming to us on the day and made a lot of effort to get some smiles from my wary and straightfaced baby. The results of the shoot are absolutely beautiful. Pictures we will treasure forever. We have had very quick responses to any messages sent, with pictures being returned for viewing within 4 days, and all being done for a very reasonable price. Could not be happier. Thankyou very much Justine - we would not hesitate to recommend you to others looking for a photographer.

Justine is the most incredible photographer and is such a friendly, warm and professional lady. My 1 year old had a mini session with her (20 mins) and settled in straight away, with no issues and LOTS of smiles!! She’s a bit wary of new people usually, so it’s a huge compliment to Justine that she was so happy around her instantly. Thank you so much for the amazing photos, which were sent within just a few days! We’ll definitely be visiting again!

What an amazing experience with our new born and family.
Over the moon with out photos. The little details just made all the difference, a baby 'rockit' to gently rock baby whilst he was having his photos taken as well as this a soothing 'shoosher' noise maker and hot water bottles to keep him all toasty. On top of that Justine is a lovely welcoming lady.
Thank you for having us!x

Justine was an absolute superstar. The photos are stunning and the entire experience was really enjoyable. She even managed to bring out some toys to keep my other child occupied so we could focus on the newborn shoot. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Justine and have already booked for our Christmas mini shoot. Can’t wait to work with her again.

Fantastic experience with Justine. My son was teething on the day of the photoshoot and she managed to capture his personality in the photos despite his mood. She also made the rest of the family feel really comfortable. Really happy with the images

We attended for a newborn photo shoot when our baby was only 8 days old. Justine had our new born settled, she knew exactly what to do. The whole experience was a calm and peaceful and the photos which capture such a special time of our lives are just beautiful. Thank you for fitting us in and for capturing such a special time for us all. We can look back at years to come of this moment.
I have recommended Justine to family and friends and will continue to do so.

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 x x x
If you’ve followed me for a while, you know the effort that goes behind the scenes! It doesn’t just stop at having your session in the studio, it’s about making those photographs stand out 🤍
Nothing major though if you look closely, all the details are there but they are enhanced so that you can see them clearly and remember them every time you look back 🤩
Now we all know the heartburn tale and the head full of hair but did you know that it’s actually link with a mix of genetics and hormone exposure?
Higher level of certain hormones can stimulate hair growth, nothing to do with heartburn really I guess 🙈 did you also know that hair growth also happen in cycles and if your baby was born with a lot of hair it might be because they were in a phase of rapid growth 🥰
Our little girl had no hair but our baby boy had soooo much when he was born, he was 5 days overdue, maybe it was linked, who knows 🤭
Was your baby born with a lot of hair?

There’s something special about the last days of summer, when the light turns soft and golden and I always feel like life starts to slow down again.
This was my very first photoshoot at the beach, and I absolutely loved capturing these moments full of joy, movement (a lot of it !!! 😂), and connection.
I’m thinking of offering beach sessions like this on a more regular basis, so if you’d love timeless family memories by the sea, stay tuned… 🌊

A lot of very interesting facts there! I’m a September baby myself as so far I don’t seem to tick many of the boxes but I most definitely am a perfectionist (which isn’t always a good thing 🙈)
Also, I’m not convinced I’ll see my 100th birthday 😂😂
Anyway, my birthday is on the 20th, do I share it with any of your September babies?? 😍

If you look closely at this little nose, you’ll see small white bumps often called “milk spots” (the medical name is milia). They’re really common in newborns and nothing to worry about 🥰
👉 So why do they appear? Milia form when tiny flakes of skin get trapped in small pockets under the surface. Since a newborn’s skin is still learning how to renew itself, these little spots pop up on the nose, cheeks, or chin. They’re completely harmless, and usually fade on their own within a few weeks.
As a newborn photographer, I LOVE capturing these little details in macro shots , the skin texture, button noses, pouty lips, and yes, even those milk spots. They’re part of your baby’s story in those early days, a stage that passes so quickly but is so worth remembering. 💕
Because when you look back, it’s often the tiny things that make the biggest memories 📸
