NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY
The Newborn Days
Feel Long. They Pass in a Heartbeat.
Most parents book from their 20-week scan to ensure their baby is photographed under 14 days old.
My diary is limited to 8 newborns per month so that every baby receives the time,
patience and care they deserve — and every family leaves with images that take their breath away.
You Are In Experienced Hands
A NOTE FROM OLIVIA
Have you thought about
how quickly these First Days will
pass by in the blink of an eye or baby yawn?
One day your children won't care if your hair wasn't done, if you were carrying baby weight, or if you felt exhausted and unseen and distracted with lists of shopping and chores waiting for you.
They will just want proof that you were there.
Mums are so often the memory keepers of the family that they forget to step into the frame themselves.
Psychologically, photographs matter more than we realise. They become anchors for identity, belonging, safety and love.
Children grow up looking for themselves in their family story and they need to see you in them too.
Your children won't see the flaws you focus on.
They'll see the way you held them. The way you looked at them. The way they were loved. Your portrait will evoke memories of how you smelt, how safe you made them feel and how much they wanted to be just like you.
SO PLEASE DO EXPECT TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED, IT'S MY ONE BIG CAREER MISSION TO MAKE MUMS SEEN!
The Photographer
I'm a mum to my wild child, the light of my life and the very reason this business exists, my daughter Lucia. Even if she does make me turn my music down three roads away from school drop off, because I am apparently no longer cool... and cool is now an embarrassing word. I'm also a French Bulldog mum to Rose & Oakley, my little love puffs, and the photographer behind Olivia Christina Photography.
I've been doing this job for over a decade, and I still haven't found the words to describe what it feels like when a brand new baby settles in my arms.
I didn't choose newborn photography. It chose me. Babies have always sought me out — in supermarket queues, in waiting rooms, wherever I am. I make them feel safe, and that's not a skill I learned. It's just who I am. The skills came after, with extensive training across the UK, USA and Australia.
Multi award-winning, with bundles of five-star reviews later, I'm still just as obsessed with this job as day one. If you're expecting and wondering whether to book — I'd genuinely love to chat.

About the Studio
YOUR SANCTUARY IN WATTON AT STONE The studio has a new home from July 1st— and it's rather a special one. You'll find us at 89a High Street, Watton at Stone, tucked inside a Grade II listed building that has stood on this village high street for centuries. Once a saddlery, the building carries the kind of quiet character that can't be manufactured — original features, thick walls, and a sense of history in every corner. It feels like exactly the right place to do meaningful work. Watton at Stone is one of those Hertfordshire villages that reminds you why people choose to put down roots here. Sitting comfortably between Hertford, Ware and Stevenage, it's genuinely easy to reach from all directions — without the traffic, the car parks, or the rush. The village itself is unhurried and family-focused, the kind of place where you might pop into Crumbs café for a coffee and a slice of something homemade before your session, or simply take a gentle stroll down the high street while your baby settles. It feels fitting to bring families to a place like this — somewhere with warmth and a story of its own.
