A tangible legacy celebrating your new family which becomes more precious as time moves on.
Designed with you in mind, giving the best quality, hand selected, hand finished (and only things we fell in love with) just for you
It can be scary doing something for the first time, especially when it's something as important as your family and the ones who mean the most to you. We know most people haven't been lucky enough to have a photo session before and worry about how it all works, and importantly how much it will cost
We don't choose our products, you do, over decades our customers help tell us what they love the most and so that is what we offer, no hidden catches, no cheap rubbish, no confusing terminology, and most importantly nothing to worry about just beautiful products and prices you can see
Welcoming a new baby is a truly special moment, and with over 35 years of experience, we know how to create beautiful, timeless newborn portraits just for you. If you’re unsure where to start, just give us a call—we’d love to chat and help plan your perfect session.
Here are some of our newborn collections, but we have plenty more available. If you’re looking for something specific that you don’t see here, please don’t hesitate to ask.

WE LOVE OUR WORK
Over the last 35 years, we have taken a lot of photos!
It has been amazing for us to have been included in our clients lives - shooting their weddings, their growing families, their children growing up. Some of our very first tiny babies are now coming back to us with their babies - mindblowing - just like to say we started out when we were very very young!!!!
Along with all the family and occasion photoshoots we offer magical fairy theme shoots and fun filled Christmas shoots.
We have a fabulous garden studio based at our home. Being out of town gives us a tranquil studio environment which puts everyone at ease ready for relaxing family photoshoot. Easy to locate with free parking to boot. What's not to like?
IN SAFE HANDS

A massive thank you from myself and family, it was an absolute pleasure with the twins. We are so glad we choose you and the photos are amazing, we're over the moon.

Congratulations on the arrival of your precious little one!
This is a very special time and we would be honoured to help you capture it by creating beautiful newborn pictures.
During those first few days, your baby is still so new and delicate, with tiny fingers and toes and cute little curled-up arms and legs. Let us create timeless images that capture this unique moment in time - images that you will cherish forever.
We will take the time to photograph your baby in different poses and with different props, such as heirloom outfits or special blankets or toys that you would like included. We will also take images of the proud parents with your baby, creating your very first family portrait. Siblings are more than welcome, so please let us know who will be joining you.
We understand how precious your little one is, which is why we approach every newborn photoshoot with love, care, and respect. We feel humbled when parents trust us with their newborns, and we will do everything we can to create beautiful, irreplaceable pictures that you can cherish for a lifetime.
So, let us help you celebrate this new life by creating beautiful newborn pictures that you can treasure forever.
We hope you will fand the answers you need here, if not please do get in touch...
We are based on the Luton & Dunstable borders, out of town and really easy to find with free parking.
That's absolutely fine. If you still have some weeks to go, then give us a call and we can book a flexible 'floating date'. Babies arrive when they are ready, we totally understand but by booking a floating date, we then adjust our diary around this .
First, congratulations. Newborn shoots usually take place between 0-12 days when baby is still curled up and sleepy, so if that's your baby then give us a call today. If your little one is over 12 days, then please still call, we can book you in but some poses may change and we need to go through this with you first.
Yes of course. It's a lovely chance for your first family portrait. Little brothers and sisters can sometimes get overwhelmed by the session, so a bit of forward planning is a good idea if they are to be included. Please speak to us about this, we have lots of ways to help and lots of experience.
We do have a range of outfits and materials for baby but if you have a special outfit and want your baby to be photographed wearing this then please bring this along. We have a range of colour schemes and we can discuss this nearer the time of your shoot. We will provide a guide which should deal with your queries, but if there is anything else you want to know about, please call us.
We are guided by baby on this one. We don't rush the stars of the show. We wait until they are nice and settled before starting. It's a good idea to bring water with you and maybe a snack and all the baby supplies. It could last a couple of hours so please make sure you allow for this, especially if you have other children who may need looking after or collecting from school.
Oakley Studios hours Wednesday to Saturday 9.00 am - 5.00 p.m.. However, due to the nature of our work we are flexible so its always best to call us for a chat about this. All of our portrait session are by appointment only
Our booking fee for Newborn photoshoots is £49 which includes a gift image in a frame. Our digital collections start from £299
