Hello, I am Francesca.

I am a newborn, maternity, baby and family photographer based in Cambridge, UK. Since 2010 I have welcomed so many babies into this world, seen many families growing, and created precious memories for them.

My work is simple on purpose. No baskets, no funky props, no distractions — only you, your baby, and the light.

Chapter One

Maternity

Capturing the incredible changes your body is going through, and the miracle it is creating — always with you and your bump as my only focus.

Chapter Two

Newborn

Your baby is this small for a very short time. No baskets, no funky props — only your baby, exactly as perfect as she or he is.

Chapter Three

Baby

A comfortable, safe environment where babies and toddlers can play — so I can capture their unique personality in natural, candid photographs.

Chapter Four

Family

Nothing staged, nothing formal. A space where you and your children can simply be who you are, in authentic family moments.

Every session takes place in a calm, quiet studio near Cambridge. There is no rush and no schedule to keep — babies set the pace, and I follow.

Mornings, usually

Sessions are normally held in the morning. If an afternoon suits your family better, ask when you enquire and it can be arranged.

Neutral tones

Creams, whites and warm greys, so the photographs will still feel right in twenty years.

Parents included

The photographs that matter most are the ones with you in them.

Unhurried

Feeding, settling, starting again. A newborn session takes as long as it takes.
