Claire Grant Photography -Newborn & Baby Specialist

A return visit for Evie, one year on from her newborn shoot. She celebrates turning one today so what an honour for me. I was very excited when her parents asked for a unicorn them! Every girl loves a unicorn! Evie, you were the best mover and groover! Happy 1st Birthday. Cat's Creations you are amazing as always for creating such a stunning cake.

How many parents wish they had more photos of themselves with their babies? With my newborn session they are included at no extra cost. I just adore them.

Another gallery delivered and a happy client. A few of my favourites from this cake smash. As I am trying to loose the xmas pounds, I am really having to resist the urge to try some cake this January. It's really hard you know!

So my new wall art arrived just now. I got so excited I opened them straight away but wanted you all to see them. So excuse how unglamorous I look this was very unrehearsed.

The moment you carry them in your tummy, the moment you hold them in your arms for the first time, the moment they start to sit up and giggle and the first birthday they reach. All these moments are so precious. I specialise in capturing these moments so you can keep them forever. It's also why I offer a unique 1st Year Package that means you can do this and save money too. Message me to find out more.

My first newborn of 2019 is Reeva, 12 days new. She was a superstar sleep to ease me back into work. 💕

And the second little smasher was Lily-Mae who was also another returning client. The daintiest, prettiest little dot!! She covered me in buttercream but with the best cake cuddles!

I'm about to order some fresh wall art and want one of these as a BIG canvas. Do I go 1 or 2? Without doubt they are both so scrummy but I can only have one of this pose. Help me decide please......

So as I start another new year, I want to remind everyone past and future that my diary gets booked up quite a bit in advance. I simply do not have enough days in a week for all your gorgeous bundles and I have to turn people away. If you are keen to know more about booking a newborn, 6-9 months or 1st year cake smash, then please do not hesitate to message or call me. My website will also provide you with lots of more info too. www.clairegrantphotography.co.uk

I took this image of my munchkins just before Xmas and had it made into a HUGE acrylic print for our living room wall as a surprise for my hubby. Now it’s done the Xmas present rounds too I can share it. These two are not only my world but my inspiration and motivation.

I bet so many of you can relate to this. Who’s child has already ignored all their Xmas presents in favour of the remote?

HAPPY NEW YEAR! To celebrate the start of 2019, I am offering 25% off Newborn Session Fees for 2019 due dates, plus you will receive a FREE 10x8 Mounted print with any package purchased.
No further availability for January due dates. Offer ends 8th January.

I've been reflecting and tidying up for the end of year and WOW, what a busy 2018. I've had the pleasure of photographing 147 Newborn babies as well as Sitters, Cake Smashers, Maternity and Mini Session clients. To say it makes me happy is an understatement. Here are just a few.
Happy New Year and I look forward to welcoming lots more families when I return from my break.

With one more sleep to go, I wanted to take the time to wish every single one of my clients, followers, friends and supporters a very Happy Christmas and say a big Thank you. I truly have the best job in the world and I’m blessed that i get to meet so many gorgeous families that put so much trust in me. I’ve had the best 2018 and I cannot wait for 2019.

We recently met with Claire for our little boy Oliver's newborn photo shoot, Claire has been super helpful throughout the whole process. Very professional, but very welcoming and extremely patient. It's very clear to see that she takes extreme pride in her work and because of this and her patience she gets fantastic results! We were extremely excited when we received the email to let us know the photos were ready to view.... And they did not disappoint! Stunning photo's of my new gorgeous boy, along with a photo that melted my heart and bought me to tears of him and his sisters.... Just beautiful! As huge photo mad fans,myself and my husband would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to Claire for capturing these moments and giving us a memory we can look at and share for a lifetime. I'm sure Oliver will love it when his girlfriend comes to meet us and we get the naked flat cap photo out! � x

We recently had a newborn photo shoot and Claire made the whole process easy and took care of everything ensuring we were happy and comfortable throughout. She was happy to break for feeds etc and even settled Alfie herself when he wasn't happy. The finished product was better than we could have imagined and she has helped us have some lovely memories of Alfie at only 9 days old. We will happily recommend Claire to friends and will definitely use her in the future. Thanks again Claire for a fab experience!

We recently had a Cake Smash photo shoot with Claire and we could not be more happy with the photos. Claire worked tirelessly to ensure that we were happy and Beth was comfortable during the session. At some points Beth wasn't happy and Claire gave her space, and came up with fantastic ideas to keep her cheery and smiling for the remainder of the session. The session was just the right length of time as well so Beth didn't get too tired or bored. I helped Beth with the cake smash at some points so don't wear your best clothes and be prepared to get covered in cake too!



The cake was scrumptious and we opted to take the left overs (the bits that survived!) home with us and the cupcakes were beautiful and delicious too!



It was such great fun and the photos are stunning, something we can look back on for years to come. A priceless memento of our first year with our baby! We will recommend Claire to every parent wanting a cake smash. Thank you Claire!

We had a newborn photo shoot last week and we are so happy with the photos !!! It was a great experience and Claire was amazing on the day too very patient!! Have already booked a sitting up shoot later on in the year can’t wait! Thank you Claire � x

Today we had our photo shoot for our newborn baby girl 8 days new and I could not be happier about the whole experience. Claire was so patient and gentle with our precious little girl the whole way through. As brand new parents Claire made us feel so at ease and she even offered some really valued advice. I could not recommend her enough and the pictures so far are perfect.

This was just the most wonderful experience. We took our 7 day new son Theo to Claire for the newborn shoot and not only was Theo completely at ease, so were we. Claire was amazing with Theo, so caring and attentive and got some absolutely gorgeous pictures of him!! Pictures to cherish forever. Thank you Claire from all 3 of us ��� would recommend you to anyone who will listen xx

Stumbled upon Claires page whilst pregnant due to a Facebook suggestion but I am ever so happy I did. When I looked into photographers I was most concerned about whether this person could be safe with my newborn during their shoot and make me feel comfortable during my maternity shoot.....needless to say Claire is awesome at what she does! Firstly she made us feel extremely comfortable, was patient, accommodating , flexible and at the end of the sessions we felt like we had made a friend. Although we chose not to share the awesome pics on social media .....she was still respectful of that ....amazing photographer .....I know we have found the person who will most likely photograph our baby's milestones. Excited about cake smash ! Thanks Claire ....Lesporis family x #thebabywhisperer :)

Our little family has had the most wonderful time visiting Claire over the last year -we just can't get enough! Claire is welcoming and professional and captures our little girls personality and manages to get her to giggle and smile every time. The photos are always beyond our expectations making it impossible to choose just a few - we always buy them all! We're looking forward to our next session! :)

Our gorgeous Harley a week old today had his newborn photoshoot and we couldn’t be happier with the photos we have seen so far. Claire was absolutely lovely and would highly recommend her to friends or family in the future �

My son decided he didn’t want to cooperate & cried & made a fuss & I honestly thought there was no hope but Claire was fantastic with nursery rhymes, toys & bubbles there was a light at the end of the tunnel � I’m so thankful for your second chance I’m really looking forward to seeing the photos �

My sister and I had a lovely time taking Atticus to his photo shoot with Claire. She made us all feel relaxed and in turn Atticus was really happy, creating gorgeous photos. We love the pictures that we have chosen (my husband and I found it a real challenge not to have them all) and we will treasure them forever! Thank you sooo much Claire - you are great. Would recommend you to everyone.

If I could rate Claire 10 stars I would. She made us feel so at ease and relaxed, she explained how safety was a priority, she was amazing with our baby and never pushed her to do anything to get a photograph. It was such a lovely experience and the photos that we have seen are just stunning. We can't recommend enough

I cannot recommend Claire enough. If anyone is thinking of having a photo shoot done then Claire is your lady. She makes us feel so comfortable and relaxed and she manages to capture stunningly beautiful pictures that I will treasure forever. I think so much of her we've been back 3 times!

I cannot recommend Claire enough! We recently had our son Finley's newborn photographs taken by Claire and she has been fantastic throughout! She completely put me at ease during the shoot, handling our little one with care and professionalism and allowing us to enjoy the session, which was not half as stressful as I had thought it might be with a newborn! The photographs she has taken are beautiful and I can't wait to put them up in our home and show them off to people, we will definitely be back, thank you Claire �

Highly recommend Claire! She was magical with my little boy Arlen and was very professional, attentive and welcoming. The whole experience was great and we were made to feel comfortable throughout. Thanks again, look forward to seeing the rest of the photos.

Claire was beyond brilliant with our baby who has just had a cake smash session. She worked so hard to make sure we had our chosen colour scheme and her set up was delightful. She looked after our baby and worked with him when he was ready. We would definitely pick Claire again �

Claire is without a doubt one of the very best photographers out there, every image I have seen her create has been amazing. Fantastic service from start to finish. Would highly recommend to anyone! We will be back for more!

Claire Grant is a mum first and a photographer second. She gets it. She understood that our baby chose that day not to smile on demand for her 'Just Sitting' session, so she changed tact and was patient.



We found Claire to be warm, empathetic and fully committed to getting us THAT special photograph we could treasure.



Amongst the photos we've chosen to keep, there is one in particular that will always melt my heart and I feel I might burst with pride when I look at it! Claire caught our baby's personality perfectly in that moment and we are thrilled with the results. Such a photo is more likely with an experienced, professional photographer and Claire was certainly the right one for us.



Prior to booking, we had researched Claire's work, reviews, awards and safety policies and found all to be glowing. We'd recommend her without hesitation and will no doubt return to her in the future.



Thank you, Claire �

Clair was an absolute charm. She put my little boy at ease instantly. She was patient and didn’t mind the mess or the water that my little one splashed everywhere. Really happy to have chosen her to do my son’s first photo session. Highly recommended.
