 I’m proud to have received my Licentiate qualification with the Master Photographer’s Association.  This means that I am a Qualified Master Photographer

Safety in Newborn Photography is paramount.  I am certified by the Master Photographer’s Assocation for Newborn health and safety .

Nobody should miss the chance to tell their family story...

Here's a chapter from my story...

Clearing out my Mum’s house after she moved to a care home (with Dementia) I found photographs of us together.  They stopped me in my tracks.  They made me cry.  They help me to remember the way she was, forever.   My favourite is now framed and in the studio so I can look at her every day.


So what have I learned from this?  Memories make me smile! I don’t want you to have to feel like this, nobody should regret not having these memories to make them smile. 


I’m a qualified member of the Master Photographer’s Association which means I can give you the best results from your photoshoot.  I receive regular training and my images are critiqued which keeps me on my toes!


Being in business for 15 years means that I have cuddled countless babies, chased cheeky toddlers and had fun with numerous families.  Here’s to the next 15!

Just some of the stories we've told...

Sally provided a beautiful keepsake of our 6 day old that we will look back on in fondness in years to come

I was really excited about what was going to happen and see what the boys and the dog made of the Box.  They had a great time!

I now have some beautiful pictures of my little Yorkshire terrier that I will treasure forever! I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Let's get started

It's time to tell your story

We start with a chat about your family.  Perhaps you're expecting your baby any day or maybe your baby is a few months old and it's time to capture some memories.  Whatever your story, that initial chat is the first step to creating your unique story that you can enjoy forever.  Planning your Toy Box Photoshoot is just as exciting as the shoot itself.  We talk about you and your baby, their nursery decor, your favourite colours and special family toys or blankets. 



Then you can look forward to your personalised Toy Box Photoshoot knowing that you can relax and enjoy every second.  Your baby can be asleep or awake during the session, stopping for feeds and other calls of nature along the way!  Capturing them with their eyes open makes for stunning photographs and photographs that you will want to look at over and over again. 


After your shoot you're invited back to your Print Reveal, the moment when you see your photo shoot in beautiful prints.  Enjoy the slideshow of your images, it will make you smile as you remember the session and you might even shed a little tear too. See your images in print and choose your favourites to take home with you.

What to expect from your photo shoot...

It's time to tell your story

Every photoshoot is different, every family has their own story to tell which makes their collection of photographs so unique.


My studio is a gorgeous log cabin in my garden in Braintree, Essex.  It is a custom design, built in May 2018, complete with underfloor heating and air-conditioning which means that it's perfect for photoshoots all year round..  The fact that it's in my garden means that I can offer outdoor shoots in the Summer too, and it's perfectly safe for any little siblings who fancy a run around on the grass!  It's not unusual for the cats to be wandering around although, much to their disgust, they're not allowed in the studio unless they book a photo session!


When the weather is warmer I am able to offer photo sessions in the garden under a gazebo.  This gives a very natural look to the photography and being outside enjoying a warm breeze is incredibly relaxing!  Whether we're in the studio or the garden (or both!) you can switch off from the outside world and enjoy a relaxing shoot together. There's no rush, no clock watching...just you and your family making special memories.

JUST FOR YOU

Bring along any special items such as toys or blankets to the shoot.  It's lovely to include them in your photographs.

FAMILY TOGETHER

A relaxed photoshoot with your amazing new baby will be something you treasure and enjoy for years to come.

SIMPLE AND NATURAL

Your baby can be asleep or awake, it doesn't matter as the photoshoot is completely natural.  Who doesn't love those beautiful big eyes?


Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question? I'm here to help.

  • What is a Toy Box Photoshoot?

    The Toy Box is an amazing new photoshoot giving you something different and beautiful for you to keep forever.  The Toy Box is personalised with  your favourite colours/decorations.  The box is a gorgeous wooden box which you get to take home with you.  Somewhere to put all those toys!

  • Baby Photoshoot Ideas

    The Toy Box is new to Sally Parkinson Photography and it's an amazing way to offer you personalised photographs and a beautiful Toy Box to take home.  Completely natural photographs of you and your new baby. 

  • What if my baby cries?

    I’m asked this all the time.  If your baby cries a little it probably means that they need something! You can feed and change as much as you need to , there's no time pressure so we can take as long as we like.  

  • How do we choose the photos for our wall?

    I love looking through your photos and choosing the ones that will look great in your final collection.   Seeing your story come together is magical and giving you a family legacy to enjoy for years to come is wonderful.   When you come to see your photographs we go through them together and I help you make your choices. 

  • Photoshoot Outfit Ideas

    What you choose to wear can make a huge difference to your photographs which is why we have a pre shoot consultation to chat about your session and what you and your baby will wear.  I strongly suggest bringing your outfits with you rather than wearing them.  You know what babies can do to our best clothes!  

  • How long does a session last?

    I always suggest allowing around two hours.  I never book anyone in on the same day as  you so that there’s absolutely no pressure and no rush.  

  • Can the whole family join in?

    Absolutely!  No one will want to be left out, this is for everyone…including the family dog!

  • What kind of things can we bring?

    It’s lovely to include some special items in your photoshoot such as a personalised blanket or favourite toy.
