Hi, I'm Sara-Jane, a newborn, baby, child, family & maternity photographer from Herne Hill in South London. I'm passionate about documenting your family's journey through gorgeous, natural photos full of personality, in your own home or favourite outdoor location around London. I have created memories for over 700 families and I can't wait to capture yours!
Hi, I'm Sara-Jane, a professional photographer from Herne Hiil (near Dulwich) in South London, specialising in newborn, baby, child, family and pregnancy photography. My journey began in 2011 when my sister had my nephew Bobby and I started taking pictures of him. Photography had always been a hobby of mine, but I had never thought about doing it professionally until I got such an amazing reaction to my photos from my family. So ShutterBaby Photography was born, and I have never looked back. It's a much more rewarding job than being an accountant!
Why you should choose SARA-JANE as your London newborn, baby, child & FAMILY photographer. In today's digital age, anyone can pick up a smartphone or camera and take a decent photo, leading many people to wonder why they need to hire a professional baby & child photographer. 1. Experience - a baby & child photographer will have experience of posing newborns, getting babies to smile and dealing with hyperactive toddlers! I love children and have nine years of experience of photographing them and have photographed hundreds of newborns.
I am a South London newborn photographer and I have been photographing newborn babies in London homes for the last 9 years. The arrival of a new family member is so special. Your precious newborn baby will grow so quickly and so having beautiful images to remember this fleeting phase in their life is priceless.

Sara-Jane ensured we had a great experience and was very accomodating with our 6 month old's first photo shoot. Despite his grumpiness and tears at times she still managed to get some lovely photos that we will forever cherish. Thank you Sara-Jane!

Sara-Jane has been both great and easy to work with. We love our photos - both bump and baby. She clearly knows what's she's doing with both babies and parents as would rearrange our hands (no claw hands!), clothes and hair or advise on positions to stand in to get the best photos. I would have had no idea otherwise.

Sara-Jane delivered lovely quality images, and managed to take a wide variety of pictures with us quickly. Her approach is informal and friendly, which made us quickly feel at ease in front of the camera, and she directed us nicely to get the photos we were after. She also made sure she knew what we wanted beforehand to get the most out of it, plus threw in some extra fun ideas.

Recommended! Super easy and friendly from the first contact until the end. Made us feel comfortable and valued. And great images as an end product. Nothing more I could have asked for!

Sara came to our house two days after we contacted her for a last minute newborn photoshoot! She was calm and relaxed at a time when I was feeling very overwhelmed. She was brilliant with our newborn baby - caring and gentle - and got some brilliant photos. She even managed to get our dog involved!

I booked Sara-Jane of shutterbaby photography after finding her details online. I went by the reviews and I saw her beautiful photos, I definitely made the right choice. She was professional and so good with my daughters, she took some amazing pictures which isn't easy to do with a newborn and a 3yr old. She involved my toddler and made her feel so comfortable, got my Toddler to smile for some cute pics.

I loved how swiftly the pics were ready, we got to view them the day after the photo shoot so we could select the ones we liked. I would without a doubt use shutterbaby photography again for more photo shoots in the future and I'm also planning on booking Sara-Jane for my sister's family photoshoot.

Sara Jane is brilliant in taking new born photos. She captured various angles of my son and even managed to capture a cheeky smile of my son in our family photo. She is also very patient as I have to feed and settle my son during the session. Overall I m very happy with her service.

I would highly recommend Sara-Jane for your baby photos. She made us feel completely at ease and had my one year old daughter smiling and posing in no time. She's clearly very experienced and knew all the tricks to get the best shots. The photos turned out beautifully and all our friends and family love them too. I will definitely use Sara-Jane again in the future.

We had a great experience with Shutterbaby. As new parents, in the middle of a pandemic, we were so happy to find out we could still capture pictures of our daughter when she was just a few weeks old. Sara Jane was professional and patient as we coaxed our little one to sleep. The results were beautiful and are something we will treasure forever.

I highly recommend Sara-Jane for your newborns photography shoot! She is very professional, friendly, creative and simply amazing! I really didn't want to miss out on capturing my newborns early days especially with the current Pandemic and was very pleased to know that Sara-Jane could come to our home and capture some unique images. This was a bonus for a mum of 2 like me who didn't want the hassle of travelling to a studio!

She followed strict safety guidelines by wearing a face mask, regularly hand sanitising and cleaning all props between clients. She transformed my home into a studio like setting and took the most beautiful pictures of my newborn and toddler. She is amazing with children as she managed to get my toddler to sit and actually smile for some pictures as well as capture some breath taking images of my newborn both awake and asleep! The quality of the printed images and wall art I ordered blew me away! Thank you Sara-Jane for exceeding my expectations!

Sara-Jane came to our home for a newborn photography session and we couldn’t recommend her more! She’s professional, friendly & great with babies. As new parents we were worried about the Covid risk however Sara-Jane is well prepared; wore a mask, sanitises regularly and washes all props between clients. Thank you for being so calm & relaxed when Joshua needed feeding & wouldn’t sleep. Can’t wait to get the final photos to show off to family & friends.

Sara-Jane was helpful and professional throughout my experience with Shutterbaby. She had the challenge of trying to capture 3 children in an outdoor setting and managed it beautifully. She provided suggestions and tips about what to bring and what to wear and answered all my questions quickly. A very happy experience, would thoroughly recommend

Sara-Jane has an amazing way of working with babies and children to get gorgeous photos! We did three shoots with our daughter (newborn, six months and one year) and loved the photos so much we are doing the same again now our baby son has arrived. She’s also really responsive, helpful and the final images are ready really quickly.
Elizabeth Griffiths
We had a great experience with Sara-Jane - doing the shoot in our own home made such a difference, especially with our baby being only 7 days old. We had a lovely, relaxed afternoon and have ended up with some absolutely beautiful photographs of our little boy as well as some great shots of the three of us together. I would definitely recommend Sara-Jane to any families looking for a newborn photographer.
Lilly O'keeffe
Sara-Jane is truly amazing. She came to our flat to photograph our 5 day old little boy. She spent around 3 hours capturing pictures and we were at ease to leave baby with her in the bedroom while we relaxed. The photos are truly beautiful and she was so professional and patient. We was really worried about space as our flat is on the small side but she worked around us and the space and you wouldn't know they were done in a small bedroom when looking at the photos. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to friends and use her again in our baby boys milestones. Thank you for capturing such beautiful moments for us to treasure!
Zoe Stembridge
My mum bought us a session with Sara-Jane for Christmas. She was really flexible in terms of agreeing a date for our shoot and was happy to come to our local park. She was great at suggesting outfit ideas for us all. She was fantastic with our little girl and at putting us all at ease. Despite our toddler being in a challenging mood, she was patient and happy to stay to get the shots we wanted. She delivered the proofs really quickly and edited and sent the images promptly too. I would recommend her to my friends.

This is our second time around using Sara Jane for baby number 2 with her brilliant 'watch me grow' package. We highly recommend her. She has the patience of a saint and has taken so many incredible photos of our family, so much so that we found it hard to whittle them down! She is a fantastic photographer and works with you to get the shots you want.
Stella Z.
Sara-Jane is amazing. Not only did we have a warm and kind atmosphere during the shooting where Sara was patient and professional with the little ones (newborn and toddler), also the pictures she took were fabulous - we really couldn’t decide for pictures not to take as they were all brilliant! We can highly recommend her and I am sure we will see her again, either for birthday parties or our next baby.
