About Cara
Newborn and Family photographer for 12 years.
Hi, I’m Cara Mia, a newborn photographer who believes the most meaningful images come from calm moments, gentle connection, and a relaxed environment for your baby and family. You are going through such an amazing time right now. Take a moment to take it all in!
You can hold these moments forever.
“That’s what I love so much about photography. It freezes moments in time so that they are yours, for always.”
My approach to newborn photography.
Every baby is different, and my sessions are designed to follow your baby’s rhythm. My approach focuses on three things:
1. Safety always comes first
Your baby’s comfort and safety guide every pose and every moment of the session. If there’s anything they don’t like or I feel they are uncomfortable with. We try again later or don’t do it. There is no pressure.
2. A calm, relaxed experience
Sessions are slow and unhurried. We pause for feeding, cuddles, and soothing whenever needed. Sessions are booked with up to 3.5 hours available, but they regularly take only 2- 2.5 hours.
3. Timeless, natural images
I focus on soft tones, natural posing, and authentic connection so your images will feel just as beautiful decades from now. The result is a gallery filled with gentle, emotional photographs that reflect the love in your family.
The newborn photography studio
Welcome to my studio—a cozy, welcoming space designed with you and your little one in mind. Nestled in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon, it’s a place where the warmth of home meets the creativity of my work.
When you step inside, you’ll find a comfy sofa perfect for settling in during your session. I want you to feel completely at ease while we capture these precious moments, whether you're chatting with me or enjoying a quiet moment while I work with your baby. The studio is warmly heated and thoughtfully arranged to be a safe, inviting haven for families, where every detail is considered to make you feel relaxed and cared for.
When I’m not photographing or editing photos of tiny humans you’ll usually find me Spending time outdoors, often gardening or walking. We take trips the The Lake District every year.
My personal life
Currently hobbies include attempts to bake bread, reading and occasionally ice skating.
You will probably also see me spending time with my Two favourite people in the world, getting up to mischief with my awesome sweet angel can do no wrong Nephew, Lenny, and of course my darling husband David (you will see him on the socials). Other that that I will be cuddling up on the sofa with my cats.
