Handmade with Love : Why I Knit Many of My Newborn Hats & Wraps
The little details that make your newborn session truly special
When you book a newborn session with me, you’re not just getting beautiful images, you’re getting something thoughtfully created from start to finish.
One of the things many of my clients don’t realise is that many of the hats and wraps you see in my photos are handmade by me.
A personal touch you won’t find everywhere
I spend time creating pieces that photograph beautifully and feel incredibly soft against your baby’s skin. Every stitch is done with intention, choosing colours, textures, and styles that match my calm, timeless photography style.
Unlike mass-produced props, these pieces are designed specifically for my sessions, helping create that soft, cohesive look my clients love.

Designed specifically for newborn photography
Newborn photography isn’t just about looking cute, it’s about comfort, safety, and simplicity.
The wraps and bonnets I knit are:
Soft and gentle on delicate newborn skin
Designed to photograph beautifully without distraction
Made to fit tiny newborns perfectly
Created in neutral, timeless tones that won’t date your images
Because I make many of these myself, I can ensure they work perfectly with my posing style and lighting.

Why this matters for your photos
Those soft textures and perfect fits make a huge difference in your final images. They help create:
Clean, polished results
A consistent editing style
A timeless look you’ll still love years from now
More than just a photo session
From the moment you walk into my studio (or I arrive at your home), everything is prepared for you.
Wraps, outfits, styling, posing, it’s all taken care of.
And knowing that some of those pieces were handmade just for sessions like yours adds an extra layer of meaning.
