What Our Newborn Clients Say

Such an amazing experience having my newborn at the studio creating fantastic memories but also getting them captured. Josh was so welcoming and made us feel at ease the whole day was beautiful and then getting to come back to view our photos was the most amazing touch! The quality was outstanding and I would highly recommend!

Josh was fantastic with us , he helped us get the images for our son’s 1st birthday but also got family images and individuals of our other children all in one photo shoot. They were so patient with us all and made us all feel at ease even when the baby made a mess with his cake smash. The gallery was just amazing , seeing all the images on a big screen from a comfy sofa rather than a small screen was a fantastic touch. The communication with the team was second to none , they kept us informed all the way and let us know as soon as our pics were ready to collect.

I can’t recommend David Lawson photography Studios enough… we booked a newborn photoshoot for our son and was met with a highly experienced, professional and calming environment from Joshua. Great communication and beautiful photos would highly recommend to anyone and will be back again in the future. The photos turned out amazing and forever grateful that Joshua was able to capture these special newborn moments of our son
