Newborn & Family Photographer in Cornwall
Based in Bodmin, North Cornwall
Hello, I'm Amie.
I'm the photographer behind Lavender & Lace Photography, and for more than 16 years I've been photographing babies, children and families.
My little studio in Bodmin is a warm, cosy space where we can slow things down, have a cuppa and create beautiful photographs without the pressure of everything being absolutely perfect.
Because let's be honest...
Babies don't read the plan.
And that's completely OK.
My sessions are calm, relaxed and, especially when it comes to newborns, 100% baby led.
No rushing.
No forcing.
No worrying if your baby needs another feed or a cuddle.
Just beautiful photographs of your family, exactly as you are.
Those first few weeks are a funny old blur.
The cuddles.
The tiny fingers.
The sleepy stretches.
The milk-drunk faces.
The little noises you never want to forget.
You think you'll remember every single detail.
But they change so quickly.
That's why I love newborn photography.
Not just because of the pretty photographs, but because one day you'll look back at them and remember exactly how tiny they were in your arms.
My newborn sessions are completely baby led, with plenty of time for feeding, changing, cuddling and settling.
If your baby is happy, we photograph.
If your baby needs you, we stop.
These arms will always be their safe space.
And my job is to capture that.
If you've never had professional photographs taken before, you might be wondering what actually happens.
Do I need to know how to pose?
What if my baby cries?
What if they won't sleep?
What if they need feeding halfway through?
What do I need to bring?
The answer to most of those questions is:
Don't worry. I've got you.
With more than 16 years of experience, I'll guide you through the whole experience.
You don't need to know what to do.
You don't need to bring a studio with you.
And you certainly don't need a perfectly behaved baby.
My studio is filled with soft fabrics, beautiful props, little outfits and everything we need to create your session.
You simply bring your baby.
And yourselves.
I'll take care of the rest.
Your baby's story doesn't begin when they're born.
And it doesn't stop after the newborn stage.
I love photographing all the little chapters along the way.

A chance to slow down and celebrate you before everything changes.
Pregnancy can bring so many emotions, and it's easy to focus on what's changing rather than the incredible thing your body is doing.
Your maternity session is a chance to embrace your bump, feel beautiful and create photographs you'll be proud to look back on.
Session fee only

Those first precious days.
Tiny toes. Wrinkly hands. Sleepy cuddles. And all the little details that disappear far too quickly.
A relaxed, unhurried and completely baby-led experience in my Bodmin studio.
Session fee only

One whole year.
How did that happen?!
Whether you want simple milestone photographs, a beautiful styled setup or a full cake smash and splash, we'll create something that reflects your little one's personality.
I can help with colours, styling and themes, and I have outfits and decorations available in the studio.
Cake isn't included, simply because every little one is different when it comes to allergies and dietary requirements — but I'm always happy to recommend local bakers and help you plan.

Because you're part of the story too.
Whether we stay in the studio or head outside for a relaxed family session somewhere beautiful in Cornwall, I'll capture the connection between you.
Not just everyone smiling at the camera.
The cuddles.
The laughter.
The chaos.
The little moments in between.
The photographs you'll look back on and think:
“That's so them.”
Session fee only

Sometimes the studio isn't quite your thing.
Maybe your children are happiest running around outside. Maybe there's a beach your family loves, a favourite woodland, or simply somewhere you can all be yourselves.
My Cornwall location sessions are relaxed, natural and completely unforced.
No standing in a line saying cheese.
We'll walk, play, cuddle, explore and let the children be themselves while I capture everything happening along the way.
From sandy toes and windswept hair to those little moments
