Our newborn photography studio is located on the Luton & Dunstable border in Bedfordshire — calm, private and easy to find, with free parking on site. Full directions are provided when you book your newborn portrait session with us.

Absolutely — please do not wait. Give us a call and we will book a flexible floating date for your newborn photography session at our studio on the Luton & Dunstable border. Babies arrive when they are ready and we completely understand that — a floating date simply means we adjust our diary around your baby's arrival so your safe, certified newborn portrait session is ready and waiting the moment you need it.

First, congratulations — how wonderful. For the best newborn photography results, sessions are ideally held within the first 5 to 14 days when your baby is still beautifully curled up and sleepy. If that is your baby right now, please call us today on 01582 491499 and we will get your safe, certified newborn portrait session booked in as quickly as possible at our studio on the Luton & Dunstable border.

 If your little one is already past 14 days, please still call us — we can absolutely still create beautiful timeless newborn portraits for you, though some poses may need to be adapted and we will talk you through this when you get in touch.

Yes, absolutely — and we love it when the whole family joins in. Your newborn photography session at our studio on the Luton & Dunstable border is a wonderful opportunity to create your very first family portrait together. Little brothers and sisters are always welcome, though younger children can sometimes find the experience a little overwhelming, so a conversation with us beforehand is always a good idea. With 35 years of newborn photography experience, we have plenty of ways to help everyone feel comfortable and included.

Our  newborn web page shows the range of outfits and materials we use at our newborn photography studio on the Luton & Dunstable border — but if you have a special outfit, heirloom blanket or treasured toy you would like included in your newborn portraits, please bring it along. We work with a range of colour schemes and will always discuss this with you before your session. We also provide a full preparation guide so you know exactly what to expect. If you have any questions before your newborn portrait session, please do not hesitate to call us on 01582 491499.

At our certified newborn photography studio on the Luton & Dunstable border, we are completely guided by your baby. We never rush a newborn portrait session — we wait until your little one is beautifully settled before we begin, because the most timeless first portraits come when baby is calm and content. Sessions typically take a couple of hours, so please allow plenty of time and bring everything you need — water, snacks, nappies and all the usual baby supplies. If you have older children who need collecting from school, please factor this in when we discuss your appointment.

Our newborn photography studio on the Luton & Dunstable border is open Monday to Saturday, 9 am to 6 pm, by appointment only. Due to the nature of newborn portrait sessions, we can sometimes be flexible with timing — please call us on 01582 491499 to discuss what works best for you and your baby.

Yes. David and Sue Doyle are proud holders of  Newborn Safety Certification.

Your baby's safety and wellbeing is always our absolute priority.

Newborn sessions are relaxed and unhurried — we work entirely at your baby's pace. Please allow two to three hours, as babies need feeding, settling and plenty of rest between setups. There is no rush.

Just yourselves and baby's usual feeding and changing essentials. We provide all props, wraps and accessories. We will send you a full preparation guide when you book, covering everything you need to know.

We are based at 39 Emerald Road on the Luton and Dunstable border. Free on-site parking is available. All sessions are by appointment — call us on 01582 491499 or email info@oakleystudios.co.uk to book.

Our newborn portrait session is £299, which includes five beautifully hand-finished digital images. 

This reflects the hours of skilled editing and care that go into every timeless first portrait we create. We have optional upgrades for collections. 

Please give us a call on 01582 491499 and we will help you find the right collection for your new family.
