We will take the time to photograph your baby in different poses and with different props, such as heirloom outfits or special blankets or toys that you would like included.

We will also take images of the proud parents with your baby, creating your very first family portrait. Siblings are more than welcome, so please let us know who will be joining you.

We understand how precious your little one is, which is why we approach every newborn photoshoot with love, care, and respect. We feel humbled when parents trust us with their newborns, and we will do everything we can to create beautiful, irreplaceable pictures that you can cherish for a lifetime.

Let’s capture that oh-so-new look of those first few days, those tiny fingers and toes, the way their little arms and legs are curled up and still tucked away,  just perfect and beautiful.


We’ll make the time to also take some images with the proud parents -  your very first family portrait!  Siblings are welcome too, just let’s know who is coming along.  If you have a special heirloom outfit, blanket or teddy and would like this to be included then please bring this along.

 

We just love newborn shoots and are always humbled when parents come to us with their precious little ones.

NEWBORN HEALTH & SAFETY CERTIFIED PHOTOGRAPHERS
We operate our business with the welfare of your baby as our primary concern

Our 30 years experience will give you the confidence to know that you have made the right choice

IN SAFE HANDS 

David and Sue Doyle are proud members of the Master Photographer's Association (MPA) and have been awarded the exclusive health and safety "Newborn Certification". This prestigious accreditation is only awarded to photographers who adhere to an extra layer of safety measures specifically designed for photographing newborns.

As the only photographers in Luton and Dunstable to hold this certification, you can trust that David and Sue have taken every precaution to ensure the safety and well-being of your precious little one during their newborn photography session.

Newborn baby photography is incredibly popular, but it can also be risky if proper procedures and safety measures are not in place.

The MPA introduced the Newborn Certification scheme to protect the public from rogue photographers who operate without insurance or health and safety measures.

The Certification process includes a thorough analysis of health and safety information, covering areas such as maintaining a suitable temperature for the newborn, sanitising props and equipment, and identifying signs of distress in the baby.

As the premier qualifying body for professional photographers in the UK, the MPA aims to provide a level of reassurance to parents who are looking for a professional photographer to capture images of their new baby.

By choosing a photographer with the "Newborn Certified" logo, and checking with the MPA, parents can rest assured that their photographer has demonstrated a commitment to the welfare of the baby.

David and Sue's achievement of the Newborn Certification is a testament to their dedication to providing a safe and comfortable environment for your newborn's photography session.

By operating their business with the welfare of the baby as their primary concern, David and Sue have earned the trust and confidence of their clients, and you can be sure that your baby is in good hands.

THE DEVIL IS
In The Details
...

WHO WE ARE

Let’s introduce ourselves, we are David and Sue Doyle, owners of Oakley Studios Luton established in 1990.  We specialise in family photoshoots.   We are super proud of our reputation of providing a first class family portrait photography service.


We offer all styles of lifestyle photoshoots from maternity  to those extra special multi generation photos.


Our aim is  to always provide a truly professional service to our clients.  It's so special and humbling for us that many clients return year on year with their growing family, the best recommendation we could ever hope to receive.  We know  their family photos become treasured and historical heirlooms.

WE LOVE OUR WORK !

Over the last 30 years, we have taken a lot of photos!


It has been amazing for us to have been included in our clients lives -  shooting their weddings, their growing families, their children growing up.   Some of our very first tiny babies  are now coming back to us with their babies - mindblowing - just like to say we started out when we were very very young!!!!


Along with all the family and occasion photoshoots we offer magical fairy theme shoots and fun filled Christmas shoots.


We have a fabulous garden studio based at our home. Being out of town gives us a tranquil studio environment which  puts everyone at ease ready for relaxing family photoshoot. Easy to locate with free parking to boot.  What's not to like?

INDOOR & OUTDOOR STUDIOS

We have a modern purpose built garden studio allowing us the freedom  to offer different backgrounds to suit both casual and formal photoshoots.


Outdoors ?   We love using our special “outdoor studio”, and have developed several places in our garden for this.  Children in particular love the freedom outdoors love  being able to let off steam.  Our new children's hedgehog seats are a definite hit.

 

Summer is the best time for outdoors shoot so if baby arrives in the summer - and the British weather is on our side - then maybe just maybe !!!

IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU

It’s good to get to know you before the shoot.  The shoots are designed around you and your family .


Let's know if any siblings are going to be involved and if parents are to join in,  We know mums don't always feel their best just after baby arrives and life for you all has just done the most amazing somersault, so we are careful in our posing.  Use our experience and advice if this is something you want to do when you come for your newborn baby portraits.

WE CAN HELP

A celebration newborn  portrait shoot with us, means we help.


We have  handy style guides and bucketloads of experience and can advise on how the sitting is going to work.


So please ask as many questions as you can think of, use our knowledge and experience, it's just part of what we do.


Working together beforehand will make the celebration extra special

ENJOY THE OCCASION

It won’t hurt honest!


Come along, sit back, relax and enjoy.   It really is a lovel experience for you to enjoy.

THE BEST TIME

Come back a few days later to see the images in our comfortable viewing lounge where you can choose your portraits in a wonderfully relaxed environment.



FILL THAT EMPTY SPACE

Looking for wall art?  Keep that “empty space”  or that empty shelf in mind when you come back to see your images.


With today’s tech you could even send us a photo of your empty wall and you can see your chosen wall art in your own home right there and then!

FAQ'S

  • Where are you based?

    We are based on the Luton & Dunstable borders. We have a lovely out of town garden studio. Comfortable and relaxing,  We are easy to find and offer free parking. 

  • Baby isn't due just yet - can I still book you ?

    That's absolutely fine.  If you still have some weeks to go, then give us a call and we can book a flexible  'floating date'.  Babies arrive when they are ready, we totally understand but by booking a floating date, we then adjust our diary around this .

  • My baby's just arrived - can I still book ?

    First, congratulations.  Newborn shoots usually take place between 0-12 days when baby is still curled up and sleepy, so if that's your baby then give us a call today.  If your little one is over 12 days, then please still call, we can  book you in but some poses may change and we need to go through this with you first.

  • Can parents and siblings join in?

    Yes of course.  It's a lovely chance for your first family portrait.  Little brothers and sisters can sometimes get overwhelmed by the session, so a bit of forward planning is  a good idea if they are to be included.  Please speak to us about this, we have lots of ways to help and lots of experience.  

  • What should my baby wear?

    We do have a range of outfits and materials for baby but if you have a special outfit and want your baby to be photographed wearing this then please bring this along.  We have a range of colour schemes and we can discuss this nearer the time of your shoot.  We will provide a guide which should deal with your queries, but if there is anything else you want to know about, please call us.

  • How long does the session last?

    We are guided by baby on this one.  We don't rush the stars of the show.  We wait until they are nice and settled before starting.  It's a good idea to bring water with you and maybe a snack and all the baby supplies.  It could last a couple of hours so please make sure you allow for this, especially if you have other children who may need looking after or collecting from school.

  • What are your business hours?

    Oakley Studios hours Wednesday  to Saturday 9.00 am - 5.00 p.m..  However, due to the nature of our work we are flexible so its always best to call us for a chat about this.  All of our portrait session are by appointment only

  • I'm looking for a baby shower gift.

    Perfect - we offer gift vouchers which include  the session plus an image or bespoke.  Please give us a call to see how we can help.  Gift vouchers make fabulous maternity leave presents from colleagues.
