When most people think of an Aberdeen newborn photographer, they picture indoor setups, but one of my favourite sessions is this newborn woodland photoshoot. Gentle walks through local woodlands like Maryculter woodlands offer a peaceful, beautiful setting to capture those fleeting early days. There are few things sweeter than soft blankets, cuddles, and natural backdrops. My newborn woodland photoshoots create relaxed natural images that feel full of life.

As an Aberdeen newborn photographer, I love how the woodlands create space for wonder and exploration outdoors, and a space where the parents can take a deep breath because kids tend to be happy when they are outside.

My classic package gives you a choice: we can shoot in a nearby woodland like Maryculter – or lots of other beautiful forests in Aberdeenshire, head to the hills, wander a riverside trail, or even stay cosy at home. It’s all about finding the place that feels most like you. And I mean it when I say, I’m very happy to help you choose a location, I love to explore and be outside!

If you’re planning a woodland photoshoot, a few tips:

• Bring a blanket – great for keeping warm, having snacks or cuddling up.
• Layer up – the woods can be cooler under the trees, even in summer.
• Expect to explore – kids especially love picking up sticks, pinecones, and running free.

Baby photography in Aberdeenshire doesn’t have to be formal. It can be a morning spent wandering the woods, playing together, and creating memories you’ll really cherish.
