Gillard Studios - Portrait Photography Studio

Expecting a baby? 👋

If you’re planning professional photographs for your baby’s first year, you’ll want to know about Chapter One.

We’ve brought together three of the biggest milestones, newborn, sitter and first birthday, into one first-year experience with us.

You’ll have the expertise of an established professional photography studio, the experience that comes from photographing thousands of babies and families, and a team who genuinely knows what they’re doing.

But because we’re family-run, it’s still personal.

You’ll deal with Sally and Jordan, you’ll know who’s looking after your baby, and we’ll guide you through every stage, from planning your newborn session right through to choosing your favourite photographs and products.

And ultimately, you get to decide what’s right for your family.

Chapter One is £59 to join and secures:

🤍 Your newborn session
🤍 Your sitter session
🤍 Your first birthday cake smash

Plus £100 studio credit towards each session, so that’s £300 of studio credit across your baby’s first year.

You’ll also receive an end-of-year gift featuring an image from each session, early access to seasonal events and a few other extras along the way.

There’s no subscription or monthly payment. It’s a one-off £59 to secure your place.

We’ve opened Chapter One to babies due up to March 2027, with just 10 places available per due month.

The most beautiful order has been collected this morning. ❤️

We’re definitely going to start sharing more finished collections to show you that your experience with us doesn’t end with the shoot.

We love that the majority of our clients walk away with stunning products that will last a lifetime.

In this order both the album and wall portrait included baby’s full name and date of birth too. 💖

If there's something we do REALLY well it's client retention.
Just 14 months ago this beautiful family were in the studio for a newborn session and over the Summer they were back again.

They were also discussing baby 3 in the viewing room too.
See you next year guys?!😉 - not before you collect your wall art and album from this session first though!

Freddie ❤

Freddie is another in our Rainbow Baby Project.
One thing we wanted to do when we started this project was to approach the topic sensitively. Some people want to speak openly and in detail about their experience, while others like to keep their experience more personal to them.
Everyone is different, and that is something to be respected. It's important to normalise and support people in their own individual journeys.

Oh and mum came in really not wanting to be photographed. We twisted her arm - how incredible does she look?!

Three client comments in 24 hours 🥹

We’ve had THREE separate clients go out of their way to tell us how much they loved their experience with us over the last 24 hours.

And honestly… these are the messages that mean the most.

Because yes, we love the photographs we create.

But knowing that people felt comfortable, looked after, listened to and genuinely enjoyed being here with us? That’s the bit we care about most.

We’re a small family-run studio, and every client really does matter to us.

So thank you to everyone who takes the time to leave a review, send us a message or tell us how your experience was. We never take it for granted 🤍

Three in 24 hours though… you lot are making us blush 😂

We're currently working our way through our Rainbow Baby series, and it's been such a privilege to meet incredible families and hear their stories.

We're incorporating a hint of rainbow into every single session, some with a full rainbow and others with a subtle nod in colours.

Thank you so much for trusting us with your journey.
We can't wait to see the finished results in print.

We definitely need to do an updated version of this!

We would just like to make it perfectly clear that if you really get on with us when you come to your newborn session, you don't need to have a baby and book a newborn session just to keep coming in to see us. We'll happily welcome you in for a chat anytime we're free. 😅

All jokes aside, how much of an insane compliment is it to be trusted to photograph not one, not two, not three, not even four, but FIVE newborns in one family?!

It's been such an honour to document their journey as a growing family - and now we look forward to watching them all as they get older too.

You might not have met your baby just yet - but imagine it's 10+ years from now and you are able to look back at your baby as a newborn. You have all the tiny details captured and documented.

Now imagine you don't have anything like this to look back on at all.

Which would you prefer?
