Linda Clarke Photography is an award-winning newborn photographer in Newcastle, Dublin, specialising in calm, baby-led newborn photography for families across Dublin, Kildare and Wicklow.
There’s something about those first few weeks…
the tiny stretches, the sleepy sighs, the way they curl into you.It’s a time filled with love — but also a little overwhelming.
And before you know it, it begins to change.This is your chance to slow everything down for a moment…
and hold onto these early days, just as they are.
I’m currently booking due dates through to July & August 26, with limited spaces remaining.
With over 15 years of experience, I’ve become known to many of my families as The Baby Whisperer.
My sessions are completely baby-led, meaning your little one sets the pace from start to finish.
There’s no pressure for them to sleep, no rushed posing, and no expectations — just a calm, gentle environment where your baby is safe, comfortable, and beautifully captured.
Every part of your session has been designed to feel relaxed and effortless.
You don’t need to prepare anything perfectly — everything flows around your baby.
One day, these tiny details will change — the way they curl into you, the softness of their skin, the way they fit perfectly in your arms.
These images are how you remember it.
You might be wondering…
“What if my baby doesn’t settle?”
“What if I don’t know what to do?”
Please don’t worry.
You’ll be gently guided every step of the way, and your baby is never rushed or forced into anything.
These sessions are designed to feel calm — for both of you.
Newborn sessions begin from €325, with most families choosing
a more complete collection once they see their gallery.
I take on a limited number of newborn sessions each month to allow flexibility around your baby’s arrival.
Because of this, most families book during pregnancy to secure a space.
My studio is located in Newcastle, Co. Dublin, with easy access from the M50 and N7, and plenty of free parking.
I regularly welcome families from across Dublin, Kildare, Wicklow and surrounding areas.
I recommend booking your newborn session while you’re still pregnant, ideally after your 20-week scan. This allows me to reserve a flexible space around your due date and ensures availability.
Newborn sessions are usually photographed between 10–21 days old, when babies tend to be sleepier and more naturally curled.
However, every baby is different, and beautiful images can be created at any stage.
Yes, absolutely. I don’t have a strict age limit.
If your baby is a little older, sessions tend to be more awake and expressive, with lovely eye contact and personality. My baby-led approach means I adapt each session to suit your baby.
You just need to bring your baby and the essentials you’d normally have in your changing bag — nappies, wipes, a spare outfit, and milk if bottle feeding.
Everything else is provided in the studio, including wraps, blankets and styling.
Sessions usually last between 60–90 minutes, depending on your baby.
There is always time for feeding, cuddles and settling, ensuring a calm and relaxed experience throughout.
Yes, of course. Your family is a big part of your baby’s story, and I always encourage parents and siblings to be included. Fur babies too if you'd like :)
Families often describe my newborn sessions as calm, gentle and completely baby-led, creating a relaxed experience and timeless memories during those precious early days.
If you’re ready to capture your baby exactly as they are in these early days, I’d love to welcome you into my studio.
I’m honoured to have been recognised multiple times as a finalist in the IPPVA Newborn, Portrait and Maternity Photographer of the Year Awards — recognition from fellow professionals within the photography industry for my calm, timeless and baby-led work.
Families from Dublin, Kildare and surrounding areas choose Linda Clarke Photography for calm, baby-led newborn sessions with over 15 years of experience.
