AWARD WINNING NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER ESSEX & HERTFORDSHIRE
“You know what the great thing about babies is? They are like little bundles of hope. Like the future in a basket.”
Welcome to Rachel Sloan Photography!
Thank you for visiting my page! I am an award winning, professional newborn photographer in Essex offering pregnancy, newborn and family photography. I believe in creating beautiful images as pieces of art, which you can be proud to show off in your home. Newborn Photography is my passion and with it comes years of training, experience and patience. Photographing tiny babies takes considerable skill and expertise, which I have worked hard to perfect. I am a Hertfordshire and Essex photographer, based just outside of Bishops Stortford.
I offer a relaxing and enjoyable experience in my home studio in Hatfield Heath, with a wide variety of luxury newborn props, backgrounds and set ups, meaning I can fully customise a session to your tastes or create you an entirely bespoke set up, which is unique to you.
I look forward to meeting you! Rachel xx

NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER ESSEX
If you are looking for a Newborn Baby Photographer, Maternity Photographer or in fact any kind of Family Photographer in the Bishops Stortford area then you have come to the right place! I am a newborn baby specialist and if I could, I would photograph these tiny miracles every single day! However, your journey starts before the baby arrives and capturing your pregnancy and the incredible journey your body goes on is equally as important.
I love to photograph people at any stage in their lives, therefore I offer a variety of services as a photographer, including training other photographers and speaking at photography events, educating and inspiring other photographers.
So if you have a baby on the way or a brood of gorgeous children who you’d love to capture, please have a little look around my site and portfolio or message me directly to talk more about how I can help.

Pregnancy Portraits
Your body goes through the most amazing changes when you are pregnant and it’s such a special time in your life. Captururing it in a way, which really shows off how beautiful you looked and how you felt at that time is so amazing and something you’ll always remember. Whether you would like a studio session or an outdoor lifestyle session, I will tailor a shoot to suit you.

Newborn Photography
My newborn sessions aren’t just about getting incredible images and pieces of art for the walls, they are also an amazing experience, which can only be achieved in such a small window of time before they start changing and uncurling. Whether you are pregnant and would like to put in a provisional date or baby is already here, learn more about what I offer for newborn baby photography here…

Older children and Familes
From older babies to 1st Birthdays, teenagers or family portraits, I am here to help you capture this time in your lives with stunning portraits that will literally feeze time and allow you to enjoy for years to come. Don’t put off your family photography; time goes by so fast and if you blink you’ll miss it! Learn more about Sitters, cake smashes and Family photography here…
