Your Kent Newborn photographer

Hey! 😃

I'm Matt, I’m a dad of a crazy little 4 yr old and new baby girl and i love photographing fun awesome families like yours!

The best photos i have taken of my own family have been those little moments that don’t necessarily seem significant at the time. As newborns they are literally changing week after week. I specialise in coming to a location that holds emotion for you, to make it easy for you. I shot unposed with a single goal to capture the wonder of you and your family at this so so precious time.

I'm renowned at putting people at ease, I’m super organised and I can turn my eyelids inside out (that last part may not be overly useful but might keep you entertained!) – but most importantly I capture you and your family at those moments in time, simply being wonderful.

So get in contact, I love a chat!

“We are so glad we went with Matt to get precious photos of our baby son. He managed a great balance between natural, relaxed shots and suggestions of poses, giving us a great range. He was friendly and easy going and happy to fit in around us (definitely a bonus with a tiny baby!). The photos are gorgeous! We will definitely be asking Matt to return once our little one is a bit bigger.” - Daniel, Katy and Teddy

“From the first e-mail I knew we had found the right photographer for our family shoot. So professional, interactive and friendly - wow if somebody put that much effort into their initial contact, what was their work going to be like?

Matt captured everything we asked for - a moment in our life that was so precious and at my request very intimate (breastfeeding my baby) and I can't wait to show and talk to our little girl about the photos/video when she is older (& interested!) - all of them have something that sparks a "oh do you remember" moment for us. I didn't hesitate to book a second shoot.

Book Matt, you will not be disappointed - he listens, makes you feel so at ease not to mention his wonderful skill at taking the perfect photo.” - Lindsay and Greg Simons - June 2020

I help busy supermums like you, capture the precious early days, in locations that have true meaning

For every booked shoot I’ll connect with you so we work through what is truly important to you, what is important to your family that you want documenting, all those new little things that you want to remember, knowing they are so fleeting.

This is your time, this is precious time and with everything changing before you even realise it - now IS the right time to book in your session.

Why should I choose a documentary newborn photographer over a studio photographer?

At Matt Trott Photography, we specialise in documentary newborn photography, which means that we are able to capture special moments in an environment that feels comfortable and meaningful for you as a family. This is not just about getting beautiful photos of you and your baby, it’s about getting those photos in an environment/situation that will hold meaning and value to you for the rest of your life. Take a look at this short video demonstrating the type of documentary photos i specialise in.

How to book your newborn photography:

Love this style of photography for your newborn? Great! I love it too! The initial cost for the shoot is only £150 with a choice of wall art and packages to buy after. If you're reading this then you're one step closer to having those family photos it's taken you so long to get around to. I cover the Kent county but happy to travel to essex, london and surrey

Step 1 - Just get in contact

You can contact me in lots of different ways - either fill out the contact form at the bottom of this page, use whatsapp or email me at Matt@matttrottphotography.co.uk or call on 01622 371199.

Step 2 - Your newborn session

My sessions are pretty casual and relaxed, running for about an hour. I will get a range of photos of you with your kids, the kids by themselves, and you and your partner. Then I pretty much let the kids be themselves. Nothing is forced, I will reach out in advance to see what you want to have captured about your family at this moment in time.

Step 3 - After your session

I love the editing and curating part after a newborn shoot - seeing up close what antics the kids got up to, so your final pics are generally delivered in around 2 weeks displayed in a beautiful online gallery for you to be able to pick your favourites for purchase.

What does the session fee include?

• Session fee is £150
  1-2 hrs (2 hrs max) of photography

• Choice of morning, afternoon or evening session

• Up to 6 people included (additional cost for bigger parties)

• Travel (within 1hr) from Trott headquarters (travel costs thereafter)

• Selection of at least 60 images for you to choose from

  All the preparation, shooting, post production and creation of the gallery.

How are you going to enjoy your photos?

Take a minute - have a look on your phone, how many photos have you got on there? How often do you see them? How do you re-live those moments time and time again? I am a huge tech head, I love everything digital - but the reality is unless you have it printed, you just don’t “see” the photos. It’s why in any consultation I’ll ask you about this and what your plan is.

After the shoot, your online gallery will guide you through all your purchase options from digital only purchases to Bespoke Wall art to Reportage albums or collections that combine all. All my products are high-quality offerings and any framed element is bespoke to your needs and all albums are hand designed by me. The average spend for my families is £900 - £1500

This is your opportunity to celebrate the wonder of your family - each and every day.
