Our popular
Watch Me Grow Experience
is back!
Following the temporary stop of this popular experience, due to covid-19, we are thrilled to announce that it is back!
The first year is full of, well, firsts! The next twelve months will be a voyage of discovery for your newborn as they discover the world and it’s people, not to mention their own strength and they’ll be doing it all with you at their side.
We are here to help you capture it all… After have a pre-shoot chat, either by phone or here at our studios, we will meet your newborn within their first 14 days for the professional shoot with us. We will create you a stunning portfolio of imagery, not forgetting those tiny details of scrunched up toes and beautiful flickers of hair. It gets exciting for us, as we welcome you & your family back to the studio at around 5-7 months to capture them exploring the world around them. There beautiful L-shaped sitting pose will be the basis for this shoot however we also love a bit of tummy time, if they will let us! Your third, and final, shoot with us is a celebration of the first twelve months of you as a family unit. Choose between a Family Portrait Experience, or a Smash & Splash Experience.
This, truly is, a wonderful way to capture your Baby’s first year
£99 for the, overall, experience*
*£49 if booked before 16 April 2021. Our diaries are open to bookings until the end of July 2021. So long as your booking has been made by 16 April 2021, it doesn’t matter if it is scheduled for later on in the year.
Is there a free print included?
A “free print” doesn’t look after you. Over the 15 years of shooting, we have learnt that spending most of the day with us, makes it very difficult for you to pick “just the one”… We don’t want to put you in that strange, and slightly awkward, position of only being gifted one & wanting more. Instead, we offer:
£100 credit to spend at your Newborn Art Experience with us
£150 credit to spend on your 6 month, Little Sitters, session
50% off wall art and/or printed portfolio albums at your final experience with us, which is a choice of a Family Portrait Experience or a Smash & Splash Experience
as well as priority booking for our popular Springtime and Festive themed photoshoots and a first birthday gift, for you all to enjoy.

How do I book?
It all begins with an idea. Maybe this is your first child. Maybe this is a moment you truly want to treasure forever, as they’re only this small once. Or maybe you see this as a new beginning for you and your growing family… A moment which needs acknowledging in a way a simple selfie simply cannot do justice. Whatever it is, let us help you tell your story .
To book, simply fill in the contact form below and James or Kirsty will give you a call back to discuss shoot ideas and compare diaries… We’re here to do all of the work for you… From photographing this moment to making you a fresh cuppa.
“My camera allows you to ditch the humble selfie, along with its elongated arms, thumbed corners and half chopped heads so everyone is able to be included in imagery that will spark stories, giggles and warmth for years to come.” James, photographer
After 15 years running high street studios, I'm honoured to have my very own studio on the doorstep to the Peak District in Derbyshire. We bought a 200 year old barn and, despite the odds, we managed to save it from a tumble down ruin with no roof to what you see today. I only book one newborn art experience a day (mainly because I’m shocking at time keeping) however the bespoke nature of Studio1825 means that my wife, Kirsty, and I are able to dedicate so much more time to each of our clients and I’m finally able to create the imagery I’ve waited years to make… I’m so proud to say, welcome to the home of the studio with James.
