Essex Baby Photography

Essex and the surrounding areas

Your family is evolving and you are looking for timeless baby photography to capture this season of life, sincerely and without heavy props or costumes. While babies in baskets are cute, that's just not your style. 
 
I specialise in natural and emotive newborn photography in Essex, with a focus on the pure and unobstructed emotions that a child brings. No crazy props or poses - just your little ones, their cheeky personalities (that will be shining through even at two weeks old, believe me!), beautiful natural light and voila, the magic is done! 


Whether in the serenity of your own home or one of my secluded outdoor locations, these baby photographs will transcend time and last for generations to come. Imagine snuggling up on the sofa with your grandchildren one day and showing them what an adorable baby their dad was...

"We couldn't be more thankful to Zee Gunchev, who is truly one of a kind in her profession. She took the most beautiful shots of our children, that to this day, still bring back unforgettable memories."

The Photosession Experience

In a world full of  endless "To Do" lists, I try to make your baby photo session experience as hassle-free as possible. Here's what happens
when you contact me:

01

Tell me about yourself

Fill out the contact form with the type of photo session you need (baby, child, family). We will then discuss the different packages and find one that suits you best.

 

Once the basics are out of the way, I will send you a short and sweet questionnaire with a few simple questions about yourself and your preferences so that I can tailor the photo session to your unique family.

02

Planning the session

After you've told me all about your family (I'm such a sentimental person - I love hearing all about your families!), we decide on the best location - the privacy of your own home, or an outdoor location from my secret handbook with photoshoot-worthy secluded spots.

 

After that, we pick a wardrobe scheme that works with your personal style. If you don't have anything suitable, you can also chose from my client wardrobe of curated dresses.

03

The day has come

It's the day of your photo session - so exciting! It's time to relax and enjoy our time together. On the day itself, I will help you feel at home in front of the camera by letting you be your wonderful selves whilst gently guiding you in order to achieve your desired result.

 

For optimum results I aim for at 1-1.5h of shooting time. This gives me plenty of time to create stunning images - although I swear it always goes by in a flash (yep, that's how much I love my job)!

04

The Result

Because I'm just as impatient as you to see the images, within 48 hours of your session, the sneak peeks will be released.

Two weeks after your session you will receive the full private viewing gallery with your edited photos. At this time you can chose your favourites and upgrade with any extra images you love. I will then send you the download link with your chosen portraits. If you have chosen "The Staple" or "The Luxe" packages, you will soon receive your printed artwork as well.

Q&A

Q: What should I wear?
I offer style assistance with helpful guides as part of my offerings. Together we will go over the photosession wardrobe so that we can achieve the result you want!

Q:  What if the British weather doesn't agree with our scheduled session date?
Don't worry - I have specific backup days which are saved particularly for this case.

Q:  I have more than one outfit for the baby to wear. Can I change them?
I would recommend planning one main outfit + one change max as I've found babies tend to get upset if there is more than that.
