A photographer who understands how much there is to think about

You don't need to have everything organised before coming to your session.

-Your baby might need feeding.

-They might need cuddles.

-They might not sleep.

-And that's okay.

I want my studio to feel like somewhere you can take a breath, slow down and simply enjoy being with your baby as those early newborn days pass in such a blur.

Between the sleepless nights, feeding schedules and adjusting to life with your new baby, it’s easy to forget just how quickly everything changes. My aim is to create a calm, relaxed experience where you can slow down for a moment and preserve this stage exactly as it feels right now.

If your dream is to capture those special moments through a neutral family photoshoot. Or showcasing the many milestone you go through as family.

Or do you believe in sentimental family moments that can last a life time which makes you remember how it felt to be in that moment?

Maybe you believe your family photos are the most precious thing you will own.

Then hi I'm Michelle the photographer behind MGS Photography and your Newborn, Family and Birthday photographer in Nottingham (Ng16). I aim to give you a calm, natural and relaxed photography experience and I’d love to welcome you into my cosy home studio and capture this special stage for your family.

LET ME PUT A FACE TO THE PERSON BEHIND THE CAMERA

WHY I BECAME A NEWBORN AND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

Photography has always been a huge part of my life. Ever since I can remember, I’ve had a camera in my hand, capturing holidays, everyday moments and the people I love. That passion eventually led me to study Photography at A Level, but after that, life took me in a different direction and my camera was put to one side for a few years.

Until I turned 30 and realised I wanted to turn something I truly loved into a career — something that would allow me to be creative while making a real difference to other people’s lives. That’s when MGS Photography was born.

Turning my love of photography into a career has allowed me to specialise in newborn, family and first birthday photography in Nottingham

There's something incredibly special about preserving memories that can never be recreated. Tiny newborn fingers, the way your baby fits perfectly in your arms, or the giggles and cuddles shared as a family—these are the moments that pass by far too quickly.

As a newborn and baby photographer in Nottingham, I love capturing those fleeting early days through natural, relaxed newborn photography and baby photography. As your little ones grow, I also get to capture the milestones that come next — from relaxed family photography in Nottingham to those all-important first birthday photographs.

I believe your photographs should feel natural, timeless and full of the people and moments that matter most to you. Whether I’m photographing a tiny newborn, your growing family or your baby’s first birthday, my aim is always to create beautiful photographs that tell your story and bring those memories back for years to come.

Being trusted to capture such important moments for families is a privilege I’ll never take for granted. After all, these are the photographs that become treasured keepsakes — reminders of just how little they once were, and how much they were loved.

Testimonial

"Michelle is such a lovely, unique photographer who provides such a warm and comfortable environment for you and your baby. I have had a few photoshoots before and have never felt so at ease to tend to my little one when he started to fuss/needed a little break. Massive effort was made by her before the shoot to get to know my baby and she was prepared when I got there"
