Olivemint Studio is a husband-and-wife team providing relaxed, documentary-style family and newborn photography across Suffolk, including Ipswich, Kesgrave, Woodbridge and Bury St Edmunds. They capture the beautiful chaos of family life and the quiet magic of new beginnings. Real over perfect, always.
They specialise in newborn sessions at home, gently paced around your baby's routine, and family lifestyle shoots that capture genuine smiles, natural interactions and the moments that matter most. Whether you're welcoming a new addition or simply want to hold onto this season of family life, Olivemint Studio makes the experience feel calm, easy and completely you.
If you're looking for a recommended family photographer or a natural family photographer in Suffolk one of the most common questions is, "Do I need to pose for photos?" The answer is no. There are no stiff poses — just gentle guidance while you and your family enjoy spending time together naturally.
Another question parents often ask is, "How soon after birth should we book a newborn session?" As a specialist newborn photographer trusted by Suffolk families, Olivemint Studio recommends booking for around two weeks after your due date, with plenty of flexibility to move the session once your baby arrives. Those early weeks are perfect for capturing curled-up, sleepy newborn moments, but sessions can be booked at any stage. With slightly older babies, you'll often capture those first smiles, expressions and giggles instead.
Worried your children won't sit still or smile on cue? Even better. The aim isn't posed smiles, but genuine ones. Running, laughing, exploring and simply being themselves is exactly what creates beautiful natural family photography and authentic documentary-style images.
Because behind every family is a story worth telling, and the little moments are the ones worth holding onto.
