Newborn Experience East Cork & West Waterford
Celebrate the Arrival of Your Little Miracle
There’s nothing like those first days with your newborn — tiny toes, sweet sighs, and that unforgettable baby smell. It’s a blur of joy, wonder, and a few tired tears. Time flies, and before you know it, they’re grinning with two teeth and a cheeky giggle.
That’s why I’m passionate about capturing these fleeting moments. At R&R Photography, every baby is treated with care, love, and patience — just like one of my own. I’ll help you create timeless keepsakes and offer a calm, heartfelt experience along the way.
Let’s capture the magic of this special time, together.
Hi there, I’m Vivien.
I’ll be the one behind the camera capturing this exciting time for your family!

Testimonials
"Vivien made the whole experience so relaxed and enjoyable. We were a bit nervous bringing our toddler and newborn, but she had such a calm, natural way with both of them. The kids had great fun and the photos are just stunning. Honestly, she’s magic with little ones!"
Ashina - Dungarvan
Testimonials
“From the moment we stepped into Vivien’s studio, we felt like we were in the safest hands. She captured the most beautiful moments of our baby girl’s first days — the tiny toes, the sleepy smiles, even the way she curled her fingers. I cried when I saw the photos. Vivien has a gift, and I’ll treasure these memories forever.”
Emma - Cork
Testimonials
"We’ve been coming to Vivien for years — from our first maternity shoot to our third baby’s newborn session. She feels like part of the family at this stage! Her warmth, patience, and sense of humour put everyone at ease, and her work just keeps getting better. We wouldn’t go anywhere else.”

What to expect!
The Session!
The studio is lovely and warm, so it’s best to wear layers you can peel off if you get too cosy. There’s a little play area for siblings, so they’ll have plenty to keep them happy — toys, telly, and a few snacks if they’re peckish.
All you need to do is sit back and relax. We’ll feed baby if they’re hungry and take our time if they need a little cuddle or break. If you’re bringing siblings, we’ll do the family photos first — that way, they can unwind afterwards while we focus on your newest little arrival. Your newborn session will last between 1 to 3 hours, depending on the package you’ve chosen and whether siblings are included. Ideally you want your little one around 7-20 days old.
The Wardrobe for Mam, Girls and Babies!
With a beautiful selection of designer dresses available, there’s no need to stress about what to wear for your session. I’ve curated a wardrobe full of flattering, timeless pieces — the kind you might not think to buy, but will absolutely love wearing. Most styles suit a range of sizes, and there's something special for everyone.
And for your little one? I’ve got the softest knits and wraps ready to go. All you need to bring is yourselves — I’ll take care of the rest.
Pick and Upgrade your Gallery
After our time together, you’ll receive a link to your online gallery within 1 week.
You’ll be able to view and select your favourite images from the comfort of your home. The gallery will stay open for 72 hours, giving you plenty of time to choose — and if you’re like most of my clients, you might just fall in love with the whole gallery!
You can also pick additional prints and any frames or albums to hang on your walls. You can find the available wall art below.
