Hello, I’m Andrea, the heart behind Andrea Payne Photography. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been passionate about capturing life’s most beautiful moments – and for the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of specialising in maternity, newborn, and baby photography. Based in Carryduff, Belfast, my cosy home studio is where I bring your family’s stories to life, creating portraits that are filled with love and emotion.
Check out the behind the scenes
Photography, for me, is more than just a profession; it’s a heartfelt passion and a way to preserve those fleeting, precious moments that we wish we could hold onto forever. I understand that every family, every child, and every story is unique, and I am dedicated to capturing those individual details that make each session special.
My goal is to create images that don’t just reflect how you looked, but how you felt in those moments – the love, joy, and connection that make your family truly one of a kind.
​
I take great care in handling each session, with particular attention to the comfort and safety of every little one I photograph. From ensuring a warm, welcoming environment to using gentle, baby-friendly techniques,
I make it a priority to help your child feel safe, comfortable, and completely at ease. My sessions are designed to be as relaxed and enjoyable as possible, so that each member of your family can be themselves, allowing those genuine smiles and connections to shine through.
The best photographs happen when families can truly relax, embrace the experience, and focus on each other. That’s why I take the time to get to know you, to understand what’s most important to you, and to create a space where you can simply enjoy these moments together.
Whether it’s a newborn’s tiny fingers, a toddler’s joyful laugh, or the love shared between parents and children, I strive to capture those details in a way that feels authentic and timeless.
​
I look forward to welcoming you and your family into my studio, where we’ll work together to create beautiful, meaningful images that you’ll treasure for a lifetime. These are more than just photographs; they are memories captured, stories told, and moments preserved for you and your loved ones to revisit again and again.
My Work at the Studio
Located in Carryduff, just a short drive from Belfast, my cosy home studio is a haven for capturing the precious moments of your growing family. Designed with new parents and little ones in mind, the studio offers a relaxed, homely atmosphere where you can feel at ease while I work behind the camera to create beautiful, timeless portraits.
​
As you step into the studio, you'll find a comfortable seating area where you can unwind with a hot drink while I capture the magic of your baby’s first days or special milestones. I understand the importance of a soothing environment, ensuring that both you and your little one feel comfortable throughout the session.
​
The studio is fully equipped with everything we need to create stunning images, from delicate props and soft blankets for newborns to playful setups for cake smash celebrations. For maternity sessions, I offer a selection of elegant gowns to help you feel your best as we document this special time. Every detail is thoughtfully arranged to ensure that your experience is personalised and enjoyable.
​
With a commitment to safety and hygiene, I take great care in preparing the studio, making sure all props and surfaces are cleaned and sanitised before and after each session. At Andrea Payne Photography, my goal is to provide a professional yet relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy capturing moments that will be treasured forever.
