Rainbow baby is a term for a baby who is born to parents who have previously experienced loss due to stillbirth, miscarriage, or other factors leading to neonatal death.
It is a symbol used for many years by a large community of parents who have suffered baby loss, to symbolise hope and light after a dark time. I would love to help you celebrate your very own rainbow baby.
The photoshoot involving a rainbow baby is something truly magical.
Having experienced miscarriage both firsthand and through the experiences of family and friends, I understand the significance of celebrating the precious new life that follows.
This time is second to none.
This is why I have decided to gift one rainbow baby session each month to eligible parents.
You can nominate yourself, or this can be done by a family member and gifted as a surprise after the baby is born.
As with all my newborn photoshoots, your session would ideally take place in the first 2 weeks after your baby is born, but I do work with babies up to a month old.
EXCELLENT Based on 177 reviews Posted on Toni AveryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner set up a photoshoot with Claire for our son’s first birthday and we instantly felt welcomed and put at ease. It was our first photoshoot as a family and we honestly enjoyed every second. We were a bit unsure how the pictures were going to come out as our son didn’t really smile throughout the shoot, however we were all pleasantly surprised with how beautiful the pictures are! We couldn’t recommend Claire enough to anyone who is looking for a family photoshoot!Posted on Joyce RodgersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clare was absolutely amazing with our daughter Theodora, we chose to do the mini newborn shoot and booked a second shoot at 8 months old with her baby cousin who was 4 months. Both times felt such at ease whilst she took all the pictures and catered to our requests. We are so excited to see the final pictures and look forward to using her again in the future. Thank you so much.Posted on Freya McleanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. such a lovely wholesome experience made us feel very relaxed and welcome even tho we have a fidgety baby Claire was brilliant with her which made us feel at easy can’t recommend her enough.Posted on Kellie DownieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Thank you Clare.Posted on Saffron SomersetTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the best time at our newborn photo shoot! Clare is magical with her camera and with the babies, she takes all the stress away so we could just relax. She was also brilliant at wrangling our older boys & it was lovely to revisit to see all the photos once they were ready. We are so pleased with our photos & the beautiful prints we ordered too.Posted on Kathryn WildeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a mini maternity shoot with Clare and although I was so nervous, Clare made me feel completely at ease and very comfortable. I can’t wait to come back for the newborn shoot. Clare is truly amazing at what she does.Posted on NatalieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came across Samphire photography when I was pregnant with my first baby seven years ago. There was something about Clare’s ability to catch the finest little details and put her own stamp on her photography. That was something I hadn’t seen elsewhere. I am so glad I chose Samphire photography because I have the most beautiful photos and memories that I will cherish forever. Clare is professional, flexible but very welcoming and her handling of newborn babies makes you feel at ease. I also love that fact that the majority of shoots are done in Clare’s studio at the back of her home. It makes the atmosphere more relaxing and it feels more personal. She has lots of creative ideas but at the same time, listening to what I want. I have since been back for a bluebell photoshoot of my daughter and most recently, a maternity photoshoot which I won. I have booked to have another newborn shoot when my second baby has been born and I can’t wait. I will never go anywhere else for my photo’s! Thank you Clare for creating such beautiful images xPosted on Talia BlakeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing experience for my pregnancy photoshoot.

SPECIALIST NEWBORN & BABY PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi, I’m Clare, a Horsham Photographer based in West Sussex with over 15 years of experience.
I adore all kinds of photography, but it is portraiture that is my true love.
Good photography captures memories of a moment in time which can otherwise fade all too quickly.
The ability to record a PERFECT MOMENT in a family’s life, a newborn smile or the serenity of an expectant mother is a real delight.
