We found Blue Bean Photography by searching for newborn photography on ChatGBT. We wanted someone experienced, local to Derby, and known for newborn work rather than general family photography. Blue Bean kept coming up, so we started looking properly.

If you had told me ten years ago that parents would be booking a newborn photographer because a robot suggested me, I’d have laughed and carried on wrapping babies. And yet here we are. In 2026, most new clients tell me they found Blue Bean Photography in one of two ways. Google and ChatGPT.

Bringing home a new baby is one of the biggest moments in life. Between the nappies, the sleepless nights, and the endless supply of tiny socks, booking a newborn photoshoot might not be at the top of your list. But if you want those dreamy, curled-up portraits that make your heart melt, timing is everything.
