This was a variation on one of my standard poses, requested by the parents at their session, and it worked really well.

A newborn baby being supported by the hands of both parents

Usually for this shot I have the baby on the giant beanbag and just dad kneeling in front, holding their little one in his hands. It’s not actually holding them in the air, that would be far too precarious, the beanbag is doing the work underneath. In this case though they wanted both parents’ hands in the picture, and I have to say it’s a much nicer version. Definitely an idea I’m going to shamelessly steal going forward.

Newborn Photography in East Grinstead

Newborn photo shoots are best when your baby is between 5 and 10 days old. This is when they’re at their sleepiest and curliest, perfect for capturing those beautifully calm and natural images. I recommend booking while you’re still pregnant so we can set a provisional date and adjust once your baby arrives.

Your session takes place in my warm, cosy studio in Crawley Down, designed with your baby’s comfort in mind. Sessions are relaxed and unrushed, and include three digital images of your choice for £95. There’s no sales session, just a private online gallery where you can view and choose your favourites in your own time.
