My rose swing digital backdrop is one of the most requested at newborn sessions and it’s easy to see why.

Lola was three weeks old at her session, which is a little older than I’d normally recommend for newborn photography. But she was born a few weeks early, so in practice she was still extremely sleepy and happy to doze while I moved and posed her. When your baby arrives prematurely, we can often allow a little longer before they get too wakeful for newborn photos. Conversely, if your baby is late, the window tends to be a little shorter before they become too alert to settle for posing.

When you book a newborn session, you’ll have the chance to choose a digital backdrop to include if you’d like one. They’re not the main focus of what I do, but they’re a fun way to add something a little different to your gallery.

I have a whole article that talks in details about how and why I work with digital backdrops as part of my studio newborn photography process including a deep dive into how they work and shots of them in action.  You can check it all out using the button below.

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.
