Most newborn requests lean towards neutral and pastel colours but not this family. They brought the tutu and headband specifically for the session and wanted something bold for their birth announcement.

Luckily I have a range of backdrops that includes some deeper, richer colours, so I was very happy to oblige. I’m a fan of purple, so this was a fun image to create. It also helped that Lyra was a very willing little model and we had a good time working through lots of different looks – not all purple themed.

As far as I’m concerned, newborn photography should give you exactly the images you want. Like it neutral? No problem. Want to go bold with colour? Also no problem. We’ll build what works for you in the studio.

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.
