This little one was in such a hurry to arrive that she came early, weighing just over four pounds. She looks tiny on the miniature bed, and she really was. But she was home and well in no time, and that made the session feel like a proper celebration.

Early babies are actually one of the few cases where the usual newborn photography timing works a little differently. Ideally I’d photograph a newborn between five and ten days old to get those deeply sleepy poses, but when a baby arrives ahead of schedule, the window shifts. We get a bit more time to work with, which is always welcome.

She was a dream to photograph. Peaceful, settled, and completely unbothered by the whole thing.

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.
