Her mum spotted the lace romper on the website during the session and asked if we could include it. We could, and I’m glad she asked.

I keep a selection of hats, headbands, and outfits in the studio so there’s always something to hand if the moment calls for it. Outfit changes during a newborn session need a bit of care, as moving a settled baby always carries the risk of waking them, so I don’t suggest them too often. But when the timing is right and your baby is deeply settled, it’s worth trying. This one went smoothly.

Lace works particularly well for newborn portraits. The texture photographs nicely and it keeps things simple without being plain.

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.
