This police set was a new one on me, and it came with knitted handcuffs. I mean, that’s hard to argue with.

It was brought in by a family with a police background, which is exactly the kind of personal prop that makes a session feel specific to that family rather than just a standard newborn shoot. He slept through the entire outfit change without stirring, which made the whole thing very straightforward.

The studio has a range of props and accessories to choose from before your session, but you’re always welcome to bring your own. Anything that reflects something meaningful about your family tends to make for the best images, and this is a good example of why.

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.
