When you come in for a newborn session, you can choose between a traditional studio set-up or my lifestyle set. If you go for the lifestyle option, most of the session will be on my bed set.

It’s a relaxed setting with a warm, at-home feel – and it works really well for including older siblings, as you can see here. We also use my Moses basket, which can be set against either light or dark flooring depending on the look you’re after. Wraps, blankets and accessories are all chosen to suit your colour palette throughout.

As with all my sessions, you’re always welcome to bring things from home that you’d like to include. It’s a nice way to make the images feel personal and specific to your family.

Siblings are always welcome at newborn sessions. How we approach it depends on the age of the older children, but there’s almost always a way to make it work. Take a look at the sibling guide for everything you need to know before you book.

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.
