There’s nothing cosier for a newborn than a good swaddle – brings back all those in the womb feels and leads (almost invariably) to a really settled baby.
I use them all the time in my newborn photography – whether its to calm a little one who’s having trouble settling, to move a more alert baby between props and settings or just because they look super cute. Although the basic positioning in a swaddle doesn’t change, they are actually pretty versatile when it comes to newborn photography. This what I call the butterfly wrap, it’s simple both in terms of keep your baby settled and undisturbed and in the finished image result.
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 serene images. To ensure you don’t miss out, I recommend booking while you’re still pregnant—we’ll set a provisional date for a week after your due date and adjust if needed once your baby arrives.
Your session takes place in my warm and cosy studio in Crawley Down, designed for your baby’s comfort. The shoot is relaxed, unrushed, and includes three digital images of your choice, all for £95. There’s no sales session—just a private online gallery where you can view and select your favourites at your own pace.
