Jaundice is really common in newborns during their first few days. It’s a normal part of adjusting to life outside the womb, but it can show up as a strong yellow tone in photographs.

If you’re worried about how that might look in your images, please don’t be. As part of my editing process, I correct jaundice by hand in every final photo. It’s a careful, gentle colour correction that brings your baby’s skin tones back to something soft and natural, without ever losing what makes them look like themselves.

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.
