Two parents look down at their newborn in silhouette

There’s something timeless about those first quiet days together. This portrait captures the connection that’s hard to put into words – just the gentle curve of two parents leaning in towards their new baby, held in soft light.

It’s a simple setup, but it tells such a powerful story – that everything important now fits in the space between them. No props, no distractions, just love and light.

I love creating portraits like this in my Crawley Down studio. They’re peaceful, personal, and beautifully understated and the kind of image that never feels out of date, no matter how much time passes.

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.
