When parents have put love and thought into their baby’s nursery, it often reflects something meaningful to them – a feeling, a fascination, or simply a sense of wonder they want to surround their child with.
In this case, it was space. For this newborn session, Mum had created a space-themed nursery, full of deep blues and stars. So I worked it gently into their newborn photos – using a starry night sky backdrop to create an image that felt calm, magical, and personal to this little boy.
Not every theme needs costumes or heavy props. Sometimes it’s about mood, colour, and suggestion – letting the idea sit quietly in the background while keeping the baby firmly at the centre of the image.
Whether that’s done with real sets in the studio or carefully chosen digital elements, I’ll always try to reflect your ideas in a way that feels timeless and true to newborn photography.

I have a whole article that talks in details about how and why I work with digital backdrops as part of my studio newborn photography process including a deep dive into how they work and shots of them in action. You can check it all out using the button below.
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.
