The angel wings are one of my most popular newborn props, but this clever mum went the whole way and brought along an entire angel ensemble for her session.

With tutus, I tend to cheat a little and drape them rather than actually dressing a sleeping baby in them. The floofier the better for this approach, and this one certainly delivered. You’re always welcome to bring your own items along, though I’d generally steer away from too many outfit changes as getting a sleeping newborn in and out of things is trickier than it sounds. That said, if you want to bring an angel costume, I’m absolutely not going to say no.

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.
