a sleeping newborn in a pink outfit with a lace back detail.

Some of my newborn outfits are chosen because they photograph beautifully from every angle  and this is one of them.

For top-down newborn poses, especially tummy-tucked shots, the back of an outfit really matters. This soft, neutral piece has a delicate open back detail that keeps the focus on baby’s shape and skin while still feeling gentle and timeless.

I’m always thinking about how props and outfits work with the pose, not against it. Comfort comes first, but thoughtful design details like this mean I can capture those curled-up newborn shapes without anything distracting from the image.

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.
