Newborn sessions are a completely different experience to shooting with mobile babies or older children. They’re calm, warm, quiet sessions – the aim is to keep baby in a deep enough sleep that I can move and pose them gently without disturbing them.

It doesn’t always go to plan, of course. Newborns can be just as strong-willed as toddlers. But this little one was happy to snooze and pose, so she absolutely deserved her crown.

Her mum and dad wanted plenty of black and white images, so we went with a black backdrop. It’s a striking combination in colour, and converts really cleanly to black and white too. When you receive your newborn gallery, images will be included in both colour and black and white so you can see how each one translates. If you’d like any additional colour images converted, just let me know and I’ll take care of it.

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.
