a newborn sleeps in a wooden bowl surrounding by autumn leaves

Jack is an autumn baby and his mum and dad selected my wooden bowl as the prop they’d like to include in their session and asked that we include some autumn accessories to add to it.

Luckily for me, I’d just finished my pumpkin patch mini photo shoot events so I had lots of lovely autumn things directly to hand with mini pumpkins, autumn paper leaves, pine cones and acorns so it was a pleasure to dress the set with all the autumn love! There’s something very lovely about the autumn colour palette and it works perfectly with the natural wood of the bowl.  It’s a great idea to include some seasonal details in your photo shoot so just ask if you’d like to – always happy to oblige (and if it involves shopping for new pretty things, then so much the better!).

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.
