This is Archie, and there’s a good reason why he’s sleeping surrounded by a little fleet of digger toys. They belong to his big brother, who has promised they’ll play with them together when Archie is old enough.

We decided to capture that promise at his newborn session – Ethan lent them to him for a few minutes so we could get the shot. I’m pretty sure Archie is looking forward to it.

I’d always encourage you to bring along personal items to include in your session. They help tell your family’s story and make the images feel specific to you rather than anyone else.

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.
