a black and white image of a newborn swaddled and sleeping in a moses basket

There’s something timeless about a newborn portrait in black and white. This little one snoozed soundly, swaddled in soft knits and tucked into my Moses basket.

I love creating classic, simple images like this as part of my newborn sessions. They’re the kind of photographs that never go out of style — perfect for wall art or keepsake albums.

When you see your newborn gallery, you’ll see all of your images in colour but I always add in some copies in black and white so you can get a feel for how they would look.  If you’d like a specific image converted to black and white, then all you need to do is ask.

Want to find out more about the difference between traditional and lifestyle newborn photography?

I offer two main styles of photography when you book for a newborn photo shoot at my studio and there are some differences between the two.  You’ll be able to choose between them before you come to visit so check out my comprehensive article and see which one suits you best!

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.
