Not every newborn session needs props. Sometimes the simplest approach produces the images that people go back to most.

A classic newborn portrait, your baby in their own outfit, on a clean simple background, is timeless in a way that heavily styled set-ups aren’t always. Trends in newborn photography come and go, and what feels very of-the-moment now can date quickly. A well-lit, simply composed portrait of a sleeping newborn in their coming-home outfit tends to age rather well.

This style is always available as part of a session alongside anything else you’d like to include. If you’d prefer to keep the whole session simple and classic, that works too. It’s entirely up to you.

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.
