Sometimes a photo just comes together perfectly, and that was the case with this one.

We took a few minutes at the end of the newborn session to do some simple family portraits. I posed them up, stepped back, and the little fellow just smiled. Yes, you cynical lot can say it was wind. I know what I saw.

There’s always time to get involved in your new baby’s pictures. Some parents don’t feel camera ready at this point, which is completely understandable, but you’re always welcome to join in if you’d like to.

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.
