All of the family are welcome at a newborn session – and that includes the dog.

A newborn and a greyhound

You know your dog best, so you’ll have a good sense of whether they’re likely to go along with it. The family who brought this lad in weren’t sure at all – he was quite a nervous soul. But after a good settling-in period and a fair amount of treat-based persuasion, he relaxed completely. I’m really glad they gave it a go.

Whenever we’re including anyone other than an adult alongside a newborn – human or furry – there’s always a parent close by to make sure everything stays safe and comfortable while I take the photos. Safety first, always.

Thinking of Including your Dog in your Newborn Photo Shoot?

Dogs are always welcome at newborn sessions, but it does take a bit of planning and not every dog will take to the studio environment. Take a look at my guide to newborns and dogs for everything you need to know before you book.

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.
