Jellycat are probably the most popular toys that I see in the studio for newborn and baby shoots and, although they come in so many different varieties, I think the bunny is topping the charts of the most frequent visitors.
They’re a great addition to any newborn shoot, as are first toys and gifts of any brand, and I’d definitely encourage you to bring them along to any newborn shoot. If you select a Lifestyle Newborn shoot, we don’t use any props as we rely on my bed and Moses Basket set up but that doesn’t mean that you can’t include toys, personalised items and blankets as well as any other items you’d like to bring along.
Newborn Photography
A newborn photo shoot is best when your baby is between 5 and 10 days old as this is when they are at their maximum sleepiness and poseability to capture those dreamy shots. For this reason, I definitely recommend that you book when you are pregnant as this is one less thing to worry about scheduling when you’ve just got home from the hospital. We make an appointment for your due date plus 7 days and then adjust it as needed.
My newborn shoots include your three favourite digital images which you select from your online gallery a few weeks after your photo shoot – I don’t make you attend a sales or viewing session. Sessions take place in my warm and cosy studio in Crawley Down and cost £95.
