a sleeping newborn on a white bed wrapped in pink and with a pink bunny toy

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.

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.
