Newborn Photography East Grinstead West Sussex

I love my little nest prop and it’s one of the most popular when it comes to newborn photography.  It can be styled in so many different ways so you can customise it to fit the style of images that you’d like to create.

In this case, we were going for quite a girly session and we had lots of pink and white while we were working on my giant beanbag.  Her mum also had requested a little bit of lilac and purple and this goes so well with the dark tones of the nest that it was the perfect spot to build that into the session as well.  I have a pretty large stash of artificial flowers and greenery in a range of colours so I can usually find something that meets the colour palette you’re after creating.  I think the lilac hydrangeas are actually pretty much my favourite of all of them though so I don’t need too much encouragement to get them out and into your photographs.

When you book a newborn photo shoot, you’ll get a form the day before your session which lets you choose your props and also let me know if there are any specific shots or colour schemes that you like me to work with.  That way, I can have everything prepared for you when you arrive so we don’t waste any time and I can be sure that I’m creating exactly the type of images that you are going to love.

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.
