Newborn Photography East Grinstead West Sussex

My natural newborn style of photography is one of the most recent additions to the studio and I was so excited to put all of my plans into action in to the first session with it.

There’s no difference in the way that you book your newborn photography but when you get your options form the day before your session, then you’ll now have the chance to pick the natural prop set.  It’s designed to give you the same great studio quality but with a more lifestyle feel – you’ll be able to use my bed set up as pictured above and also my Moses basket set.

Ideas for items to bring along from home to include might be…

  • blankets
  • first toys
  • personalised signs
  • handmade items

With this type of photography, your baby will never be naked so I suggest bringing them along in a plain white sleepsuit or vest for their photos although we might strip them down to swaddle them.

It’s the kind of session that’s perfect if you and older children want to get involved and because we are not intervening as much with your newborn, then it’s one that you could definitely say suits older ‘newborns’ who’ve passed the traditional two week window.
 
The bed set up offers us a neutral palette of whites and creams but we can add in splashes of colour with my range of blankets, wraps and even florals if that floats your boat.
 
It’s the kind of session that will really suit you if you like to keep things simple and you’re not a fan of prop-based newborn photography.  There’s also a good chance that you’ll be able to relax on my king size inflatable bed for at least part of the session and let me tell you, it’s pretty comfy!

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.
