A black labrador and a sleeping newborn

I’m a massive fan of dogs.  As the saying goes, everybody thinks they have the best dog and everybody is right.

That said, Ace really was the most impeccably behaved boy in the studio while he waited for his time in the spotlight.

There’s always an element of unpredictability when working with newborns and that obviously doubles when you add a dog into the mix.  I don’t think studio photography is right for all dogs but you’ll know if you’ve got a hope of including your pooch in your photos as you know them best.  Anyway, Ace really was quite content to sit and get fussed by his mum and dad while we got his human brother’s photos done and then he really posed very well when it was time for his turn.  Quite the little superstar.

I never have a problem including dogs in newborn (or any) photo shoots.  Never going to turn down the chance to hang out with your dog – you just have to ask!

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.
