A baby sleeps on a bed wrapped in blue with a Cocker Spaniel lying behind him.

Welcoming a new baby into your home can be a big adjustment—not just for you, but for your dog too. That’s why I always love capturing moments like this: baby wrapped up safe and sound, and their first furry friend right by their side.

This little one was so content, and their dog clearly already understood the job—gentle, close, and protective. Whether your dog wants to snuggle up or just quietly be in the room, we’ll work at their pace to create something special without stress or pressure.

It’s more than a cute photo—it’s part of your family’s story. And those are the memories worth keeping.

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.
