Every so often a prop needs a refresh, and the newborn drawer had been quietly due one for a while.

Newborn Photo Shoot Props West Sussex

It had last been painted over a decade ago, originally blue underneath with white on top and blue handles. This time I wanted something more neutral, so a couple of coats of chalk paint, a wax finish, and a quick trip to B&Q for new handles later and it’s back in business. Plain white, no more dog-eared edges, and I no longer have to feel slightly embarrassed about it. It can be dressed up in so many ways to suit different styles and colour schemes, which is exactly what a good prop should do.

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 calm and natural images. I recommend booking while you’re still pregnant so we can set a provisional date and adjust once your baby arrives.

Your session takes place in my warm, cosy studio in Crawley Down, designed with your baby’s comfort in mind. Sessions are relaxed and unrushed, and include three digital images of your choice for £95. There’s no sales session, just a private online gallery where you can view and choose your favourites in your own time.
