Dogs are always welcome at newborn sessions, and it’s been great to have a few four-legged guests in the studio recently.

A newborn and a French Bulldog

This French Bulldog came along to meet his new baby sister. He had very firm opinions about where he was going to stand and when he was going to cooperate, but after a few minutes and a certain amount of negotiation, he settled and gave us exactly what we needed. Just look at those eyes.

Adding a dog to a newborn session is never a problem, but it does add a layer of unpredictability. Come armed with their favourite treats and a bit of patience and we’ll always give it a proper go.

Thinking of Including your Dog in your Newborn Photo Shoot?

Dogs are always welcome at newborn sessions, but it does take a bit of planning and not every dog will take to the studio environment. Take a look at my guide to newborns and dogs for everything you need to know before you book.

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.
