I hand pick all my props and accessories to be as versatile as possible. It keeps storage manageable, but more importantly it means I can style things differently to suit each family’s taste and colour scheme.

The newborn nest is a good example of this. It works really well with florals, but I also have a plain green garland that adds a simple pop of colour without making things too fussy – great for a more neutral look or for boys. I’ve also styled it with teddies, autumn leaves, pumpkins, and plenty of other things over the years.

The props give us a starting point. From there, we work together to make sure the finished image feels right for you.

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.
