A newborn baby being supported by the hands of both parents

This is a shot that the mum and dad requested at their recent newborn session and it’s actually a really cool variation on the version that I normally do.

Generally I pose the newborn on the giant beanbag and have just the dad kneel down in front and hold their little one with their hands (obviously it’s not actually holding them into the air as that would be way too dangerous).  In this case though they wanted both their hands to be in the picture so that’s what we did.  Just love how they are both supporting their new arrival.  Definitely an idea that I’m going to shamelessly steal!

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.
