My birth announcement prop set is one of the most popular additions to a newborn session, and it’s easy to see why.

When you select your props and backdrops before the session, you can add it in to create a personalised birth announcement image to share with friends and family. The set lets you include your baby’s name, date, time and weight at birth – the details that everyone wants to know – all captured in a single image.

The day before your session you’ll receive an email link to a selections page where you can let me know what you’d like included. That way I can have everything ready when you arrive, which keeps things moving and makes the most of your baby’s nap time.

The birth announcement set works in lots of different settings – here it’s paired with my wooden bowl, but it works just as well on the beanbag and is particularly popular alongside my miniature bed.

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.
