This little one was a relaxed visitor to the studio and happy to snooze throughout while we created his images.

His mum and dad had requested my tiny truck digital backdrop, and with him being so settled it was straightforward to shoot for. To get a good digital composite, you really do need to shoot with it in mind from the start – that’s how I like to work, anyway, as it gives me much more control over the result. That’s why I always ask you to choose your digital background in advance so we can use the session time to create the right base image to edit into it.

It’s not a fixed menu though – sessions are always led by your baby, so if they’re not comfortable in a certain position I’ll never try to force it. We can’t always get through everything we’d like to, but I’ll always do my best to get you the images you’re after.

Interested in Finding Out More about Digital Backdrops and Newborn Photography

I have a whole article that talks in details about how and why I work with digital backdrops as part of my studio newborn photography process including a deep dive into how they work and shots of them in action.  You can check it all out using the button below.

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.
