The miniature white bed is one of the most requested props in the studio, and it’s easy to see why. It’s a classic set-up that works with a lot of different styling options, but honestly the simple version is often the best. A patchwork quilt, a little fluffy blanket, a tiny pillow. Sometimes less really is more.

For any prop that’s raised off the floor, there’s always a parent just out of shot. That’s standard practice. It’s immensely unlikely that a settled newborn would startle themselves, but we don’t take chances with it regardless. Safety comes first, always, and that means a spotter is there for every single elevated shot without exception.

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.
