a baby boy newborn sleeping in a wooden bowl with a Peter Rabbit soft toy

This little guy had his photo shoot delayed by lock down so he is actually a good few weeks outside the newborn photography window but, as luck would have it, he decided to favour us with a quick nap.

Luck was definitely on our side for this session as I managed to settle him in my giant wooden bowl enough that he dropped off to sleep and allowed me to create this cute little Peter Rabbit set up.  Who doesn’t love Peter Rabbit?  He’s one of the most popular visitors to my studio – his appeal sure is enduring given that he was actually created in 1902!  In fact, thinking about this inspired me to create a brand new little set of Peter Rabbit accessories to use in the baby photography club – details will be coming soon.

It’s actually really unusual for a little one of this age (he was about 8 weeks old) to drop off to sleep in the studio and more so to let me move and pose him so I like to think he was just doing us a favour and getting the pictures that his mum and dad really wanted.

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.
