My birth announcement prop set is one of the most popular in the studio, and one of the most flexible to work with.

It works well on the beanbag or alongside most of my other props, so you can use it to create a birth announcement image that suits your style. It also makes for really nice wall art for the nursery, as well as a keepsake of those first few days.

When you book a newborn session, you’ll receive a form the day before so you can let me know the kind of photos you’re after and which props you’d like to include. I get everything prepared before you arrive so it’s all ready to go when you come in – it keeps things moving and makes the most of your baby’s nap time. If you’d like to include the birth announcement set, just add the details on the form and I’ll have it set up and waiting for you.

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.
