This little guy came in at a few days old for his newborn photos, following in the footsteps of his big sister a few years earlier.

He was a very content baby who seemed to be having extremely happy dreams about something.

When older siblings are involved, especially if they’re under three, I usually suggest they come along at the end of the session rather than the beginning. It’s a fairly boring place to sit while we’re getting a new baby settled and photographed, and by the time we’re ready for sibling shots they can be thoroughly done with the whole thing. Bringing them in fresh at the end works much better. That’s what we did here and it worked really well. By the time his big sister arrived we’d got everything we needed from the newborn part of the session, and she was ready and happy to be there.

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.
