I love to include a little feet shot at a newborn session – newborn feet are truly darling. Sometimes, parents like to include rings that are important to them included but this family went in a different direction.
This little girl had her middle name for her great grandma’s favourite colour – Lilac. Her mum and dad wanted to reference this in her photos and also brought along a very special bracelet that belonged to her to use in place of the rings. We wrapped her feet in a lilac blanket to echo the theme and included the bracelet on her little feet. Her great grandma isn’t with them any more so it was all the sweeter to make sure she was included in her great granddaughter’s images.
It’s often the tiniest details that take your breath away.
Those perfect little fingers curled around yours. Tiny toes that fit in the palm of your hand. In newborn photography, capturing hands and feet isn’t just about completing the picture—it’s about preserving the precious details that change so quickly. These gentle close-ups add so much heart to your gallery, and they often become the images families treasure most.
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.
