I’ve added a digital backdrop option to my newborn photography over the past year or so. It’ll never be the main focus of what I do, but it does open up some set options that simply wouldn’t fit in the studio in real life, which is a practical bonus.

I’ve had the blue hot air balloon for a while, and when one of my favourite digital artists released a pink version I was very happy to add it to the collection. The pink version is set in a daytime sky, which gives it a different feel to the blue, which is set at night. They work nicely as a contrast to each other.

The key to making digital artwork look right as a finished image is to shoot with the end result in mind from the start. You’ll be able to add the hot air balloon, or anything else from my digital collection, when you choose your options before your session.

I have a whole article that talks in details about how and why I work with digital backdrops as part of my studio newborn photography process including a deep dive into how they work and shots of them in action.  You can check it all out using the button below.

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.
