The pink shell chair is one of those props that suits a newborn particularly well. The size is just right for a tucked-up baby, and the velvet texture and shape do a lot of the visual work on their own.

This was the first newborn session it had been used for, and it was a good opportunity to try it with the vintage florals alongside. The flowers pick up the pink tones in the chair without matching them exactly, which gives the whole set-up a bit more depth. I was pleased with how it came together.

When you book a newborn session, you’ll get a pre-session form to choose your prop from the studio collection. Everything is set up and ready when you arrive, which means no time lost to rearranging and more time while your baby is settled and sleepy.

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.
