This is one of the most requested shots in the studio. It’s perfect for parents who want to be part of the newborn session without being fully in front of the camera, though plenty of parents who are happy on camera love it too.

This particular one wasn’t planned. The mum spotted it on the studio wall during the session, her little one was still beautifully sleepy, and we decided to go for it. Although it looks as though your baby is balanced in the air, it’s actually taken by shooting downwards onto the beanbag, so there’s no risk involved at all. Safety is always the priority with newborn photography.

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.
