Meet Otis, who made the drawer prop look very easy.

The drawer is one of those props that can be hard to picture from the prop gallery on its own. Seeing it in use helps. In this case we kept the styling simple: a hand-knitted blue blanket, a matching hat, and a cream fluff lining. The blue and white palette does the work without overcomplicating things, and it keeps the focus where it belongs.

The drawer is always well padded inside. Comfort and safety first, styling second.

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.
