When you visit for a newborn session, you’re always invited to choose a digital background to include in your finished image gallery.

It’s all included in your session price. Not everyone wants one – some people prefer everything to be created in real life – but the option is always there if you’d like it.

You do need to choose your backdrop in advance, as I have to shoot specifically for it during your session. It’s not a case of picking a photo afterwards and dropping it in. The pose, position and blending all need to be right to get a natural result. They’re a fun way to add extra props or a bit of a fantasy element to your session, and they also help me offer a much wider range of set-ups than I could ever physically store.

This was the first time anyone had requested the pumpkin crate set-up and I have to say, I love how it turned out.

Interested in Finding Out More about Digital Backdrops and Newborn Photography

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.
