Partway through Cassius’s session, his dad had a lightbulb moment. He’d just realised we could incorporate personal props, remembered he had his skateboard in the car, and went to get it.

Cassius was beautifully settled by that point and we’d already covered everything his mum had chosen, so the timing was perfect. Too good an opportunity to pass up.

You’re always welcome to bring things along to include in your session. It’s one of the nicest ways to make a gallery feel personal and reflect what your family is actually about.

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.
