Favourite toys are a popular addition to any newborn photo shoot and of course, that makes perfect sense. Quite often those first toys will be your new baby’s companion for many years to come.
Toys naturally come in many forms and I’ve lost count of how many different types I’ve had in the studio over the year but in this case, we had a little dinosaur nap buddy and I managed to find a perfectly coordinating blanket to keep them snuggly. I do remember the octopus toy that came to visit once being more of a challenge but I do like to be surprised so always bring along your new arrivals best-friend-in-waiting and we can capture their very first days together!
Newborn Photography
A newborn photo shoot is best when your baby is between 5 and 10 days old as this is when they are at their maximum sleepiness and poseability to capture those dreamy shots. For this reason, I definitely recommend that you book when you are pregnant as this is one less thing to worry about scheduling when you’ve just got home from the hospital. We make an appointment for your due date plus 7 days and then adjust it as needed.
My newborn shoots include your three favourite digital images which you select from your online gallery a few weeks after your photo shoot – I don’t make you attend a sales or viewing session. Sessions take place in my warm and cosy studio in Crawley Down and cost £95.
