It actually makes me a little bit sad to say this but this is the very time I’ve had the chance to do create newborn photography with a mermaid theme!
Of course, any sadness I feel at how long I have been waiting for this moment is totally overwhelmed with my joy when my client arrived with the beautiful crochet mermaid doll to include in her newborn photo shoot! So I practically ran to my prop store to grab my bag of sea shells (they are part of a tub splash accessory set) and created a little miniature themed set in my large wooden bowl to complement things. I sure didn’t need asking twice!
This little mermaid was actually a little older than I’d normally recommend for a newborn photo shoot but she actually settled really well and despite being a bit fidgety by the time that we got to the mermaid part of the session, there was no way I was going to give up and not get the image I was already in love with so we wrapped, shushed and rocked until she was ready to settle for a few minutes. Long enough to make my little heart very happy indeed!
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 serene images. To ensure you don’t miss out, I recommend booking while you’re still pregnant—we’ll set a provisional date for a week after your due date and adjust if needed once your baby arrives.
Your session takes place in my warm and cosy studio in Crawley Down, designed for your baby’s comfort. The shoot is relaxed, unrushed, and includes three digital images of your choice, all for £95. There’s no sales session—just a private online gallery where you can view and select your favourites at your own pace.
