At this session, this little one’s mum had brought along several great items to include.  Some of them reflected her multi national heritage and some of them were just plain adorable.

They were keen to have a few pictures with a love heart theme so they had brought along the heart shaped fluffy cushion so I teamed it up with my bright red wrap and my little wooden ‘LOVE’ letters to tie everything together.  I do have a good stock of bits and pieces at the studio that I can add in with the items that you bring along to complement them.

This was a session of two halves really as this little lass was extremely unsettled at the start of it – I know when this happens that parents can feel like they’re not going to get any pictures and that it can be quite stressful for them.  I’d always say not to worry, if you’d seen this little one at the start of the session with an awful lot to shout about versus the finished gallery of pictures where she is settled, sleepy and happy as a clam, you’d know that we pretty much always get there in the end.

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.
