a digitally composited newborn image with a baby sleeping among crates of teddy bears

This picture is the perfect illustration of why I love to include the occasional digital backdrop in my newborn photography.

I have a Magpie heart when it comes to props and I love to collect up pretty much anything I can get my hands on but I do have to show a bit of restraint as both studio and storage space are finite.  So, while I would love to have all of these bears in real life, there is no way that I actually can.  So this little backdrop lets me get my vicarious bear joy while still having room to move in my storage sheds!

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 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.
