Light, neutral, and pastel shades are popular choices for newborn photography, and they work beautifully with the softness of a new baby. But they’re not the only option.

Darker backdrops can work really well too, and I have a good range to choose from. Navy is a particularly good one as it pairs easily with lighter blues, teals, and deeper navy accessories to really make the colour sing. If you’re drawn to something bolder, don’t be afraid to go for it.

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.
