A newborn sleeping in a basket posing with a white dog

There’s something so special about including pets in a newborn session – they’re such an important part of the family!

This little one’s session was made even sweeter by the presence of their gorgeous pup, who happily posed like the proudest big brother.  Honestly, at points I actually forgot he was a dog and thought he was a person, he was such an amazing model.

Newborn sessions are all about capturing these fleeting early days, and it’s always lovely when families want to include personal touches – whether that’s a favourite toy, a blanket, or, in this case, a much‑loved dog. These images are ones they’ll treasure forever!

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.
