A newborn wrapped in white lies on a bed covered with purple fur and a vase of hydrangeas nearby

There’s something magical about those first few days with a newborn. The way they curl, the little breaths, the soft expressions—everything feels brand new and full of possibility. This session was one of those lovely, calm mornings where everything just fell into place.

Wrapped in soft creams and nestled on a miniature vintage bed, this sweet girl slept right through her entire shoot. I brought in a little pop of personality with the layered lilacs and rich purple textures, adding depth while still keeping things timeless. The dusky florals complemented the setup beautifully, and her delicate headband finished the look off with just the right touch of charm.

Newborn sessions in my studio are always baby-led, meaning we move at their pace, pause when needed, and keep the atmosphere calm and gentle throughout. It’s never rushed, never forced—just a chance to soak in this incredible, fleeting chapter and preserve it in portraits you’ll treasure forever.

If you’re thinking of booking a newborn session, I recommend coming in within the first 2–3 weeks if possible—but beautiful images can be captured at any stage. Just get in touch when you’re ready, and we’ll make something lovely together.

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.
